PREFACE.

Having devoted much of my leisure, during
a long professional residence in Barbados, to
preparing a Flora of that island, which will, in a
great measure, answer for the whole Caribbean
Archipelago, I am induced to lay it before the
public, hoping that it may be found useful to
botanical students in general, and more especially
adapted to the wants of those persons who are
resident in our valuable colonies in the West.
As, however, there are several works which might
seem to supersede the necessity of that I now
offer, it may be allowed me to remark, that what-
ever may be expected from their title-pages, or
the abilities of their authors, there is none of them
which could be adopted asa Flora of Barbados
and the neighbouring islands.
It would be impossible for any one, who is a
lover of botany, to contemplate detracting from
b

favourite pursuits. But since the year 1756,
when-the Civil and Natural History of Jamaica
was published, great alterations have been made
in, and abundant matter added te, the science of
botany. Swartz, Aublet, Jacquin, Plumeir, and
others, have largely increased our knowledge of
intertropical plants; nevertheless the works of
these authors, whether from being descriptive of
plants of other places, including comparatively
few of those found in the islands, or from their
being confined to a particular class of plants, or
to plants little or not at all previously known, are
none of them of such a nature as to supercede
the necessity or usefulness of the Flora I have
endeavoured to furnish.

The Natural History of Barbados, published
in 1750, by the Rev. Griffith Hughes, A.M. is
adorned with many characteristic and well exe-
cuted plates. It must be admitted, however, that
these are the most valuable part of his book, the
descriptions in the text being so loose, imperfect,
and inaccurate, and so evidently behind the state
of the science at the time they were written, that
it would hardly be possible to recognize any of
his plants, not represented in a plate, if it were
not for the agreement of the title in the Natural
History with the name at present in current use.

PREFACE. vil

Mr. Hughes was, in fact, altogether unacquainted
with botany, and unequal to the task in which he
engaged: his descriptions appear to have been
frequently taken from the information of super-
ficial observers, which will account for their in-
accuracy as far as they go; and his book, being
scarcely more than a list of vernacular names, is
of little, or indeed of no value to the student.
Mr. Hughes himself seems to have been aware of
this, for he observes, “ As this treatise, with regard
to vegetables, is confined within a narrow sphere,
it cannot be supposed to comprise rules for a
regular system of botany; nor does it, therefore,
require me to descend to every minute circum-
stance, necessary, and expected only, to be ex-
patiated upon by those who undertake to write
botanic systems.” *

My object in the present attempt has been to
exhibit a correct scientific arrangement of all the
plants I have met with in Barbados, according to

* I cannot here omit to notice a manuscript description of
many of the plants of Barbados, prepared some years since by
the late Dr. Collins. This Gentleman’s access to books was
very limited, but he was possessed of considerable botanical
knowledge ; and the manuscript, although left imperfect and
uncorrected, bears abundant testimony of the ability and science
of the author,

the Linnean system, and conforming to the most
recent and improved alterations and amendments.

- J have added the vernacular name assigned to

each of these plants in the Gardener’s Dictionary,
the Hortus Kewensis, the Hortus Britannicus, the
English Flora, and in some other popular works,
as marking the appellation by which they are
more familiarly known in Britain; also those in
use in Jamaica, as far as I have been able to

ascertain them from Browne and Long. I have |
carefully endeavoured to identify the plants men-
tioned in the Natural History of Barbados with
their proper originals ; although, from the loose-
ness and inaccuracy of description already alluded
to, it has generally been difficult, and frequently
impossible to effect this with any thing like cer-
tainty. I have also added the names now

~ eurrently prevalent in Barbados, when different

from those adopted by Mr. Hughes; but many
plants are not distinguished by any particular
English name, being simply included by the
vulgar under the general denomination of wild
plants.

Although the Linnean artificial method has

‘been adopted, I have thought it.expedient to mark

the order to which each genus belongs in the
natural arrangement proposed by Linneus, and

in the more extended and very erudite system of
the younger Jussieu; and without particularly
tracing the alterations and improvements, from time
to time made by the latter author, in the termination
of the names of his orders, and in the disposition
of some of his genera, I have endeavoured to keep
pace with our advancing knowledge by very
frequent references to recent sources of informa-
tion; and herein, more particularly, to the labours
of M. De Candolle, and Mr. Robert Brown. In
these authors most ample details of generic dis-
tinctions will be found, to which I think it sufficient
to direct the attention of the botanical student.
That very considerable difficulties obstruct the
formation of a natural arrangement of plants was
perceived and explained by Linngus; and it is
certain, that all attempts hitherto made have been
clogged with imperfections and inconsistencies.
The plan itself of Jussieu is indeed not entirely
natural: the formation of his classes, from the
cotelydons and the position of the stamens, is beyond
doubt artificial; and the classes of De Candolle, on
the same principle, are not proposed by that
author as natural. The distinction of some orders
is, moreover, entirely dependant on definitions, in
a great degree arbitrary. Many other orders,
however, are so purely natural, that we may rea-

sonably conclude that the natural affinities. of
plants are real, and not fancied, and that our
attempts to arrange them accordingly will attain
a high degree of perfection, as we become more
familiar with the objects of the vegetable king-
dom. It is not, however, to be contemplated,
that natural arrangement will ever be rendered
so complete as to supercede the artificial plan,
founded by Linnzus on the number, situation,
proportion, and connection of the stamens and
pistils; which, when it has received from the
process of science, those few amendments, of which
it at present stands more or less in need, will
become perfect as an artificial system, which is
all it professes to be.* The aim, indeed, of
natural and artificial arrangement is clearly
different; and it is altogether unnecessary, and
improper, to consider these methods as opposed ;
or to urge that the latter separates genera, be-
tween which there is a strong relationship and
analogy, and involves unnatural assemblages, In
answer to this it is sufficient to admit, that the
artificial plan, as its distinctive appellation un-
equivocally explains, does not -profess to be a
natural one; but is intended to assist the memory,

and to afford the means of arranging plants where
they may be found with the greatest degree of
facility: and it may, therefore be contended that
whatever it attains beyond this is so much more
than it promises. Natural orders, on the other
hand, depend on the more obvious and general
habits, characters, and relations of plants; they
appear indicated by Nature herself, and in some
instances are peculiarly evident and perfect, as in
the grasses, the palms, and the ferns, compound
flowers, umbelliferous and cruciform plants, &e. &e.

Natural arrangement has been long the favou-
rite of botanists of the French school; but has
recently been cultivated with great success in
Britain. Although, therefore, for the purposes
already stated, the artificial system is pre-
eminently useful, natural affinities must be
studied by all who wish to become philosophically
acquainted with: botanical science. The many
points of connexion and distinction between the
orders cannot be well understood, without greatly
facilitating our discrimination of plants; and not
unfrequently, in the investigation of unknown
plants, a knowledge of such cireumstancés will
at once direct us into the right tract.

but in the case of a few plants indigenous in
Barbados, I have felt constrained to depart from
this rule.* Evanescent varieties have not been
noticed, and those which, on account of their
greater permanence, it has been thought necessary
to introduce, are numbered as they occur in Bar-
bados, without regard to the more extensive
enumeration to be found in systematic works. I
have been careful to select synonyms from the
best authority, and at the same time not to increase
the bulk of the volume by unnecessarily multiply-
ing them. A reference to Sloane and Browne has
never been intentionally omitted; and I have sel-
dom neglected to quote Plumier, Jacquin, Aublet,
and Swartz. The older authors, Dillenius, Pluke-
net, Ray, Bauhin, Tournefort, &c. have more
seldom been introduced. 1 have, however, too
much consulted the gratification of those who may
look into his book, not to direct their attention to
the splendid specimens of British and foreign art,

* It may be necessary to remind the classical reader that the
barbarous words, which too frequently occur in the definitions,
are in general use with botanists, and constitute a portion of the
technical language of the science. 'To account for some apparent
inconsistencies in orthography, the author would have it under-

“stood that it has been his wish to quote literally the synonyms

admitted.

with which the present age so fruitfully abounds.
Thus has the addition of plates to this work been
rendered in a great degree unnecessary. They
would, indeed, have been highly ornamental ;
but they must have considerably increased the
expence of the volume, without, in an adequate
degree, extending its usefulness.

