 11 are cultivated plants, 41 are also found on the 

 Continent of America and otlier parts of the world, 

 47 are found in the American Islands as well as on the 

 Continent of America, 8 are only to be found in the 

 American Islands and the southern part ofFlorida, 15 are 

 only to be seen in the American Atlantic Islands and 

 28 are not yet seen except in the Antilles. 



When we compare thèse numbers with those I found 

 in the three Dutch Antilles, then we see that they are 

 there resp. 806, 132, 207, 301, 18, 34, 114. 



Among the 28 plants only known from the Antilles there 

 are 2 new species viz. Bouteloua Vaneedeni and Myrtus 

 anguillensis and 7 species are found, as far as we know, 

 only on the Islands to the north ofSt. Kitts: viz:Stigma- 

 tophyllon sericeum, Croton flavens, Argithamnia candicans, 

 Reynosia uncinata, Sarcomphalus domingensis, Ipomoea 

 arenaria and Lycium americanum.
