154 PHANEROGAMS OF KEY WEST, SOUTH FLORIDA. 



BROMELIACE.E. 



165. Tillandsia bulbosa (Hooker). (Mr. TV. T. Fday.) 



166. *Ananassa sativa (Lindley) . Occasionally escapes 

 from cultivation. 



MlJSACEiE. 



167. *Musa sapientum (L.). The Banana is extensively 

 planted, and is sometimes found apparently naturalized. 



168. *M. Paradisiaca (L.). Ditto. 



CYPERACEiE. 



Of this order I found 5 species of Cyperus, including C. 

 confertus (S."W.) and C. fuligineus (Chapm.), the others 

 not yet determined, as they are in fragmentary condition, 

 and also an Eleocharis, sp. incert. 



Of Gramineae about 10 to 12 species, including Era- 

 grostis ciliaris (Link.) ; Panicum 2 species ; the abundant 

 Dactyloclenium JEgyptiacum (Willd.) and Eleusine Indica 

 (G'sertn.) and Cenchrus tribulo'ides (L.). The curious 

 creeping Monanthochloe littoralis (Engelmann) also oc- 

 curred on the southern sandy shores. 



Only one Fern, that being Aspidium patens (Sw.); but 

 Mr. Feay noted Acr ostichum aureum (L.) and Anemia 

 adiantifolia (L.) as well. 



A Chara occurred plentifully in a pond towards the 

 south portion of the island. 



The whole flora of the island may therefore be summed 

 up as not containing less than two hundred to two hundred 

 and twenty species, of which perhaps one hundred and 

 ninety may be considered genuine notices.
