Voz. IJ STEWART—BOTANY OF THE GALAPAGOS ISLANDS 63 
(no. 1463). INDEFATIGABLE IsL.: Academy Bay, small trees 
near the shore, one of the common forest trees above 350 ft., 
(no. 1463); north side, trees above 1000 ft.; northwest side, 
small trees at 150 ft., forming large forest trees at 500-800 it. 
James Ist.: James Bay, common trees, 450-1700 ft., (nos. 
1464-1465) ; northeast side, trees above 600 ft. This species 
forms one of the most common forest trees in the transition 
and moist regions on the islands where it occurs. Hooker, op. c. 
194, describes it as an almost leafless tree, but we found it to be 
usually covered with a dense growth of leaves. Asa rule the 
trunk is short and the branches are large and broadly spread- 
ing. Owing to the rough nature of the bark it is usually cov- 
ered with epiphytes when it occurs in the moist regions. En- 
demic.
