66 THE BOTANY OF BERMUDA. 
Dolichos Lablab, Linn. 
A beautiful variety with purple veins is to be found in some gardens 
at Saint George’s; perhaps D. purpureus. 
Another at Mount Langton. 
Canavalia obtusifolia, DC. Bay bean. 
Native, and to be found mixed with Inomea pes capre along the south 
shore; flowers in December. It is mentioned as early as 1623. 
Psoralea glandulosa, Linn. 
Sent from Cambridge in 1874. Doing well in 1877. 
Balsamocarpon brevifolium, Chois. 
A packet of seeds of this valuable plant was received from Kew in 
April, 1875. They germinated, but the young plants were all in succes- 
sion attacked by some insect and none of them survived. 
Adenocarpus telonensis, DC. 
Introduced from Cambridge, Mass., 1874, and living 1877. 
Argyrolobium androsemifolium. 
The same remark. 
Anthyllis Barba-Jovis, Linn. 
The same remark. 
Tamarindus Indica, Linn. Tamarind. 
To judge from the size of the oldest trees, the Tamarind must have 
been introduced a century ago. One of the finest trees in the Islands is 
a Tamarind at Point Shares, which is 9 feet 6 inches in girth. One at 
Brightwood is said to be 14 feet in girth. No use is made of the fruit. 
This is but one of many examples of the neglect of minor industries by 
the natives of Bermuda. Preserves are imported, notwithstanding the 
abundance of native fruits suitable for making them. 
Seeds of the great leguminous climber of the West Indies, Hntada 
scandens, Benth., are often washed ashore in Bermuda, but the plant is 
not known to have ever grown. 
Cesalpinia pulcherrima, Sw. Barbadoes’ Pride. 
Barbadoes flower-fence, at the rectory, Southampton Parish, and 
elsewhere; naturalized in the West Indies; originally from the East 
Indies. (Poinciana pulcherrima, Linn.) Flowers in August.
