TRAVELS Iff 
with beds of violets, lupins, Amaryllis atamafco, 
and plants of a new and very beautiful fpecies of 
Mimofa fenfitiva, which I think as admirable and 
more charming than the celebrated Humble plant, 
equally chafle and fearful of the hafly touch of the 
furprifed admirer. The flower is larger, of a bright 
damafk rofe colour, and exceedingly fragrant : the 
whole plant is dellitute of prickles, but hairy : it is 
procumbent, reclining itfelf upon the green turf, 
and from thefe trailing branches proceeds an upright 
peduncle, fix or eight inches high, fupporting an 
oblong head of flowerets, which altogether, at a

glauca, Itea Clethra, Chionanthus, Gordonia lafi- 
anthus. Ilex anguflifolium, Oiea Americana, Ho- 
pea tinToria, dec. are feated in detached groves 
or clumps, round about the ponds or little lakes, 
at the lower end of the favannas. I obferved, 
growing on the banks of this fequeftered river, the 
following trees and fhrubs ; Quercus fempervirens, 
Q^aquatica, Q^Phiilos, Q^dentata, Nyfla aquati- 
ca, N. fyivatica, N. Ogeeche, li. coccinea, Cupref- 
fus difticha, Fraxinus aquatica, Rhamnus frangula, 
Prunus laurocerafa, Cyrilla racemiflora, Myrica 
cerifera, Andromeda ferruginia, Andr. nitida, and 
the great evergreen Andromeda of Florida, called 
Pipe-ftem Wood, to which I gave the name of An- 
dromeda formofiffima, as it far exceeds in beauty 
every one of this family.