The following observations on the subject of
references, from the preface of Sir James E. Smith
to his English Flora, have made on my mind their
proper impression. “J cannot,” says this much
lamented botanist, “ insist too often on the mis-
chief of copying synonyms from other works,
The value of synonyms consists entirely in their
collector being answerable for their exactness;
by which he enriches his own work with the
accumulated treasures of the botanical library,
as far as his readers think proper to follow up
the pursuit. But if he blindly transcribes them,
such surreptitious references are sure to be soon
discovered by the frequent errors of the press,
respecting pages or figures, which occur in most
books. At a single discovery of this kind, all our
respect and confidence vanish; for we know not
that every thing else of the same nature is not
equally fallacious; and an author who has ap-
peared very learned and deeply read, proves a

copyist of the lowest rank, decked out with im-
posing, but borrowed feathers.” With the full
force of these truths constantly operating, I have
spent much time and labour in consulting the
authors quoted; abundant proofs of which are
scattered through the following pages. What-
ever errors, therefore, I may have fallen into, I
confidently trust I shall be acquitted of those of
a copyist.

I will not pretend that every plant in Barbados
has been described. Some, very many perhaps,
from the infrequency of their occurrence in ordi-
nary situations, and from their minuteness, |
can readily believe have escaped observation.
Several have been purposely omitted, as I had
not been able to see and examine them in their
flowering and fruiting states, when I was hurried
from the island by ill health. Some, which I was
led to expect to find, were searched for in vain,
and have probably been exterminated by the
almost universal cultivation of the soil, or remain
only in the most secluded and inaccessible spots.
When any doubt has remained on my mind
respecting a plant from insufficient opportunity
of examining it, which, in more than one instance,
has been the case, I have thought it incumbent
on me to mark that doubt by a note of interro-

PREFACE. XV

gation, placed after the supposed specific name;
that others may be guided to a careful examina-

tion, before admitting as certain what I only

propose as probable.

The Introductory Essay on the Geological Fea-
tures of the island, and the map and sections, will
probably be interesting to some persons, and I
hope may not be deemed altogether foreign to
the principal object of the publication,

The addition of the vernacular names is con-
fessedly intended for the benefit of those who are
attached to botanical pursuits, but who might
find much difficulty and trouble in recognizing
individual plants by their generic and specific
characters alone. Anxious to promote the study
of botany in the West Indies, I have in this way
endeavoured to afford that assistance, which has
been so amply supplied to the student in Britain.

Botany has not unfrequently been represented
as a mere detail of verbal distinctions; but how

falsely has, I believe, been experienced by all

who have given much consideration to the
subject. It should rather be considered as a
science, which, while it habituates the mind to
close observation and minute arrangement, tends
to meliorate the dispositions, and to fill the soul
with a grateful sense of the rational delight to

be derived from the boundless charms of nature.
Hard, indeed, must be the heart of that man, who
can enjoy a benefit without gratitude to the giver.
The evil of our mind is, that we possess, and
appropriate, but do not enjoy. To a large class
of mankind creation hourly displays its perfection
in vain: their taste for enjoyment, unimproved by
neglect, or vitiated by habit, is confined to objects
purely sensual, and raises not the mind above
subordinate agents; they are strangers to the
contemplation of nature, which is attended with
intellectual delight, exhalts the thoughts, purifies
the desires, and displays to the mind overwhelmed
with admiration the infinite attributes of the
Creator of the Universe.

It is not my intention to state, that the beauties
of the vegetable kingdom are exhibited for the
botanist alone; but that his pursuits afford a fertile
source of innocent amusement, remove him, for a
time at least, from the cares and contentions of the
world, and lead him to scenes of solitude and. of
peace, where feelings are naturally called forth,
far more precious than that knowledge of classi-
fication and arrangement, which is supposed to
be the sole object of his science. Injoyment such
as this is thankfulness, and thankfulness is praise.
From our moral and physical constitution, we

PREFACE. XVii

require that the serious business of life should
alternate with periods of pleasurable relaxation;
but as there is one point, to which all our pursuits,
as rational and responsible agents should tend,
it is of the greatest consequence to our present
and future well-being that our sources of amuse-
ment be wisely chosen. ‘“ Some studies seem to
contract the mind, but such is not the character
of natural science, which enlarges the under-
standing by a perpetual display of the power
and wisdom of God, and encourages our hopes
by sure testimonies of his goodness. He who
feeds the sparrows, and clothes the golden lily of
the fields in a splendour beyond that of Solomon
himself, invites us, his rational creatures, to con-
fide in his promises of eternal life. The simplest
blade of grass, and the grain of corn, to which
‘he gives its own body,’ are sufficient to convince
us that our trust cannot be in vain.” *

It is indeed true, that the works of nature,
eloquent as they are, do not to every one plead
with irresistible force. There have been some
persons, intimately familiar with natural science,
who, from causes too serious to be here alluded to
in a superficial manner, have had their hearts little
or not at all affected by the stupendous objects of

their continued research. It is with the works, as
it is with the words of God: they are not unfre-
quently so studied, that the knowledge obtained
has nothing of the character of true wisdom, and is
in some instances, even turned against the most
sacred and immutable truths. Such aberration
of cultivated genius, when it occurs, exhibits in
the strongest light the imperfection, and insuflfi-
ciency of unassisted human reason; is a becoming
lesson of humiliation to the pride of philosophy,
and, could we even confine our views to this
perishable world, is well calculated to excite our
commiseration. But we must not measure the
excellence of nature by the effects it has on the
obdurate heart of man. Creation is always the
same, not more astonishing as a whole, from the
perfection of its harmony, and the immensity of
its grandeur, than in its minutest parts, from their
variety, beauty, and adaptation. Surely he who
is best acquainted with such wonders—he who
contemplates in detail the innumerable objects
of admiration, which present themselves in a
blended mass to the multitude—surely he ought
to be most deeply and sensibly affected by

them; and such, I am confident, is the general
fact as regards the student of natural history.
If, indeed, the apothegm, “the proper study of

PREFACE. XIX

mankind is man,” be literally and exclusively
admitted, natural science in general must yield
much of its claim to the estimation of the wise;
but if the noblest study of mankind be God, then
may natural science firmly maintain its ground,
independent of the many applications to the neces-
sities, the comforts, and the elegancies of human
life, to which it is subservient. By it the book of
creation is laid open before us, and in it the indu-
bitable proofs of the Divine Author—in it “ his
glorious attributes are written in large and legible
characters.” As relates to botany, the endless
number of plants with which the Deity has covered
the earth, are, as Linnzeus has somewhere piously
observed, so many monuments of his wisdom and
his power—from effects we instinctively pass to
the cause—from the creature to the Creator. It is
impossible to commune with nature, and be un-
mindful of God: and to conclude with the words
of the excellent Paley,* “ if one train of thinking
be more desirable than another, it is that which
regards the phenomena of nature, with a constant’
reference to a supreme, intelligent author. To
have made this the ruling, the habitual sentiment
of our minds, is to have laid the foundation of

forth becomes a temple; and life one continued

Ir would be impossible by any similitude to
illustrate sufficiently the irregular figure of Bar-
bados. It is twenty-one miles in length; and its
greatest breadth does not exceed fourteen. It is
situate in the thirteenth degree of North latitude,
and the fifty-ninth of West longitude.

