detected this plant in the Mauritius. In the wood of Bel- 
ombre, in the same island (where the plant is known by the 
name of Wild Arbutus), our specimens here figured were ga- 
thered. I have others, with which I have been favoured by 
Mr Terarr, which were gathered by the indefatigable bo- 
tanists HELsINBoRG and BoJER in mountainous places, on 
the banks of rivers, in the province of Kmirne, Madagascar.
