Excerpt from The Colony of British Honduras: Its Resources and Prospects; With Particular Reference to Its Indigenous Plants and Economic Productions At the close of last year, at the invitation of the Government, I paid a short visit to the Colony of British Honduras. The general results, as regards its flora and economic productions, are contained in the following pages. Owing to the facilities placed at my disposal, and the valuable assistance kindly accorded to me both officially and privately, I was enabled during my stay to travel over nearly one thousand miles of the country, and to see most of its salient features. The account given of the indigenous plants of the colony is, however, by no means complete; indeed, in my anxiety to deal chiefly with those of economic value, I have omitted many of purely botanical interest, trusting that a systematic and exhaustive examination of the flora of British Honduras will, at no distant date, be undertaken under the auspices of Government. This little work, has, therefore, no pretensions, beyond being an attempt to give some account of the resources of the colony, and to supply a few practical hints to those who are, or about to be, engaged in developing them. In England, little is known of British Honduras, and that little not of a very flattering character. Its climate has been maligned, its resources only partially acknowledged, and the somewhat unsavoury reputation of Spanish Honduras has been extended to this little country, "which has afforded one of the most remarkable instances of British enterprise and energy."
