West Indies. 



A few species were early collected in Jamaica, and Swartz (1806) 

 refers to some nineteen species known to him. Botanists of various 

 countries owning possessions in the various islands have collected 

 a few species here and there. Charles Wright in his expedition 

 to eastern Cuba made the most extensive collection that has ever 

 been made ; others less extensive are noted in the literature below. 

 The most recent collections have been made in Porto Rico by Mr. 

 A. A. Heller sent out under the auspices of the New York Botanical 

 Garden; his collections have not yet been studied. The following 

 literature bears on various portions of the archipelago:
