Saba and St. Martin. 



Whereas the plants occurring on the rocky parts of these Islands 

 do not differ from those on St. Eustatius this vegetation needs 

 no further description. 



I will only mention that Jacquinia armillaris has not been seen

 Islands Green Island, Green Key and Tintamarre may give an 

 idea of the vegetation there. 

 On Green Island I collected the following plants: 

 Euphorbia articulata, Coccoloba uvifera, Tecoma leucoxylon, Ma- 

 riscus brizaeus, Opuntia Funa. 



On Green Key I collected the following plants: Euphorbia buxi- 

 folia, Portulaca halimoides, Lantana involucrata, Croton flavens.

 The vegetation is a mixture of Croton- and Littoralvegetation.
