sand. The stems of Triumfetta are to 10 m. in length with upright 
sprouts. Hot common, probably a wave carried adventive. 
Pound along the west side with -^cp turns and Digitaria, less apparent 
elsewhere 
At the edge of hardpan just above the lagoon flat on the midwest side. 
Also occurs at the bottomof a shallow depression N of the guano workings 
Hot common on Enderbury but coiamonly T distributed in the Phoenix and 
Line islands. 
Small trees occur in restricted groves on the S and ¥ sides often 
with Toumefortia . Used as nesting sites by the redfooted booby and 
greater frigatebird. 
Small trees found on the W and S sides with Cordia used as nest sites 
by the species cited above. Much of the groves on the We side are 
composed of dead wood. Heavy concentrations of nesting birds combined 
with salt spray (especially with Cordia) restricts growth. Green sprouts 
in the area of nest platforms were torn and guano covered. Accumulations 
of guano found at the surface under these groves but no evidence of 
phosphatization such as occurs on wet islands under Pisonia was ob¬ 
served. 
Fifteen species of vascular plants have been recorded from Enderbury 
Island. Ten of these are considered native, two are problematical 
introductions and throeare known introductions since the European 
discovery of the island. Only Digitaria of the introduced plants 
appears to have naturalized to any extent. 
Collections of vascular plants from Enderbury Island have 
been made by the following; E. H. Bryan, Jr.,March 1924 and July 1938j 
S. H. Lamb/ March 1938; C. H. Long, November 1964, P. Woodward, 
February 1965. July and
