5. Tasutar View of the Distribution of the apparently Indi- 
genous Plants of the Tonga or Friendly Islands. 
This Table is restricted to the plants concerning which there 
is some probability of their being indigenous—that is to say, 
those which have probably reached the islands without the direct 
agency of man; but of course this is a point from which uncer- 
tainty cannot be eliminated. Thus limited, about 50 species 
included in the Enumeration are not repeated here. The list 
itself is of plants collected in one or more of the Tonga 
Islands *. In the first column to the right of the name the star 
indicates whether the species is found in Polynesia westward of 
the Tonga Islands; and in the second column an eastward ex- 
tension. It should be understood that Polynesia is here employed 
in a broad sense, and includes Micronesia and Melanesia of 
geographers. The third column, Australasia, includes Australia, 
New Zealand, and the contiguous islands belonging to these 
countries. Malaya,in the fourth column, includes New Guinea, 
the Moluccas, Malay archipelago and peninsula, Siam, and 
Cochin China. The fifth column indicates a wider range in the 
Old World, and the sixth an extension to America or the 
New World. 
* The Wallis Islands, claimed by the French, are here considered as forming 
part of the Tonga group; but very few plants have been collected in this 
group.