That portion of the coast, the aspect of which is
to the West, and to the South, is generally shelving
to the sea, with a flat shallow beach; the South-
Eastern, and the Northern coasts are, on the con-
trary, perpendicularly precipitous from thirty to
sixty feet, and the water immediately becomes
deep, except in some of the small creeks, where

steep sandy beaches occur under the rocky cliffs.

The windward, or North-Eastern coast, to the
extent of fifteen miles or more, exhibits a mixed
character, the low land sinking very gradually
under the sea, and the rugged conical hills termi-
nating not in mural precipices, but sloping abruptly

to a flat extended beach. The island is nearly
encircled with rocks, many of which are rolled
masses at a considerable distance from their ori-
ginal situation. The greater part, however, of this
rocky belt consists of the substance of the island,
extended under the surface of the water in tables,
and rising in reefs, or insulated rocks, at no great
distance from the shore.

The surface of this island may properly be dis-
tinguished into the flat, and the hilly. The low
land occupies the northern, southern, and western
parts; and rises by precipitous, broken, acclivities,
running parallel to the coast, in terraces of flat,
open country to the highest land, situate some-
thing to the North of the centre of the island.
This progressive rise is, indeed, sometimes inter-
rupted by the occurrence of valleys; one only of
which, termed THe VALLEY, is deserving particular
notice. This tract of low land passes from the
windward coast of the ‘TuickreTs between two
elevated ridges, denominated The Ridge and The
Cliff, through the parishes of Saint Philip, and
Saint George, to Bridge Town; forming the only
general interruption to the regular terraced rise
from the sea to the highest land. If the sea were
fifty or sixty feet above its present level, Barbados
would be divided into two islets, of unequal size,
by a narrow strait occupying the site of what is
now THe VALLEY.

INTRODUCTORY ESSAY. 5

Mowunt Hibiasy is the highest land, its altitude
‘being eleven hundred and forty-seven feet above
the level of the sea; from which it is distant, in a
direct line, about four miles. From this point the
high land branches off in steep precipitous ridges,
in two directions, northerly and easterly, and
southerly and easterly, towards the sea on the
windward coast; suddenly diminishing in height
as they approach it. These two ridges of high
land embrace a country, the appearance of which
is altogether different from the flat, open scenery
of that which has just been described. This por-
tion of the island is distinguished by the appella-
tions, ScorLanD, and Bretow tHE Curr. The
hills in this district are numerous; they are lofty,
conical, and steep, and project irregularly from the
ridges of high land, or rise in small groups from
the plain, which is little above the level of the sea.
The deep valleys intersecting the hills are covered
with the most luxuriant vegetation, the hills them-
selves appearing naked and barren, or richly
clothed with timber. ‘The scenery is every where

wild, irregular, and picturesque, and displays in .

miniature all the beauties of a mountainous country.

Such is the striking dissimilarity in the general
appearance of the two districts. Attentive obser-
vation points out an essential difference in the
immediate substratum of the soil; that of the flat
country being entirely calcareous, the soil of the

6 INTRODUCTORY ESSAY.
hilly district resting almost exclusively on mineral
substances belonging to the clay genus.
Upon examining the structure of the calcareous
formation, we find it to consist of the spoils of
zoophites; of which several species of madrepore,
millepore, corallinze, and alcyoniz, are strikingly
evident. ‘These are cemented together by carbo-
nate of lime, containing an abundance, and great
variety, of shells. The cement may be said to vary
from marl, more or less indurated, to a hard com-
pact limestone, with conchoidal fracture, and
translucency on the edges. In some places the
organic remains constitute the principal, in all a
very considerable portion of this formation ; and
although these remains are intimately blended
in the common structure, they appear to be
arranged in families; in some situations the
madrepore, in others the alcyonie, being most
conspicuous. This structure of the calcareous
formation prevails throughout its whole extent,
even at its highest elevation, which reaches nearly
eleven hundred and fifty feet ; and in some places,
as in the neighbourhood of Hackleton’s Cliff, at
Ape’s Hill Gully, and in many other similar situa-
tions, mural precipices of this coralline aggregate
are exposed, between one and two hundred feet in
height. Upon this coralline mass is occasionally
found beds of white shelly sandstone, similar to
that of Guadaloupe, in which the reliquiee of human

INTRODUCTORY ESSAY. 7

bodies have recently been discovered. This sand-
stone is quarried for the purposes of building, and,
being sufficiently porous, is employed for the filtra-
tion of water. It sometimes seems disposed to
assume the slaty structure, and when the beds are
of considerable thickness they simulate the appear-
ance of stratification. Calcareous spar also, and
cale sinter, occur abundantly; and I have seen small
specimens of white granular limestone. ‘These are
found attached to the common calcareous rock,
and, like the spar, have been deposited in acci-
dental cavities at a comparatively recent period.
The whole of the calcareous portion of the island
presents numerous rents and fissures ; the smaller
are filled with chrystallized and other modifications
of carbonate of lime; the larger remain open, and
are the deep precipitous ravines, or gullies, which
are so very frequent in the higher parts of this
district, and which become during the rainy season
the conducting channels of temporary torrents.
This calcareous formation is extremely cavernous;
dislocations, and sinking of the surface, occasionally
take place at the present time, and from general
appearances, we must conclude that they happened
very frequently, and to a considerable extent, at
former periods. It is to this cause that the island
is plentifully supplied with fissures, through which
the water lodged on the surface is drawn off,
and conducted to the ocean by means of subter-

ranean channels; and from this cause, together
with the breaking away of the face of the ridges,
has arisen the precipitous mural cliffs, so common
on the coast, and in the interior of the calcareous
or coralline district.

The hilly portion, or that part of the island which
has been denominated Scotland, and Below the Cliff,
is principally composed of mineral substances
belonging to the clay genus; particularly loam,
potter’s clay, and slate clay. There is also found
here a fine-grained friable brown sandstone, which
is for the most part micaceous; and beds of very
loosely cohering black sandstone: also Gypsum, in
fragments, crystals, and distinct concretions, from
a very small size to such as weigh several ounces,
disseminated through beds of sandy clay : and there
occur, imbedded in the same, or scattered on the
surface, fragments of ferruginous conglomerate, and
of quartzy sandstone, and balls of flint and iron
flint: also a variety of other ores of iron, such as clay
ironstone, compact black ironstone, compact and
ochery brown ironstone, and the like. I have here
seen in a hill, from the white appearance of its
broken cliffs, termed CuaLkey Mount, a bed of
porphyritic slate, or clinkstone porphyry, about
eighteen inches in thickness, lying between beds
of very loosely cohering sandstone, and dipping to
the N. E. at an angle of 30°: also a bed, a few
inches thick, composed of alternate lamine of

fuller’s earth, and yellow earth. Beds of bituminous
shale are frequent, and petroleum or mineral oil,
and asphaltum are more or less abundant. The
mineral oil exudes from the base of clay hills, and
is collected on the surface of natural or artificial
reservoirs of water; or it is found penetrating the
substance of sandy rocks. In the island it is gene-
rally known by the appellation of Green Tar, and
in England by that of Barbados Tar.*

