" Opuntia Maxima, foliis majoribus crassioribus et atrovirenti- 

 bus, spinis minoribus et paucioribus obsitis. Cat.pl. Jam., 

 p. 195. 



" This Indian fig was in every part exactly the same with 

 the common, only each leaf was broader, thicker, of a darker 

 green colour, and not so prickly, having a very few white 

 short prickles, and sometimes only one, coming out at a 

 hole very like that kind on which comes the cochineal, only 

 it is not quite so free of prickles as that. 



" It grows in Madeira and in the Canaries. 

 " (Opuntia Tuna. Linn.)" 



LIST OF CULTIVATED PLANTS GROWING IN THE GARDENS OF 

 THE PALMEIEA AND THE DEANERY. 



As a fair specimen of perennial plants cultivated in a 

 Madeira garden, may be taken the following list, arranged 

 according to the " Natural System of Botany, by John Lind- 

 ley, 1836," and furnished me by the kindness of C. Bewicke, 

 Esq., being the produce of the garden of the Quinta da 

 Palmeira. To these the names of a few other plants that 

 are found in the garden of the Deanery have been added 

 by C. Conybeare, Esq.
