THE BOTANY OF BERMUDA. 97 
Lantana Camara, Linn. Red sage. 
Naturalized and abundant. It was introduced from Madeira about 
1819, and formerly called Madeira sage = L. aculeata, Linn. 
L. crocea, Jacq. Prickly sage. 
Less common; flowers more yellow. It was brought from Madeira in 
1818. 
I. odorata, Linn. Common sage. 
Introduced from the Bahamas by Colonel Spoffoth toward the end of 
the last century, with the idea that it would be good for firing, which it 
is not. Itis now the pest of Bermuda, overrunning woods and past- 
ures, and permitted by the supineness of the inhabitants to render thou- 
sands of acres of land valueless. 
Citharexylon quadrangulare, Linn. Fiddlewood. 
Naturalized and common, although said to have been first introduced 
by Archdeacon Spenser at Paynter’s Vale, about the year 1830. 
Duranta Plumieri, Linn. Pigeon berry. 
Naturalized and common. The native species is unarmed. Some 
plants imported from Maderia in 1873 proved to be spiny, and the flow- 
ers somewhat larger and of a deeper blue than the common species. 
Callicarpa ferruginea? Sw. Turkey berry. 
One of the most ornamental of native plants, from its large masses of 
magenta-colored fruit. Found chiefly in the Walsingham tract; flowers 
in June. 
Volkameria aculeata, Linn. Prickly myrtle. (Clerodendron aculeatum, 
Gr.) 
Naturalized at Spanish Point and on Ireland Island, but not very 
often met with. 
Clerodendron capitatun. 
Wild around Pembroke workhouse, formerly the rectory; probably 
introduced. 
Avicennia nitida, Linn. Black mangrove. 
Native; usually accompanies the mangrove proper; there is a grove 
of trees on comparatively dry soil at Shelly Bay. The popular name, 
black mangrove, is derived from the color of the wood. (A. tomentosa, 
Linn., in Lane’s list.)