* It may be proper to add a few words relative to the general
application of this tar in Barbados. It is principally there used
instead of other oils, for burning, and painting the roofs of out-
buildings; and it is freely and beneficially employed as a
medicine internally, and externally for horses, and horned
cattle, As a remedy against the diseases of man its reputation
has greatly fluctuated, which is readily accounted for by the
fact, that at different times it bas had the character of being
efficacious in the cure of such diseases as cancer, pulmonary
consumption, the lepra Arabum or elephantiasis, and tetanus.
It is in this latter most dreadful, and frequently fatal affection,
that, during a long practice, I have had most opportunity of
seeing it employed. It may seem foreign to my present purpose
to state that tetanus is decidedly epidemic in Barbados; yet I
am so fully convinced that this is the fact, and that a knowledge
of it will materially affect the result of surgical operations
in the West-Indies, that I will not omit to remark it in this
place: the more particularly as I have not seen it mentioned
in any books, although I cannot suppose that it has escaped
the observation of those practitioners, who have had exten-
sive opportunities of seeing the disease. In the cure of tetanus
the mineral oil, externally employed, is at least equal to

The clay, which is plentifully distributed through
the hilly district, is not very pure, being generally
charged with iron, bituminous, or calcareous mat-
ter; but in most places it answers sufficiently well
for the manufacture of coarse ware and bricks,
and accordingly there are several pot-kilns in the
parishes of St. John, St. Joseph, and St. Andrew.
Furnaces are here frequently constructed of un-
burnt bricks, the cement on such occasions being a

can say nothing decisive; for in an affection so frequently, and
so quickly fatal, I have never been induced, for the purpose of an
experiment, to trust to a remedy, the powers of which are not
fully ascertained ; and as the means, with which it was associated,
were of the most active kind, and employed with the boldness
called for by the danger of the patient, it would be quite pro-
blematical to conjecture how much of the benefit was to be
attributed to the oil, in those cases which have recovered, and
in which it was used, The medicinal qualities of the mineral
oil, or Green Tar, are externally stimulant, internally aperient,
diaphoretic, and diuretic. It might be employed, with much
promise of advantage, in several diseases of a chronic nature,
both internally and externally, particularly in conjunction with
medicated baths. Its disagreeable appearance has, however,
kept it out of general use; but this may, in a great degree, be
surmounted by pharmaceutical preparation ; and it is certainly
desirable that it should be submitted to the test of unprejudiced
experiment, that its medicinal virtues may be fully, and accu-
rately ascertained. Its sensible qualities are conspicuous, and
it deserves a trial in those cases, to which it seems applicable ;
the more especially, as some of them do not readily yield to
the means at present in general use.

paste of the same kind of clay as that of which the
bricks are made. Upon the application of heat, the
whole becomes consolidated into one mass; and fur-
naces of this description, if the bricks be previously
well cured by exposure to the air, will last many
years, although subjected to the very strong fires
employed in the manufacture of sugar.

Masses of the calcareous formation, some of
considerable magnitude, are to be seen in Scot-
LAND. ‘These are either projections from the high
ridges, which have never been covered by the clay
formation; or they are rolled fragments, of which
there is an endless number. Some of these are at
a great distance from their original situation, to
which, however, they can generally be traced. I
have diligently searched for the remains of animal
or vegetable substances, but have never been able
to find any in the minerals of this district.

I cannot omit taking notice in this place of an
extinguished pseudo-voleanic hill, situate on the
windward coast, in one of the estates belonging to
the Society for the propagation of Christian know-
ledge. It is to this day very properly denominated
the Burnt Hill, and is mentioned by Hughes, as
having been accidentally set cn fire by a slave, and
as having continued to burn for the space of five
years, It consists entirely of highly burnt clay,
and earth slag; and the neighbourhood abounds
in bituminous shale, and mineral oil.

i. INTRODUCTORY ESSAY.

The natural superficial springs of Barbados are
not very numerous. The inhabitants of the flat
country are supplied with water principally from
wells, which are frequently of very considerable
depth, sunk entirely through the coralline rock; .
but running streams are abundant in the hilly
district, in which occur several saline, and chaly-
beate springs. ‘There is also a spring in Scotland,
called the Burning Spring, which generally attracts
the notice of the traveller. This little streamlet
rises in a deep sequestered ravine, at the foot of
a hill richly clothed with timber; and on its first
appearance forms for itself a little basin, in which
the water is in a continued state of ebullition, from
the passage of inflammable gas through it. This
readily inflaming on the application of a lighted
taper, gives to the spring its characteristic appel-
lation. The gas does not, indeed, rise in great
quantity, but the scenery in the approach to the
spot is beautiful and imposing; and one can hardly
view it without fancying what might have been its
celebrity, and importance, had it been known to a
people prone to attach superstitious veneration to
unusual phenomena.

The saline springs make their appearance at an
inconsiderable height above the level of the sea,
through the sides, and very near the base of clay
hills, abounding in gypsum; and it is quite evident
that the saline beds, over which they flow, and from

INTRODUCTORY ESSAY. Is

which they derive their impregnation, are subjacent
to those minerals which appear as the external
crust of Scornanp. The waters have not been
carefully analyzed: in taste, and other qualities,
they resemble those of Cheltenham, and they are
occasionally employed with effect to answer the
same medicinal purposes.

From what has been said, it will appear that
the great mass of the island consists of calcareous
matter combined with carbonic acid; but that the
hilly district is composed principally of argil, or
of argil and silex, frequently blended with ferru-
ginous or bituminous matter, and containing frag-
ments of rocks of apparently much older formation.
After careful inspection, Iam quite satisfied that
the argillaceous substances rest on the calcareous
or coralline mass, which constitutes the exterior
crust of the greater part of the island.

It cannot be doubted that the caleareous forma-
tion, which has so frequently been mentioned, has
originated in the submarine operations of insects
belonging to the order of Zoophytes; and that the
various modifications of carbonate of lime, by _
which the corallines are cemented, have been de-
rived from these substances acted on by water.
This island, which was once undeniably under the
surface of the ocean, now rises considerably above
it, the coralline rock, of which its highest elevation
consists, reaching between eleven and twelve hun-

14 INTRODUCTORY ESSAY.

dred feet above the level of the sea; and forming
one of the many indubitable proofs, some found at
very high elevations, that the dry land of our pre-
sent habitable world has once been under the surface
of the ocean—that the land has been elevated, or
the waters have subsided. Although it is interest-
ing to inquire how far one, or both of these causes
may have operated in far remote ages, it is en-
tirely foreign to my present object to enter into
the wide field of inquiry, to which such phenomena
would lead. I would rather call the attention of
Geologists to the following points.

