HEPATICAE OF ST. CROIX, ST. JAN, ST. THOMAS AND 
TORTOLA® 
In the Synopsis Hepaticarum of Gottsche, Lindenberg and Nees 
von Esenbeck, published in 1844-47, three species of Hepaticae are 
listed from St. Croix, one from St. Jan, and one from St. Thomas. 
Another species, although listed from St. Kitts, was based in all prob- 
ability on material from St. Jan. A seventh species has been listed 
from St. Jan by Stephani. These seven species, which are the only 
ones so far reported from the islands under discussion, deserve a few 
words of comment.
