Citharexylon villosum Jacq. 

 In coastal coppices : 



Abaco Eight Mile Bay, Brace 1882. 



New Providence at Southwest Bay and along Farringdon Road, B. 6 

 Br. 499, 233 ; near Nassau, Hitchcock. 



Cat Island Port Howe, Hitchcock. 



This species shows considerable variation in leaf outline, degree of 

 pubescence and size and color of the pyrenae. Mr. Combs' No. 468 from 

 Cieneguita, Cuba; Mr. Brace's Abaco No. 1882; and Mr. Nash's 991 

 from Hayti are broad leaved forms. These pass through Britton & 

 Brace' s New Providence 499 to narrower leaved forms representing C. 

 bahamense Millsp. (Bull. N. Y. Bot. Gard. 3. 450.) To this form are 

 referable, Britton 6 Brace's New Providence 233 type ; Hitchcock's 

 New Providence and Cat Island specimens ; and Paulsen's St. Thomas 

 No. 156, the last specimen cited was distributed as C. cinereum L. 



Duranta repens Linn. 



D. Plumieri Jacq. Plentiful where found at all. Generally in the 



pine barrens and open scrublands. Apparently native though possibly 



introduced and now spreading. 

 Abaco Marsh Harbor, Brace 1740. 

 Great Bahama pine barrens at Eight Mile Rocks, B. 6 M. 2434; 



Brace 3687. 

 New Providence near Nassau, Northrop 39; Cooper 33; Curtiss i ; 



Coker 61 ; Brace 22 ; Millsp. 2050; Hitchcock; Wight 4, 49. 

 Eleuthera Governor's Harbor, Hitchcock. 



Callicarpa fulva Rich. 



In scrub land and coppice : 

 Cat Island Hitchcock. 



Mr. Hitchcock's plant, while having (on account of its greatly re- 

 duced leaves) a quite distinct general appearance of difference from C. 

 fulva (as well represented by C. Wright's 1357 Monte Verde, Cuba, 

 May 30, 1859,) nevertheless has no other characters of differentiation. 

 It is fairly well connected in leaf size and form with the Wright plant 

 through Mr. Wright's other 1357 collected at the base of Farallones, 

 Sept. 29, 1860, which is in the same fruiting stage as the Hitchcock 

 plant. Of this Farallones plant Mr. Wright says, "A slender bush 6 

 to 10 feet high: in thick woods." 



Sauvalle (Fl. Cub. 113) considers this species syqonymous with the 

 Jamaican C. ferruginea Swartz, this however is not the case, the differ- 

 ences are broad and evident.