The first is the high elevation, which the coralline
aggregate attains in Barbados; and the fact, that in
many situations precipitous walls are exposed of
considerably more than one hundred feet in per-
pendicular height, entirely composed of coral.
How are these circumstances to be reconciled to
the position of French, and indeed of English,
naturalists, that tmadrepores, in the formation of
coral rocks, do not commence their labours at
greater depths than twenty-five or thirty feet below
the surface of the sea; resting their habitations on
the summit of submarine rocks, bringing them
nearer to the surface, but not forming them entirely
from the bottom of the ocean? I question not
the fact that these polypi commence their opera-
tions on previously existing rocky summits; nor
do I doubt that the nucleus, on which they have

INTRODUCTORY ESSAY. 15

rested their labours in forming the external crust
of the greater part of Barbados, is a lower eleva-
tion of the same primary rock, which appears as
mountains in some of the other islands. But if the
range of action of the madreporse, &c. be limited
to twenty-five or thirty feet, in what manner has
the coralline crust been formed of so much greater
thickness in Barbados? That it is of greater thick-
ness is quite certain; for the formation extends
uninterruptedly for many miles, intersected in
every direction by deep ravines or gullies, the
precipitous walls of which are exposed to a much
greater depth than twenty-five or thirty feet.
Whether we assume that the land has been ele-
vated, or that the waters have subsided, this fact
appears to me at variance, and indeed irrecon-
cileable, with the position laid down by M. M. Quoi
and Gaimard; for if the range of action of the
submarine zoophites be circumscribed, as stated
by these naturalists and others, no supposed ele-
vation, no tilt or dislocation of the coralline mass,
can in any way account for the phenomena, which
in numberless places present themselves to obser-
vation in Barbados.

I would next observe, that the argillaceous mine-
rals are constantly superimposed on the calcareous,
into which they pass abruptly. Also that the
argillaceous minerals are found only on the North-
Eastern portion of the island, in a deep hollow,

16 INTRODUCTORY ESSAY.

protected to the West, North-West, and South-
West, by high ridges of coralline structure; and
that they are every where to be found on the
North-eastern coast, extending more or less into
the body of the island, according to the depth of
the indentations of the coast; and attaining ele-
vations proportioned to the height of the coral
ridges against which they rest. To illustrate the
latter part of this statement, I will instance only a
single example to be found at Skeet’s Bay, on the
North-East of the TuickrTs, where, notwithstand-
ing the land is low, the minerals of Scotland, clay
and gypsum, are thrown up against the calcareous
cliffs ; but immediately round the point, these are
wanting, and the South-eastern coast appears ex-
posed precipitous, and undermined by the waters
of the ocean.

This disposition of the argillaceous minerals
seems to me to indicate that they were deposited
in their present situation after the coral rock, on
which they lie, had attained its present elevation ;
and the occurrence of saline springs in this part of
the island rather confirms me in this opinion.
The argillaceous deposition of Scotland, I there-
fore think should be referred to the rising of the
waters of the ocean, at some period subsequent to
the formation of the coral; and should be con-
sidered as of diluvial origin; a view of the subject
well according with the appearance of petroleum,

La

and the spiracle of inflammable air. It is also
apparent, that these must have been deposited
under the influence of a current setting from a
North-East point, which, while it furnished the
argillaceous and other materials to be accumulated
in the protected hollow and similar situations,
would wash freely down the inclined surface of the
other parts of the island the loose substances, which
may antecedently have been collected thereon. It
is scarcely necessary to add, that a current setting
from the North-East at present exists, and is exten-
sively influential ; for being stopped in its progress
by the Isthmus of Darien, it is reflected through the
Gulf of Mexico, and passing between the shores of
Florida and the Bahama bank, it constitutes the
gulf stream, which so powerfully affects the navi-
gation of the Atlantic. This current being depen-
dent on the North-easterly trade wind, must have
been coeval with the present direction of our terres-
trial poles; but for the transportation and depo-
sition of the substances forming Scotland, it would
seem necessary that its force should have been
increased by causes, which may be presumed to
have operated during such a catastrophe as the
tumultuous rising of the waters of a deluge.

In what manner the inequalities under the ocean,
one eminence of which constitutes the foundation
of Barbados, were produced, I do not contemplate
in this place inquiring; neither shall I attempt to

D

decide the question, whether after the coral was
formed, the waters subsided or the rock was
elevated. The solution of this problem must form
a part of a general theory, and is left for those,
who, from extensive acquaintance with geological
facts, may be sufficiently qualified for the task of
generalization.

* The leaves of the Rock Balsam are in general smaller and
more pointed than those of the “ Piper longum humilius” of
Sloane, which are represented as being “ four inches long and
two broad;” but Sloane observes, “ there is a variety of this
with smaller and more pointed leaves, which I gathered in
Barbadoes,” “on rocky ground.” The leaves of this kind of
Piper vary much in Barbados in size and form: they occur not
only round-pointed, as represented in Plumier’s plate, but even
a little emarginate, as remarked by Sloane.

following authority in the quotation of synonyms. Sloane’s plate
ofa grass with four spikes disposed crosswise would, indeed, be
avery bad representation of Chloris radiata, with very many

fascicled spikes, had it ever been intended asa figure of that grass,

and of Poa ciliaris,’ in which he has been followed by Miller

| his recent edition of the Species Plantarum. ‘The error seems
1 to have originated in Browne having identified this Gramen
of Sloane with his Briza. Even in the recent work, now in

the copying of synonyms, The Gramen pratense of Sloane is
certainly an Agrostis; and is recognized as such by Swartz,

* Sloane informs us, that this grass takes its familiar name
“ from that part of Barbados called Scotland,” from which place
it was transported into Jamaica, The Scotch grass of Jamaica
is different from the grass bearing that name in Barbados, If
the references above given on the authority of Willdenow, Roe-
mer, Swartz, Martyn, &c. to Sloane and Browne be correct, the
Scotch grass of Jamaica is identical with the Pagister grass of
Barbados.

cannot be confounded with this gramen. It is most probable
that Sloane and Browne applied the vernacular name, Dutch
Grass, to the, same plant, and Sloane’s description applies very
perfectly to the Dutch Grass of Barbados, Browne’s description
is unusually imperfect ; as far however as it goes, it corresponds
very well with Cynosurus indicus; and, for the reasons stated, I
have no doubt his “ Gramen Majus Culmo Compresso” and Cy-
nosurus Indicus are identical.

ment in apparent opposition to Willdenow (1. p. 616), who de-
scribes the inflorescence—“ Panicule axillares terminalesque fo-
liosee composite strictee. Flores albi.’” The flowers, when full
blown, are indeed white, but the panicle of half-blown flowers
is. greenish yellow. This plant commonly goes by the name
Spirit Weed, as does also the Aégiphila elata, the general ap-
pearance of which is very similar.

* The reference in Browne to ¢. 3. f. 3. for a representation of
his Knoxia scandens, No. 2. p. 140. is unquestionably wrong;
and should have been to t. 3. f. 2. The Lygistum flexile fruti-
cosum is very evidently represented in ¢. 3. f. 3. and not in @. 3.
J. 2. as erroneously stated. Of this there can be no doubt, after
comparing the very full description of the parts of fructification
of Lygistum flexile fruticosum with the representations in ¢. 3.
This unfortunate error, perhaps only of the engraver, has been
productive of much confusion. Willdenow gives Browne’s
* Knoxia scandens foliis cordato-ovatis,” as a synonym to Atgi-
phila elata “ foliis elliptico-acuminatis ;’ and he has also fallen
into error under the head Manettia Lygistum, which he identifies
with Lygistum flexile fruticosam. Now, of the Manettia Lygis-
tum, Willdenow, after Swartz, states ‘“ Pedunculi axillares se-
pius gemini uniflori. Calyx octophylus” and the character of

oceiden- _B. foliis lanceolatis. JVilld. Sp. Pl. 1.

the genus Manettia is “ Calyx octophyllus superus.” Browne,
however, describes the calyx of Lygistum as “ monophyllus
conico-campanulatus ore quadricrenato,” and the seed vessel as
“calyci imposita ;” and the “twigs or boughs” as “ furnished
with moderate bunches of flowers towards the top.” It is, there-
fore, quite evident that the Lygistum of Browne cannot be the
Manettia of Willdenow and Swartz: nor is it less certain that
it should be assumed as a synonym to Augiphila elata to the
exclusion of Knoxia scandens. The want of accordance between
Browne’s description and the plate referred to did not escape
Swartz, but he did not trace the error to its source, and could not
correct it. Speaking of Aigiphila elata, he says, “ Folia ovato-
cordata descripit Browne, elliptico-lanceolata tamen illa deli-
neari curavit.”—(Swiz. £1, 255),

* The plant described by Sloane and Browne, beyond doubt
the species of Ammannia growing in Barbados, hardly deserves
the epithet latifolia, even in reference to the other species.

