Juan Fernandez. (21, 23.) 





The Juan Fernandez group consists of two large islands, 

 Masatierra (often called Juan Fernandez) and Masafuera, and 

 the small island of Santa Clara, which, lies off the west point of 

 the Masatierra. Masatierra is 366 knots West of Valparaiso and 

 Masafuera 92 knots further west. Both are high, mountainous 

 and volcanic islands. 



In the systematic list given by Skottsberg, 117 species are 

 recorded, five new ones being described. The indigenous species 

 of flowering plants number 105. Of these 72 (68-5 per 

 cent.) are endemic and 33 (31-5 per cent.) non-endemic. There 

 are 74 genera, of which 11 (15 per cent.) are endemic, and 38 

 families are represented, of which one (the Lactoridaceae) is 

 endemic. The number of Pteridophytes 18 43 (30 per cent, ol 

 the higher flora); 12 species (28 per cent.) are endemic, and 

 there is one endemic genus. Of the 72 endemic Phanerogams 35 

 have their nearest relatives in South America, especially in 

 Chile, 14 are clearly related to Polynesian, Australian or New 



or isolated.
