* Pandanus leram (Nicobar bread-fruit) is said to be of the palm kind. 
f The male vallisneria spiralis, being always under water, hath a irefy short 
Stalk, on the top of which its flowers are produced, and when nearly arrived at 
maturity, they are separated from the stalk, and come unopened to the surface of the 
water; soon afterwards they expand themselves, and swim about the female flowers, 
which are blown at the same time, and lie on the surface of the Water to receive 
the farina. The female flowers have long spiral stalks, which, relaxing, permit 
them to rise to the surface, and remaining there in full dress, receive the visits of 
the male; and in a few days return again under water. 
I Salix herlaccea, as Dr. Smith remarks, is the least of all shrubs, for although 
the stems are only an inch, or inch and half long, they are truly woody and peren¬ 
nial. Found on the highest mountains of Scotland, Cumberland, and Wales. 
§ Many of the houses at or about the Cape of Good Hope, are covered with ® 
sort of dark coloured reed (restio tectorumj.