; De Candolle places this species in the tetrapetalous subdi-
vision of the genus, but questions “an potius apetala?” The
flower ic certainly apetalous, and greatly resembles that of
A. wgyptiaca, represented in Willd, Hort. Berolinensis, from
which this species is principally to be distinguished by the base
of the leaf.

Argyreia bona-nox, is certainly much more characteristic.

* | would not be understood to insist that the Solanum Des-.
vauxii is not a distinct species, only that its characters have not
as yet been sufficiently marked to separate it specifically from
Solanum nigrum. They are both described with unarmed,
herbaceous stems, and small, round, black berries; the only mark
of distinction pointed out being in the leaves, and that by no
means a strong one. In Solanum Desvauxii. Ham. these are
“ ovato-lanceolatis integerrimis subrepandis;” in 8S. nigrum,
Willd. “ ovatis dentato-angulatis.” The plant I have seen in

* Lentirely adopt the opinion of Loureiro, that the species
Melongena and insanum are not specifically distinct. In the
definitions given by Willdenow the aculeated stem and calyx of
S. insanum is the only distinguishing character. It cannot how-
ever be admitted as such. In the Gardener’s Dictionary the
Melongena is represented as having a calyx “ armed with very
strong prickles on the outside ;” and one variety as also having
“the stalk and leaves armed with very strong thorns.” Mr,
Miller adds, that in the same garden, and from the same seeds,
he has raised plants, some with and some without prickles, a
fact confirmed by Loureiro—‘ Solanum insanum non est specie
diversum a Melongena; sequidem aculeos illius, per quos vide-
batur distingui, ego seepe observavi in ista ex iisdem seminibus
et in eodem horto nata.’—Lour. Hh, Cochin, 130,

made an erroneous reference to Sloane for a plate of the Bird

Lady of the Night.*

* It is impossible to doubt the identity of the Lady of the
Night of Barbados with the Cestrum nocturnum , yet the defi-
nition given by Willdenow, Aiton, and others, of C. vespertinum,
ie. “CG, filimentis edentatis, tubo filiformi, pedunculis brevis-
simis,” is more descriptive of this “ night-smelling Cestrum”
than that affixed to C. nocturnum, which represents it “ pedun-
culis subracemosis folio wquantibus.” Martyn, between his
respect for authority and his personal experience, has fallen into
a strange inconsistency. He follows the definition of Linnveus,
« peduncles subracemed, equal to the leaf ;’’ yet he describes
the leaves and inflorescence as he actually saw them: the leaves
as “near four inches long,” and the flowers as “ standing on
short peduncles.” Those peduncles cannot surely be short,
which are equal to a leaf near four inches long.—See Gard.

Brown describes the berries of his Achras 201. ¢ 17. f. 4.
which is the B. salicifolia of Willdenow, as “ black, smooth,
and very small.” Catesby and Jacquin represent the fruit of
their tree as yellow, ‘and of the size of a nutmeg.” It is,
therefore, impossible that their tree should be identical with
Browne’s. Swartz says nothing of the colour of the fruit of
B. salicifolia, but simply, ‘‘ drupa parva, oblonga, extus succosa,
ssepe disperma.” The synonyms in question have been removed
to Sideroxylon Mastichodendron of Sprengel’s Systema, to which
they seem unequivocally to belong.

it marked as Agave americana in the Botanic Garden at
Geneva, which is under the immediate superintendence of M.
De Candolle,

* Inthe Agave americana the seeds vegetate, and the young
plants grow to be several inches long before they are separated
from the parent stem, so that it is as strictly viviparous as this
species, which has been distinguished specifically by the appel-
lation vivipara. The A. americana is very generally called
Silk-Grass in Barbados, and is the species principally planted as
hedges: the A. vivipara being mostly found in gullies, and
of accidental growth.

* The definition of Pancratium caribeeum in the species Plan-
tarum is peculiarly imperfect; and I question its claims to be
received as a species distinct from P. fragrans. ‘The Jamaica
plant, mentioned by Browne and Sloane, is doubtless identical
with the Barbados plant, so carefully examined, and so fully
described, by Mr. Salisbury, in the Transactions of the Linnean
Society. Contrary however to the terms of Mr. Salisbury’s
definition, the sinus of the nectary is, according to my observa-

tion, generally furnished with teeth, which are frequently bifid.

The Editor of the Botanical Magazine observes, ‘ little stress in
specific distinction can be laid on the sinus of the crown being
entire or toothleted, as we have frequently seen them vary infi-
nitely in the same plant.” In accordance with this statement,
and my own observation, I have taken upon me to alter Mr.

Salisbury’s definition.

* The Bamboo flowered for the first time in Barbados about
seven or eight years since, having been introduced into the
island nearly half a century previously, and extensively propa-
gated by cuttings of the stem. The year was generally dry,
and the period of flowering particularly so; but the plants which
flowered were in an elevated situation, not far from Mount Hil-
laby, and in a cool and moist spot, termed Pory’s Spring. The
plants, although of considerable growth, were by no means the
oldest in the island, the first planted roots being at an estate
situate it the valley.

* J will not be certain that the sickly exotic, now and then
found in Barbados, under the name, Cinnamon Tree, is really
the plant producing the true cinnamon. The similitude between
the L. Cinnamomum and L, Cassia is so great, that they have by
many been considered as varieties, although it seems to be at
present settled by good authority that they are distinct species.

error in describing the seed vessel as “ flat, broad,” it being
more correctly represented by Hughes as “ five inch long,
brownish, round pods.”’ Sloane’s plate, above referred to, affords
a good representation of the lomentum, In this plate the
leaflets all appear emarginate; in Hughes’s plate they are simply
rounded or slightly mucronate. In the same plant I have seen
all these varieties; but although the leaf is generally emarginate,
it is seldom so much so as in Sloane’s plate. In the definition
of this species, M. De Candolle has with his usual precision em-
ployed the term subemarginate.

* Willdenow questions whether the Hyperanthera decandra,
“ Jeguminibus suboctogonis,’ be a species distinct from H.
Moringa, “ leguminibus trigonis.” De Candolle also doubts
whether the Moringa polygona be not a variety of M. ptery-
gosperma, On this subject I would remark, that the seed
vessel, in its green state, is either subhexangular or suboctan-
gular; when dry, either triangular or quadrangular. This vari-
ation occurs not only on different plants, but also on the same
plant; and I have frequently seen on the same common peduncle
the legumen triangular and trivalved, and quadrangular qua-
drivalved. After repeated and diligent search, I have however
never been able to find a single flower decandrous in Barbados,
five of the ten stamens being always imperfect. On this ground,
unless the observations of others shall prove that I have been

unfortunate in the objects of my examination, I think the species
in question must be kept distinct. I have thought it necessary
not only to correct the definition of M. De Candolle as regards
the legumen, but also to insert the semidecandrous character of
the flower, as affording an additional, and necessary specific
distinction.

