Browne informs us that he met with this plant in Montserrat ; 
and Swartz gives it, on the authority of Dr Anderson, as a 
native of the West-India islands. I am inclined to doubt its

was the name of a noisy Greek instrument, similar to the cym- 
bals, or, according to some, to the castanets of the present day. 
It applies to the present genus, from the seeds rattling, when 
ripe, in the inflated pods, and occasioning a noise. The flowers 
of many of the species deserve, in some degree, the name of 
beautiful. They do not however possess any valuable or pecu- 
liar qualities.
