THE BOTANY OF BERMUDA. fla 
as a curiosity than for use. <A tree in Mr. Jackson’s garden, Hamilton, is 
the most regular bearer; flowers February and March. A number of 
trees were planted at Mount Langton in 1872 and flowered, but never 
produced fruit. 
Pyrus communis. Pear. 
Pears have been produced, especially by Hon. Hugenius Harvey, 1876, 
but the tree does not succeed. Of 18 trees from Baltimore, planted at 
Mount Langton, 1872~76, not one bore fruit or made healthy growth. 
They were of 7 varieties. 
Cydonia vulgaris, Pers. Quince. 
Tolerably common, in moist ground, and bears pretty well. The tree 
degenerates to a straggling bush, and flowers irregularly in April and 
May. 
Eriobotrya Japonica, Lindl. Photinia. Japan medlar. 
Introduced from Malta by Sir W. Reid, about 1850, and now very 
common. It flowers about September; the fruit is ripe in January, and 
in good soil and sheltered situations is excellent. 
XL.—SAXIFRAGEA. 
Hydrangea hortensis, Sm. 
The Hydrangea is almost unknown in Bermuda, although so common 
in Madeira. Imported plants rarely flower well, and soon die off, prob- 
ably for want of moisture at the roots. 
XLI.—PHILADELPHEZ. 
Deutzia scabra, Thunb. 
Grown in gardens. 
XLIT.—CRASSULACEZ. 
Bryophyllum calycinwm, Salisb. Lip plant. 
One of the commonest weeds. First introduced into Bermuda as a 
curiosity by a Captain Stowe, in 1813, but now naturalized everywhere. 
From bryo, I grow; phyllon, a leaf; Gr. 
Echeveria gibbiflora, DC., var. metallica. 
Introduced at Mount Langton, 1872, from Kew, and becoming com- 
mon. 
Kalanchoe, sp.
