ENDEMIC SPECIES 



The approximate number of species ^native to the islands as re- 

 corded, excluding fungi and algae, is 1,052, as follows: 



Spermatophyta 890 



Pteridophyta 41 



Bryophyta 46 



Lichenes 75 



1,052 



The numbers of Spermatophyta and Pteridophyta are not likely 

 to be increased by further exploration, but there are probably some 

 more Bryophyta and many more lichens to be obtained. As we know 

 the flora at the present time, the following 27 species are endemic, at 

 least to the Virgin Island group as a whole.
