Abstract
THE gardens of Madeira are remarkable for the neglect of native plants. This is due in part to indigenous indifference, and also to a preference for familiar forms amongst people who migrate hither from various regions, though chiefly to the temptation to test the facilities of growth and naturalisation in a moist and equable sub-tropical climate. Hence it is often easier to import species peculiar to Madeira than to find them in their native place; but none the less do these rocks abound with conspicuous examples of interesting genera.
