The sweetbrier grows wild, and blossoms abundantly; both leaves and flowers are considerably larger than with us.

The acacia, or as it is there called, the locust, blooms with great richness and profusion; I have gathered a branch less than a foot long, and counted twelve full bunches of flowers on it.

The scent is equal to the orange flower.

The dogwood is another of the splendid white blossoms that adorn the woods.

Its lateral branches are flat, like a fan, and dotted all over, with star-like blossoms, as large as those of the gum-cistus.