* This plate very well represents the raceme of flowers; but
the foliage is not good: and the figure of the legumen or pod is
altogether an error.

cum staminibus octo.”—Collect. 3. p. 177. The most general
character of the flower is certainly tripetalous hexandrous; but
I have seen on the same plant, flowers 3—petaled 6—androus,
4—petaled 6—androus, 4——petaled 7—androus, 4—petaled
8—androus, and 5—petaled 6—androus; but even on this
plant the 3—petaled 6—androus flowers greatly prevailed, and
this is to be considered as the general character of the flower,
and agrees perfectly with that assigned to the genus by De
Candolle—“ Flores proportione partium ternaria.”

* In differing from so great authority as M, De Candolle, by
making the Bay-Berry of Hughes a synonym to Myrcia acris, and
not to Eugenia Pimenta, to which it indeed has a near resem-
blance, I may be allowed to suspect that his mistake may have
arisen from EHughes having stated of his Bay-berry Tree that
“its berries are well known by the name of Jamaica pepper ”;
whereas the true Pimento, Jamaica pepper, or Allspice is no
part of the produce of Barbados; the Eugenia Pimenta being a
rare exotic, cultivated only by a few who are curious in plants;
nor could the berries of the Barbados Bay-Berry be passed in
commerce as Pimenta. Of Eugenia Pimenta, De Candolle says
“acca globosa 1—sperma.” The Bay-Berry of Hughes is
oblong, and generaily four-seeded, agreeing with the description
given by Swartz of Myrtus acris, “ bacea oblonga 2—4 sperma,”
The berry of the Eugenia Pimenta, however, also varies much
in the number of its seeds.

others with E. malaccensis, but which is considered by De Can-
dolle as a distinct species, as follows: Caro ejus est succosa
grata et tam jucunde spirans, ac si in aqua rosarum foret infusa,
cujus sapor ex dulei et acido adeo grate mixtus est, ac si
pomum esset cum aqua rosarum mixtum.’’—Herb. Amb. 1.
p. 121, This description seems sufficiently applicable to the
Rose-Apple of Barbados, but the fruit is oblong. Of the Jam-
bosa sylvestris alba, he adds, “hujus fructus substantia durior
est quam domesticae Jambose, neque ita succosa, sapore caterum
conveniens sed paulo magis fatua.’’—ZZerb, Amb, 1. p. 128. This

i description and the plate of Jambosa sylvestris alba identify
1 it with the Rose-Apple, and I unhesitatingly follow De Candolle
in assigning it as a synonym to Jambosa macrophylla. ‘The Ma-
lacca Schambu of Rheede would seem to apply to this species
rather than to the Jambosa vulgaris, De Cand. “ racemis cymosis
terminalibus.’”

* Tam not certain that the Black Cherry Tree, Hughes. 159,
be distinct from his Stopper-Berry Tree, the fruit of which is
often called Black Cherries, from their resemblance to the Eu-
ropean fruit of the same name, If it be distinct, it is probably
the Cerasus occidentalis, De Cand. Of the fruit of this tree
Swartz observes, ‘ drupa ovalis pulposa monosperma, matura
nigra.” ‘Jamaicensibus Prune Tree.”’—Fl. 925. A comparison
of the above description, with the representation in Catesby
(Car. 2. t. 94.) would, I think, ind‘cate that the trees respectively

described by these authors cannot be identical, although M. De
Candolle, under the head Cerasus occidentalis, refers, doubtingly
however, to this plate of Catesby—My notes of the Stopper-
Berry Tree are, I am sorry to find, not quite so complete as I \

could have wished. |

* « This is the most favorite genus of the whole vegetable
kingdom, on account of its beauty and fragrance; but one most
difficult with respect to the determination of its species.”—Sm.
Engl. Fl. sub. verb. The difficulties alluded to by this very able
botanist have, lam afraid, not been yet successfully encountered ;
I have therefore been less solicitous to follow the alterations
recently made in the arrangement of species and varieties, A
few species introduced into Barbados from America, a short time
before 1 quitted the island, have not been inserted, as I had no

opportunity of examining them,

* I cannot say that I know the Red Willow of Hughes, p. 196.
as distinct from his Black Willow. If they be really different,
and the Capparis ferruginea be growing’in Barbados, it would
doubtless be the Red Willow; but I have never seen this species
in the island, nor the Capparis longifolia, the habitat of which
latter is especially fixed by De Candolle in Barbados. The
C. torulosa is generally known as the Black Willow, but I have |
frequently also heard that name applied to the C, Breynia. |

Previously to seeing the definition of M. De Candolle, and with
the view of ascertaining where the erfor indicated by the above
incongruity lay, | examined a great many flowers, and always
found the number of stamens to be sixteen.

* This plant, although commonly called Prickly Duranta, is
not always found so, Browne describes it ‘ quandoque spinosa,”
although in his plate he represents it with thorns; and, accord-
ing to Willdenow, “ variat caule spinoso et inermi, foliis serratis
et integerrimis.” The Duranta in Barbados more commonly
occurs unarmed, and with a leaf quite entire; but I have seen
it with pretty long thorns, which are hardened flower stalks, and
on the same plant leaves entire and serrate. The Duranta
Ellisia is exhibited in the Bot. Mag. with spines and a serrated
leaf, and is certainly less like the Duranta as it occurs in Bar-
bados than the plate in Bot. Reg. of Duranta Plumieri. I cannot,
however, persuade myself that D. Ellisia and D, Plumieri are

distinet species.

* « The flowers are quite scentless, nor have we observed
any fragrance in any part of the plant.” ‘Perhaps the heat of
a tropical ‘sun is necessary to bring forth its odour.”—Simes in
the Bot. Mag. ‘The odour is certainly not elicited by the
great heat sometimes prevailing in Barbados, and the stem is not
simply scandent, but twining. For these reasons the specific
appellation should be changed from fragrans to volubilis.

* De Candolle has introduced two species of the Tamarindus,
founded on the length of the pod, and the number of its
seeds, In this 1 cannot follow him, as I have seen the seed-
vessel to vary very much in length and number of seeds on the
same tree. On the West-Indian Tamarind Tree I have com-
monly seen the pod, or lomentiform fruit, fully six times as long
as broad, and the seeds more than four in number, although, per-
haps, never twelve. Itis sometimes single seeded, and nearly

round.

* There is certainly no tree in Barbados that bears for its
fruit a “long cylindrical ear, not ill resembling a large mould-
candle, round which stalk the grains (of corn) are disposed,”
as stated by Hughes, From his general description, however, of
the corn tree, and from his account of the period of its introduc-
tion into the island, I have little doubt of his meaning what is
now generally termed the Baobab, or Monkies’ Bread-fruit Tree.

* « Hibiscus hirtus hujus solummodo varietas, quee forte a sola
cultura dependet.”—Lin. Suppl. 310. The plate of Hibiscus
phoeniceus of Cavanilles (¢. 67. f. 2.) is by no means so charac-
racteristic of the Barbados plant as that of H. hirtus, referred to
above. The small Hibiscus so common in the gardens is the @.

’ variety of De Candolle, the characters of which should rather,
I think, be considered as marking a distinct species.

