Remarks. — Of these seventy plants there is not one that has not coi 

 within the scope of my observations and experiments. The West Coast ol 

 Africa is included in the American region for reasons given in Chapter 

 VIII. For the other authorities on the buoyancy of these seeds and fruit- 

 reference should be made to the list given under Note 2 and to other parts 

 of this work. About one or two of the plants, like Ipomea peltata, one 

 scarcely knows whether they are most characteristic of the coast-flora 

 or of the inland-flora.

Colubrina asiatica. — Usually regarded as confined to th< Old World; 



but since nearly all the species are American, that continent may be 

 considered as the probable home also of this sp» ies. Hillebrand gives il 

 a locality in the West Indies. 



Dioclea violacea. — Tropical America.
