§ § List of Plants collected in the Great Coco, Little Coco and 
Table Island, 
PHANEROGAMS. 
Thalamiflorji. 
ANONACES. 
1. Miliusa sp. 
Great Coco ; Little Coco ; very common in both islands. 
The specimens obtained are in fruit only ; the leaves are glabrous 
but otherwise are much like those of M. Boxhurghiana; the fruits are 
very like those of M. macrocar'pa. 
MENISPERMACES. 
2. Ctclba peltata H. f. and T. 
Great Coco; common. 
Burma, Nicobars. Not previously recorded from the Andaman 
group. 
3. Antitaxis calocarpa Kurz. 
Great Coco ; common. 
Andamans, Nicobars. 
NYMPHSACES. 
4. NTMPH.aiA Lotus Linn. 
Great Coco; plentiful in the small lake at the north-east corner of 
the island—ojily the red flowered form (N. rubra Roxb.). Little Coco j 
sparingly in the lake at the south-west corner of the island—only the 
white form (N. Lotus Linn.). 
This species is not included in any Andamans list and Kurz (^Report 
on the Vegetation of the Andamans, p. 15) comments on the absence of 
Nymphjiace.®. As a matter of fact this species does occurs in the Anda¬ 
mans; as does Barclaya longifolia. Nymphcea Lotus is very plentiful 
everywhere about the settlement at Port Blair, and in one arm of a creek 
that had been shut off from the tide by a bank of earth only three months 
before, the writer in December 1890 found hundreds of seedling plants 
already springing up. The lake in which it occurs on Little Coco is 
only a mangrove creek naturally closed from the sea by a sand-bank and 
the water is still slightly brackish; the vegetation around consists of 
Bruguiera, Lumnitzera, Geriops, Avicennia, and other mangrove swamp 
species.
