THE BOTANY OF BERMUDA. 49 
Capsella Bursa-pastoris Moh. Shepherd’s purse. 
A weed in gardens. Probably introduced from Great Britain, but of 
very general diffusion. 
Iberis violacea Ait. Candytuft. 
Quite naturalized by road-sides, chiefly in St. Georges Island, to 
which its delicate and abundant flowers are a pleasing ornament. 
Cakile maritima, Scop., var. equalis Sea-rocket? L. Her., Scurvy grass. 
Very common along the shores, and occasionally cooked for food. 
Raphanus sativus, Linn. Radish, cultivated.

From Cambridge, Mass., 1874. 
Matthiola incana, R. Br. Wild stock. 
To be found, but not abundantly, among the rocks along the south- 
ern shore, in Warwick Parish. Probably escaped from gardens.

IX.—CAPPARIDACEZ. 
Cleome speciosa, H. B., Candelabra plant. 
Native of Mexico, common in West Indies. Introduced and almost 
a weed, seeding itself abundantly at Mount Langton. Two varieties, 
purple and white. It grows to a height of 3 feet or more. 
C. pungens, Willd. The white variety.

leaves, rusty beneath, branches and inflorescence covered with scales; a 
shrubby tree about 10 feet high; name from the Arabic Kabar. The caper 
plant, C. spinosa, Linn., so abundant at Malta, would probably also
