The strictly summer flora is distinctly southern in its character, but even this has 
a decided northern element. Of the 40 species and varieties included here, 30 (75 
per cent) occur in the Florida-West Indies region, while 17 (42.5 per cent) are found 
in New England. Of these 17 forms recorded for New England, however, all except 
four are of general distribution, occurring in the Florida-West Indies region also. The 
distribution of this summer flora in the different divisions is as follows:

The strictly spring flora, on the contrary, is distinctly northern, of the 22 species 
and varieties recorded, 20 (90.9 per cent) being found in New England and only eight 
(36.4 per cent) being known from the Florida-West Indies region. Its northern 
character is further shown by the fact that red alge do not predominate here, the 
number in the different divisions being:

The four species common to the spring and summer flora are red alge. All of 
these are found in the Florida-West Indies region, while three occur in New England 
also. 
Of the 11 perennial species, all are found in New England while nine occur in the 
Florida-West Indies region also. The numbers in the different divisions are:
