121 A BOTANICAL TOUR AMONG THE SOUTH SEA ISLANDS. BY WILLIAM E. GTJILFOTLE. IL In Yarau's beautiful harbour we next dropped anchor. Yavau is the only one of tlie Friendly Islands we visited. The harbour is an exceedingly picturesque place, and in this respect it may be second only to Pango Pango in Tutuila. The scenery charmed me much, although, in all my rambles and I believe that I wallied over the greater portion of the larger islands of this group—I found nothing very i-are or new in the way of plants. Yavau is less mountainous, the surface having more of an undulating nature than any of the other islands. I think it would be admirably adapted for the growth of Cotton. In no other place have I seen the Cocoanut so abundant. There are six distinct varieties,—a fact which rather surprised me, as I had never heard of more than two. Having collected specimens, I soon obtained from the natives theii- respective names as follows -.—NiuJcafa, a very large nut, the husk of which is about eighteen inches long ; Kafahula, an almost roimd nut, the milk of which is very sweet ; Taokave, a very small nut, the milk used only by the chiefs : the tree itself is much taller and more slender than any of the other varieties, and bears a much greater quantity of nuts, the average being eighty in one bunch ; Paagania, nut of moderate size, but having a very thick shell, which the natives cut into round pieces about thi-ee or four inches in diameter, with which they play a game called " lafo ;" I\imnea, a very handsome variety, with a red husk; Ninule,\s the variety common throughout Polynesia, the nut is the same in size as the last, but of the ordinary colour, and is a remarkably sti'ong grower. In a village about two miles inland I came across a species of Shaddock, bearing fruit of exti'aordinary size, averaging thirty inches in circiimference, the rind one inch in thickness, and exceedingly bitter. Near a native burial-place, not far from Talau, the highest mount of Vavau, and which is only 400 feet above the level of the sea, I met with some very fine specimens of the beautiful Barringtonia speciosa, which is not common in Yavau, but is met with vei-y freqiiently in the Fijis and the East Indies. Its com- pact spreading branches, thickly clothed with large dark green foliage and rich rosy -pink sweetly scented flowers, entitle it to a place among the more beautiful of ornamental trees. The gi'ound is often covered for a considerable dis- tance with its large quadrangulate seed-vessels, which, while in the green state, are used for poisoning fish. About a mile from the burial-place I was not a little surprised to find myself under the shade of a magnificent Tamarind-tree {Tamarindus Indlcns) fully thirty-five feet in height. I inquired of some natives who could speak English tolei-ably well if they knew where the tree was brought from. They answered that "Papelangi"— "white man"—had put it there. Several varieties of the Orange-tree are plentiful about the villages, but the Tahitian predominates. There are also a Lemon and a Lime, the latter being the same species that I met with at the Samoas. The Carica Papaya, or " Papau apple " (often called " Mammcy apple ") is very abundant here.
