Affinities of Bermuda Flora. The flora of the Bermuda islands consists 
of 326 species belonging to 231 genera and 78 orders while the indigenous 
element consists of 144 species belonging to 109 genera and 50 orders arranged 
taxonomically, as follows: 
Orders Genera Species 
Dicotyledons 37 74 85 
Monocotyledons 10 23 35 
Vascular Cryptogams 3 12 en 
50 109 144 
The cellular cryptogams probably number 201 species comprising 8 mosses, 
6 hepatic mosses, 31 lichens, 24 fungi and 132 algae showing that the lower 
flora is comparatively little known. 
From HEMSLEY‘) we learn that 109 species of the Bermudan flora inhabit 
southeastern North America and within one of the same number the West 
Indies. Further, eighty-six of the Bermudan plants are common to the West 
Indies and continental North America, or at least reach the Keys of Florida. 
It is only a comparatively small number of the eighty-six that does not reach 
the mainland of Florida, where there is a much greater overlapping of the essen- 
tially North American and the West Indian elements than was formerly suspected. 
To add tho these there are twenty-three West Indian species in the Bermudas

Botanical Garden are published.)
