62 THE BOTANY OF BERMUDA. 
Blighia sapida, Keen. 
A tree of the West Indies; originally from West Africa. In the gar- 
den at Par-la-ville; flowers in July. Fruit ripe in November. 
Sapindus Saponaria, Linn. Soapberry. 
In a few gardens; flowers in November. 
S. longifolius, Vahl. 
At Mount Langton; a small tree which had not flowered down to 1876. 
Dodonea viscosa, Linn. Broom; Dogwood. 
Preity generally diffused; abundant at the east end of Harrington 
Sound; may be known by its highly colored, winged seed-vessels; 
flowers in March. Identified by Grisebach and Dr. Rein as D. angusti- 
folia, Lam. Possibly both specimens are found; named after Dodocus, 
a botanist. 
Nephelium Litchi, Lour. Lee-chee or Litchi. 
Introduced by Governor Elliott about 1853. 
A tree at Mount Langton bore abundantly in 1871; flowers about 
February. Fruit in August. (Dimocarpus Litchi, Lour.) 
Koelreuteria paniculata. 
A native of China. Introduced. The locality in which it was found 
has not been noted. 
Pavia, sp. 
A tree in the grounds of Mrs. Ewing, Hamilton, digitate leaves, which 
has never flowered; appears to be Pavia humilis of the Horse-chestnut 
family. 
XXX VII.—TEREBINTHACE A. 
Rhus Toxicodendron, Linn. Poison ivy. 
Native, and among the plants mentioned by the earliest travelers 
(1623). Common in good soil, and viewed with much dread by the 
inhabitants. Different constitutions are susceptible in very different 
degrees to the poisonous emanations of this plant; many persons can 
handle it and smell the flowers, which are very fragrant, with impunity ; 
others have painful blisters produced on the face and hands by going 
near it, and, as is sometimes asserted, without being conscious of its 
presence. 
Rhus excisa, Thunb. 
Introduced from Cambridge, Mass., 1875.
