APPENDIX II 



LIST OF THE FLORA 



The following list of the flora of the atoll is based upon that 

 compiled by Dr. H. 0. Forbes from his own observations and 

 from those made previously by Darwin. 



To this list I have added several species, and I do not 

 doubt that it still remains far from complete. Where it is 

 possible, I have added the native names of the plants, and 

 noted their distribution and the use to which they are put by 

 the natives. For the naming of the Fungi, which (with the 

 exception of Polyporus luridus, which I did not myself observe) 

 are all additions to our knowledge of the flora, I am indebted 

 to Miss A. Lorrain-Smith and Mr. A. Gepp, of the British 

 Museum.
