Notes on the Shore Vegetation of the 

 Danish West Indian Islands. 



A Supplement to my earlier paper on the Halophyte vegetation of 



the Islands.

(With Plate III-VI.) 



Jjuring the winter 1905—06 I visited the Danish West Indian 

 Islands for the third time, for the purpose of investigating the 

 algal flora, but on my many excursions I naturally had ample 

 opportunities of observing the land-flora, and having on these ex- 

 cursions seen some things, that may perhaps be of interest and 

 in a different way may supplement my earlier description of the 

 vegetation along the shores, I have collected my observations in 

 this paper, which has to be regarded as supplemental to the de- 

 scription of the halophytic vegetation given by me in a paper: 

 "Om Vegetationen paa de dansk-vestindiske 0er", Kjobenhavn 1898^). 



I may be permitted here to render my thanks to the Direc- 

 tion of the Garlsberg Fund, for the grant towards the re- 

 production of the many pictures and the English translation. 



Finally I offer my best thanks to Docent Raunkiser for 

 having determined my collections of the flowering plants. 



In my earlier paper I have divided the halophytic vegetation 

 into the following 5 sections: the seagrass vegetation, the 

 sand strand vegetation, the rocky coast vegetation, the 

 mangrove vegetation and the marsh land vegetation 

 near lagoons and salt ponds.
