The vegetation of the Canary Islands presents some strange anomalies, not the least interesting of which is the pine (Pinus canariensis, Ch. Smith) associated with the Date palm

523. Dragon Tree in a garden at Santa Cruz, Teneriffe
The thick protuberances below the point where the branches are given off are air-roots; they are represented natural size in 507. See the description of 511

500. A group of Palms in Mahe, Seychelles
It is not evident what Palm this is, which grows near the coast-perhaps Dictyosperma alba, Wendl

499. A Tripod Cocoanut, Mahe, Seychelles
The hut is made of the plaited leaves of the cocoanut and roofed with the same in the natural state. In an early state the ovary of the future fruit of the cocoanut is three-celled

495. Screw-Pines, Palms and Ferns, from path near Venns Town, M
The Screw Pine (Pandanus sechellarum, Balf. f.) on the left is the same species as that in 480, and exhibits perhaps the maximum intensity of aerial root-formation

494. Foliage, Flowers, and Fruit of the Tatamaka, Praslin
Among big trees growing on the shores of the Mascarene Islands, tropical Asia and Polynesia, the present (Calophyllum Inophyllum Linn.) is conspicuous alike from its commonness and its beauty

491. The Six-headed Cocoanut Palm of Mahe, Seychelles
Like the majority of Palms the cocoanut only branches in consequence of some injury to its terminal growing point. The Doum is an exception

The Pitcher plant is shown growing in a tangled mass on the huge granite boulder below; and beyond is the harbour of Mahe

486. The highest point in Mahe with dead Capucin trees in the va
A view from Venns Town. Conspicuous in the vegetation are the white, dead trunks of the Capucin Tree (Northea seychellana, Hook)

460. Ipomoea and Vavangue with Mahe Harbour in the distance
Vangueria edulis, Vahl, or Vavangue, is a native of Madagascar, and now cultivated (and naturalised) in many other warm countries for the sake of its edible fruit. Observe the wasps nest upon it

454. Ostrich Farming at Groot Post, South Africa
Ostriches are stripped of their feathers twice a year, the operation, it is asserted, causing the bird little pain. Certainly no permanent injury ensues for fresh crops of feathers are produced year

453. Yellow-wood Trees and Creepers in the Perie Bush
The Yellow Wood, Podocarpus Thunbergii, Hook. is one of the largest and most valuable of South African timber-trees; see panel of it below

450. Looking over an expanse of Leucadendron towards Ceres and M

445. Scene in Dr. Atherstones Garden, Grahamstown
The small, flat-topped house is almost wholly concealed by creepers, a window only being discernible. Here the owner has assembled plants from all quarters of the globe

Painted from Dr. Beckers Verandah, Port Alfred. Tecoma Mackenii, is the finest of the very few Bignoniaceae indigenous in South Africa. The bird perched thereon is Ploceus capensis

434. The South African Doornboom, and Fingo Huts, 1882

411. A View on the Kowie River, South Africa
Zamia, and Strelitzia on the right, and tree Euphorbias on the distant hills

410. Krippelboom, with False Bay in the distance: South Africa
The family, Proteaceae, of which the Krippelboom (Leucospermum conocarpum, R. Br.) is a member, is almost as largely represented in South Africa as it is in Australia, but by different genera

400. Social Birds and Social Herbs at Malmesbury, South Africa
Here is the familiar Richardia aethiopica, Kuth, of our windows and conservatories, growing gregariously in its native swamps, associated with the almost cosmopolitan bullrush (Typha latifolia)
