Derivation. Named in honour of Bory de St. Vincent, who visited the Mauritius and the Isle of

being applied to this genus, because La Billardiére had previously given the same name to another 
genus ; and ke suggests the substitution of the name of Bigeldvéa, in commemoration of Dr. 
Bigelow of Boston, author of the Florula Bostoniensis, and of the American Medical Botany.
