it is not common and only 2 plants of it were seen in the 

 liiglier parts of the Island, about 800 feet above the sea. It 

 is not in the Herbarium. The dots and leaves are black, and 

 it comes very near the description of Badida OvalifoUa \. 

 Don V. II p. 13, a species which I have cot yet seen. 



ISTo. 15. Terminalia qyscies : This seems to me to be a new 

 discovery for this part of the globe as you will see from en- 

 closed specimens from the Royal College Herbarium that it 

 differs from all the Termincdice hitherto known in these parts. 

 In fact it seems nearly allied to the Indian Terminalia than 

 those of Mauritius, Bourbon, or Eodrigues. It is a tree of 

 some size, one was seen that had a trunk of about 4 or 5 feet 

 in height, and from 15 to IS inches in diameter ; its branches 

 extended to about 25 or 30 feet. No flower of it or seeds 

 could be found and only 3 trees of it vvere seen. 



No. IG. Jossinia sjjecies this species is not in the E. C. 

 Herbarium and if I am not mistaken, it is the first time that 

 I have seen it, is very possible that it is also new. It is a 

 small shrubby tree about 5 to 10 feet in height. 



No. 17. FerneUa species : Perhaps F. huxifolia vv^bich it 

 greatly resembles. Shrub 4 to 7 feet in height and found 

 from nearly the level of the sea, to the higher parts of the 

 island, where it quite averages 7 feet in height. 



No. 18. Pyrostria species : not common ; I mistook this in 

 a former list for a Jossinia. P. polymorplia is nearer this than 

 any other species native of the main land, but it seems to me 

 to be thinner in the leaves than the species from Eound 

 Island. P. Poli/morpha from the Eoyal College Herbarium is 

 sent for comparison. 



No. 19. Biospyros : near Z>. pterocalj/x a small tree 10 to 

 13 feet in height. 



No. 20. DiosptjTQs Sp. ' A dwarf spreading shrub growing 

 on the margins of the wooded parts of the island ; very com- 

 mon near D. Melanida. 



No. 21. Diospi/ros Sp. : A small tree 8.12 feet high. JD. 

 Clirysopliylla ; common. 



No. 22. Sp. : A small tree about 12 feet in height, somewhat 

 resembles BlacJavellia, but I cannot trace it to any of them. 



No. 23. Aloe sp. : This seems to me to differ from the
