Excerpt from Hooker's Icones Plantarum, or Figures With Descriptive Characters and Remarks, of New and Rare Plants, Vol. 6: Selected From the Kew Herbarium This plant is known only from the Bahamas. Leaves of it were sent tokew in 1889 by Mr. J. H. Hart, Superintendent of the R0 al Botanic Gardens at Trinidad, who had received them from the Ba amas, through Sir William Robinson, Governor of the Colony and formerly also of the Bahamas. At the beginning of 1896, Dr. Morris, during a short visit to the Bahamas, made a collection of leaves, flowers, fruit, and bulbils of this interesting plant, thus supplying full material for its description. He found it only in the island of New Providence, as a garden plant. It is probable, therefore, that it has been introduced into the Bahamas, and is not a native of these islands. When fully developed, the plant is of a very striking character. It is the largest species of Ifurcrma known. So far it has not been cultivated for its fibre. Dr. Morris also brought with him fifty young plants, which are now under cultivation at J. G. Baker. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Hooker's Icones Plantarum, or Figures, With Descriptive Characters and Remarks, of New and Rare Plants, Selected From the Kew Herbarium, Vol. 7: Fourth Series; Part I. 2601-2625, June 1899; Part II. 2626-2650, May 1900; Part III. 2651-2675, August 1900; Part IV. 2676-2700, February 1901 Thunberg says in his Travels l.o These (the lowermost Raggeveld) as well as the others (roggevelds) have been so named from a kind of rye which grows wild here in abundance near the bushes. Curiously enough it has not been collected again since Thunberg's times. Burchell (travels, i. P. 256) says I saw none of the wild rye which has been said to be so abundant as to give the name to this district, but this might be owing to the season of the year. He visited this district in August, when grasses like this would naturally have disappeared. It might be suggested that S. Qfricanum is a variety of S. Cereals, which had been introduced by the farmers and then run wild but rye varies very little altogether, and, so far as I am aware, never in a way which would explain the differences that characterise the new species described above.
