APPENDIX 



THE NAMES OF PLANTS 



As many of the common weeds and other plants 

 referred to in this Companion have different names in 

 different parts of the island, the botanical names of such 

 plants are given below. Should doubt arise in any case 

 as to identification, the matter should be referred to a 

 botanist. 



The fruit and important shade trees are so well 

 known throughout the West Indies that it is not con- 

 sidered necessarv to include their scientific names.
