I found this tree (which is a native of India) 

 growing at one or two places on Flat Island where it 

 is exposed to wind, very stunted and old-looking 

 although small. It is found naturalised in nearly all 

 the low lying warm parts of the mainland. In the 

 district of Black River there are some fine road 

 avenues of it. 



This has recently been introduced into Flafc 

 Island from Mauritius, where it abounds. It is a 

 native of America, Its young branches and leaves 

 are much sought after by goats, cattle and other 

 browsing animals.

 duced to Mauritius, where it is now naturalised and 

 whence it has spread to Flat Island. 



This tree is said to have been introduced to Mau- 

 ritius from Bengal by Cossigny, in ] 767* It is now 

 naturalised throughout all the hot dry parts of Mau- 

 ritius where it attains large dimensions and yields 

 excellent timber. Cattle, goats, &c., are very fond of 

 its leaves which they devour greedily. It is coming 

 up in several parts since the cattle were taken off the 

 jsland. 



This small shrub is very common throughout the 

 tropics of the old world, it abounds among the rocks 

 on the shore at Flat Island. 



This climber is a native of tropical America. It
