The genera given in each of the foregoing tribes, are 

 among some of the more generally known, and also many are 

 enumerated on account of their being found in Trinidad and the 

 West Indies. There is not much doubt, but that among the 

 more widely known genera of the plant world, are the Dahlia, 

 Crysanthemum, Cineraria, Senecio, Lactuca, Helianthus, Zinnia, 

 and Aster. Below is a list of the local Compositse so far 

 arranged and classified in the cabinets at the Botanic Gardens' 

 Herbarium. As will be noticed, it is not quite a complete set 

 of the recorded plants of Grisebach's Flora, said to be indigenous 

 in Trinidad, but as additions are being constantly made, it is 

 hoped all the species will sooner or later be represented.
