gravel. Plants of.this species on the interior are in fruit with only 
a very few flowers remaining.

Island and a conspicuous dominant on the northwest side.

frigatebirds, boobies and noddies. 
Bo erhaavla - found from the beach to the central portions, 
pinkish lavender to white flowered (faded ?). 
5 •_ Lepturus - flattened clumps with stolons found on the periphery 
of the island; upright raony-crowned plants found on the interior. Hie 
strond plants are obviously younger and, perhaps, due to the wave and 
wind action, a perpetual colonizer of these shifting island parts.

depressed portion of the island.
