The question what plants are native and what are not is fully 
discussed by Sir W. Botting Hemsley, A. L. S.,* and need therefore 
not be entered into here. 
Besides two new species, the additions to Hemsley’s list are 
mostly introduced weeds or garden escapes, and therefore of very 
trivial iinj)ortance. But since in the earlier lists a considerable 
number of species are recorded on the basis of reports — some of 
them many years old — or of scanty material, and, especially, 
since the flora of Bermuda is inadequately represented in American 
herbaria, it has seemed best to put on record all the species collected. 
The specimens upon which this list has been leased have been 
determinetl (except in a very few cases otherwise indicated) by 
comparison with specimens at the Gray Herbarium of Harvard 
Lniversity, Cambridge, Massachusetts. The names have been 
made to accord with the rules of nomenclature adopted by the 
International Congress at Vienna in July, 1905. The author 
wishes to express his appreciation of the courtesy extended to him 
by the staff of the Gray Herbarium and its librarian in the use of 
its specimens and library in the preparation of this jjamphlet. 
The numbers following the names in the list and enclosed in 
brackets are the author’s collection numbers, the complete set being 
in his herbarium. An asterisk precedes those names which are 
not recorded from Bermuda in Hemsley’s list. In instances where 
the first name cited is not the one given in that list, the abbreviation 
H. L. follows the name which is there used. This abbreviation 
IS also employed in other cases in which the same work is referred to. 
The synonymy does not aim at completeness, but is in the main 
a selection of such synonyms as seemed to be significant in con- 
nection with the nomenclature; full citations are given only when it 
has been found necessary to displace the name in current use, which 
has not often been the case, and in two other instances in which 
It seemed tlesirable to give them; no new combinations were 
recjuiied. 
The ])amphtet contains three rcjiroductions from original photo- 
graphs.
