If we examine this list, we find that as to their abundance the species may 

 be arranged according to the number of banana holes in which they grow: 

 Sabal palmetto (12), Annona glabra (n), Chrysobalanus pellocarpus (8), 

 Sagittaria lancifolia (8), Myrica cerifera (6), Persea pubescens (4), Vitis Mun- 

 soniana (4), Proserpinaca platycarpa (4), Cladium effusum (4), Ilex cassine 

 (3), Cephalanthus occidentalis (3), Salix longipes (3), Phlebodium aureum

 Rhus (Metopium) toxiferum (i), Morinda roioc (i), Conoclinum dichotomum 

 (i), Mikania batatifolia (i). 



Growth Forms. The vegetation of the banana holes consists of several 

 growth forms which in association give general physiognomic character to them.
