Leguminous Herbs. Phaseolus maximus perennis, or the Great Bean of Jamaica. The Small red spotted Bean. The Jamaica white Peas, like our Rouncivals. The white Bonavist or Egg-Pea; it hath a Milk white Hilus or Eye almost surrounding it. The red Bonavist is somewhat less. The largest white Phaseolus with a black Eye, commonly called the Horse-Bean. These are the 1st, 2d, 4th, 5th, 6th and 7th, in Dr. Sloan's Nat. Hist. of Jamaica, where the Plants are most curiously engraved. Sir Robert Sibbald's Nux Indica ex qua Pyxides pro pulvere sternutatorio parant; the mealy Part is taken out of this at the Hilus in order to its being made a Snuff-Box: They grow beyond Mount Diablo in Jamaica, and are cast on Shore on the Orkney Isles (p)(p) Phil. Trans. N° 222.. As also is the Phaseolus Brasilianus, call'd in Jamaica the Horse Eye Bean, from the black Ledge that almost surrounds it; it is better than an Inch Diameter, and of a dark Colour: They are sometimes tip'd with Silver, and worn for Buttons (q)(q) Dr. Sloane's Nat. Hist. of Jamaica. the 8th and 9th.. Another Sort, larger, compress'd and lighter coloured; the Hilus is not now black. Phaseolus maritimus semine fusco striato, the Sea-Bean, oval, brown, with Clay coloured Spots, dangerous to eat. Phaseolus Glycyrrhizites, or wild Liquorice. A round Scarlet Pea, adorned with a black Spot upon the Seat of the Placenta; they are stringed and worn as Bracelets: They grow also in Madagascar and China, where they use them as Weights (r)(r) Dr. Grew's Mus. Reg. Soc. p. 233. It is Dr. Sloane's 12th, and the preceding his 10th.. Some of them are said to be black all over, which may account for some of that Colour and Size, sent me under the Name of Indian Shott. One of a much larger Kind, that is half Scarlet, and half Black; it weighs 14 of the said small Guiney Peas. Those that are called the French Beans, both of the red, and of the white, from Jamaica. A lesser Sort of Kidney, brown striked with black. Two Pods of the Callavance, or Jamaica red Peas, the Cods are of a dark reddish Colour with a Swelling over every Pea, which seem to be small, of the Bigness of our Vetches. This is the 18th of Dr. Sloane. The Phaseolus erectus major. Here are also the small Gallivant Peas, or perhaps the Phaseolus erectus minor, not so big as the least Field Pea, white with a black Eye.
