Baron Eggers' enumeration is based mainly on plants from St. Croix 

 and St. Thomas. He has 783 indigenous plants from the Virgin Islands, 

 against 66G from St. Croix. There is almost no endemic element, and 

 nearly all the plants are common to Porto Rico. Eggersia, Hook, f. (in 

 Hook, Ic. PI. t. 1401), a new genus of Nyctaginese, discovered by Baron 

 Eggers in the island of St. Thomas, is an interesting exception, so far as 

 is known at present, but it may occur in Porto Rico.
