n Boerhaave’s Hortus siccus (H. 5. 82, fol. 135) is a specimen 
with very densely set primordial foliage, with the inscription. 
“ Juniperus Bormudiana Herm. Catal. = horto curiosissimi D.

primordial foliage of which is —_ but nt invariably, densely set

“ Sloane’s ** Voyage... to Ba rbados . . and Jamaica,”

at the British Museum. Sloane’ 6 deboription runs thus:—‘‘ J, maxima

specimen corresponds, so far as it goes, with J. ber mudiana, and, 1f 
so, it would appear either that that species occurs in Jamaica, as 
well as in Bermuda, or that Sloane obtained his specimen from the 
ist-named island, of which there is no evidence.
