JONES ON THE VEGETATION OF THE BEEMUDAS. 255 



Pyeus MALUS, X. ''Apple." Hab. Britain. Although the apple 

 tree bears fruit, it is of inferior growth and flavour compared 

 with that grown in northern latitudes. 



Prunus ? Varieties cultivated. 



Cydonia vulgaris, Jacq. Hab. S. Europe. 



EOSACEiE. 



SPiR-aEA salicifolia, L. Hab. Britain. 



Fragaria virginiana, JEhr. Hab. N. America. 



RUBUS ? 



Rosa ? Perhaps in no country in the world does the rose in 



its several varieties thrive and blossom in greater perfection than 

 in the Bermudas. Both standard and climbing roses are ex- 

 tremely common, and of the most luxuriant growth. One 

 exception, however, must be made ; the moss rose is a perfect 

 failure. From what cause it is difficult to imagine, but perhaps 

 the failure of the fuchsia also may arise from the same circum- 

 stance. 



POMACES. 



Eriobotrya JAPONiCA, D. C. Hab. Japan. *'Loquat." Very 

 common in gardens. 



Crataegus ? 



SPIREACE^.