* « Euphorbia, placed by Linnaeus in the class Dodecandria, is
now understood by Jussieu (Gen. Pl.) and Brown (Terr. Ausir.)
to have separated flowers, conformably to the general character
of its natural order. What Linnzeus and others have taken for
stamens appear to be distinct monandrous barren flowers ;”’
“consequently Euphorbia is to be removed to Monoscia Monan-
dria.’—Sm. Engl. Fl. 2. p. 349. See also Gram. of Bot. p. 185.
The successive manner in which the supposed stamens are
evolved isa strong argument in favour of their being flowers ;
and I have had no hesitation in adopting the above arrangement.

* This shrubby tree generally goes by the name of the Indian
Rubber in Barbados, but the appellation is also applied to the
Ficus elastica, lately introduced into the island, and at present a
rare exotic. I cannot be confident that I am right in making it
identical with the E, atropurpurea of Sprengel. By altogether
excluding from his plan a reference to authors, Sprengel has
greatly increased the difficulty of recognising his species, and

thereby circumscribed the usefulness of his work.

+ I have excluded Browne’s synonyme, admitted by Willde-
now, as it undoubtedly must belong to some other species,
Sloane’s Tithymalus is certainly the Barbados plant in question.
He describés it as having “one red stalk dividing itself into
several green round branches, rising ten inches high.” This

must surely be different from Browne’s Euphorbia minima
reclinata— a slender, weakly creeper, which seldom rises above
three or four inches from the root,” I should almost doubt
Sloane’s Tithymalus being identical with Euphorbia hypericifolia,
had he not given a plate of it; for a plant, “ floribus ad caulium
nodos conglomeratis,” very ill accords with the “ corymbis ter-
minalibus” of the definition of this species ; nor does it, indeed,
accord with the character of the inflorescence represented in the

plate.

flattened at the ends, and furrowed to correspond with the drupe,

rity of Sloane and Browne. The leaf of the Arum Colocasia
is peltated ; that of the roasting Eddoe is not. Mr. Miller consi--
dered the A, peregrinum as the species “ most commonly culti-
vated in the West Indies, under the name of Edder.’ [am
confident that the Arum peregrinum, and the A, macrorhizon
are not distinct species, but are both identical with the Arum
max. &c. of Hermannus. The definition therefore of Arum
macrorhizon, representing the plant with a peltated leaf, in
opposition to Hermannus from whom the specific title is taken,
Should be excluded; the two species in question should be con-
sidered as one, the title macrorhizon adopted, and the species
thus arranged be carried to the genus Caladium, to which it
undoubtedly belongs.

* Browne is certainly in error; making his Arum, No. 7, the
Same as Sloane’s A. Nymphew foliis, which is properly recog-
nised by Willdenow as Caladium esculentum (Arum esculentum),
and which [ have no doubt is Browne’s Arum, No, 6.

* Browne considers his Arum, No. 8. as the plant described
by Sloane, as Arum minus esculentum; and in this he has been
followed by Willdenow. Nevertheless they are distinct, Browne
describes his Arum as edible only as a green; Sloane says
“the roots are boiled, and taste musked or sweet.’ Sloane’s
plant is the Nut Eddoe of Barbados, the roots of which are so
conspicuous and valuable as food, that in this light they could
not have escaped the notice of Browne. The Nut Eddoe, as
already stated, is the Arum, No. 4. of Browne.

¥ This plant is certainly not a Caladium, The male flowers
are not disposed at the top of the spadix, agreeably to the
generic character of Caladium; but the spadix ends ina 1—3
inch long nudate process, It is therefore generically distinct
from Mr. Brown’s Caladium acre, which is undoubtedly a Cala-
dium, That profound botanist had an opportunity of seeing
the fructification, and represents it in these words, ‘“ spadice
usque ad apicem obtusiusculum antherifero mucronulove brevis-
simo nndo.”—Prod. 192.

t I do not exactly perceive how the Arum Colocasia is to be
distinguished from the above Arum —Sce Brown. Prod, 192.

I am inclined to think that these two species, as they stand in
Willdenow, are in fact only one; to which, whether it be
termed Colocasia or esculentum, apply both the plates of Rum-
phius, ¢. 109, and #,110.f.1. Much confusion has arisen from
the relative terms, minus, majus, and maximum, employed by the
older authors; and both the genus Arum.and Caladium require
much revision to ascertain the limits of each, and the appro-
priate synonyms of the species.

Hughes observes, “ the oil extracted from the berries (seeds) of

and uncertain in its operation; and it is greatly to be desired
that the oil employed in medicine—a most excellent article when

however fruitless to expect this, so long as the preparation is
made abroad, and is in the hands of uninformed persons, who
do not think it of importance to select the seeds from a particular
species. It is, moreover, certain that the unprincipled do
not hesitate to mix with the Ricinus seeds, those obtained from
other oleaginous plants, such as species of the Jatropha, Croton,
&c. which abound in warm climates. This will account for the

* Long justly states the Barbados and Jamaica Cabbage Trees
to be only accidental varieties. Browne represents them as
specifically distinct. Hughes, p. 111. mentions a small Cabbage
Tree, which he thinks different from that generally growing in
Barbados, and noticed at p. 107. of his history. “+ This,” he says,
“even at its greatest growth, is less than the Cabbage Tree
already described, having likewise the green part near the top
much less in proportion to its bulk.” This I believe to be only
the Areca oleracea impeded in its growth by sterility of soil, or by
being crowded by other trees,

“ I cannot identify the Silver Wood Tree with any known
species, nor are my notes sufficient to enable me to ascertain the
natural order to which it should be referred. It would seem to
belong to the genus Koolera; but differs from K. laurifolia, in
having an unarmed trunk, and a serrated leaf. It is a large and
elegant tree, growing in the neighbourhood of Joes River.

adopting the above synonym even without the authority of Swartz,
from which however I derive additional confidence. I have felt
obliged to exclude the synonym from Browne admitted in the

Sloane’s Palma spinosa minor, refer to the small Macaw

# Mr. Sweet considers the Ficus nitida of the Exotic Flora
as a distinct species, under the title F. Hookeri. I had the
satisfaction of conversing with him on this subject; and |
readily admit that the F. nitida, represented in the Exotic
Flora, must, from the figure and definition there given, be con-
sidered as a species distinct from the F. nitida of Roemer. Yet
itis said, that the plant from which Dr. Hooker’s plate’ was
taken was brought from the West-Indies; and in some respects
it is exceedingly like the Garden Mangrove of Barbados. The
dissimilarity is principally in the form of the leaf, which seems
to have varied very much even on the specimen from which the
drawing was taken. The colour of the leaf is also much paler, and
the disposition to be 3-nerved is not exhibited. These points of
difference may in a great degree be accounted for from the ori-
ginal of Dr. Hooker’s plate having been a hot-house exotic;
and I am therefore induced to pause before admitting the F.
Hookeri as a distinct species.

¥ The F, pertusa of Willdenow, Aiton, and Sprengel, “ re-
ceptaculis globosis sessilibus,” cannot be the same species as the
F. pertusa of Roemer, “receptaculis globosis pedunculatis.”
The pertusa of Willdenow seems to be the same as the nitida of
Roemer, and both identical with the Itti Arealou of Rheede and
the Garden Mangrove of Hughes, This species of Ficus, although
very common in Barbados, is seldom or never of accidental growth,
being propagated principally from layers or cuttings of the stem,
very rarely from the seed, and planted in the neighbourhood of
dwelling-houses on account of its great beanty and evergreen
