These lists admit no other conclusion than that the very generally 

 distributed plants, mostly shrubs or trees, occur abundantly in 

 the islands Curasao, Aruba and Bonaire, particularly Coccoloba 

 diversifolia, Capparis jamaicensis, Croton flavens, Jacquinia barbasco, 

 Bumelia obovata, Beureria succulenta; from which would follow 

 that the vegetation of these islands strongly resembles that of the 

 Antilles.
