The collections upon which the list is based, were made during: the winter of 1890-91, for the Missouri Botanical Garden, while the writer was one of a party of naturalists headed by Dr. J. T. Rothrock. Of the Bahamas, the fol- lowing islands were visited; New Providence, Eleuthera, Cat, Watling's, Crooked, Fortune, Inagua. Several days were spent on each island except Watling's, where, owing to the surf, but one landing was made. In Jamaica four ports were visited, Kingston, Port Morant, Port Antonio and Lucea. From Kingston an excursion was made to Bog Walk, the specimens labeled thus being collected between there and Spanish Town. Another excursion was made to Blue Mountain Peak. Specimens labeled Blue Mts. were collected between Gordontown and Abbey Green; those labeled Blue Mt. Peak were collected between Abbey Green and the Peak. Constant Springs, a suburb of Kingston, was also visited. On the return voyage a stop of three days was made at the island of Grand Cayman. The total number of the species determined is 953, to which are to be added the varieties and the cultivated plants. A large number of doubtful specimens were compared at Cambridge, and I wish to thank the persons connected with the herbarium for their kindness in placing the facili- ties at my disposal. The herbaria at Columbia College and at the Department of Agriculture were also briefly consulted. [47] 48 MISSOURI KOTANICAL GARDEN. About three-fourths of the ferns won- determined by Mrs. Maud Wislizenus. Following the catalogue is a tabulated lisl of the plants collected in the Bahamas, from which it will be seen that the Bahaman flora has come from the South and not from the United States. Dr. Rothrock kindly placed his collection at my disposal, and a few species and localities, indicated by the letter (R), were thereby added. It has also been possible to in- clude in the list a small collection made at Porus, Jamaica, by Mr. C. G. Lloyd, in January, 1892. Since the introduction of the binomial system of nomen- clature by Linnaeus, the name of a plant has consisted of two parts, the first, or generic, to show its position in the classification of the vegetable kingdom, the second, or specific, to distinguish it from others of the same genus. One of the advantages of a system of nomenclature is the certainty with which a given plant can be indicated, and hence it becomes more useful as it is more uniform, and it is only by the concerted action of botanists that unif ormity can be obtained. Two ways by which this can be accom- plished are by following an authority, or set of authorities, or by establishing a system of botanical nomenclature. Probably the greatest difficulty with the first method is that one man can know sufficiently well to be called an authority, only a limited flora or a limited portion of the vegetable kingdom, and when his work is to be incorpo- rated with that of others many difficulties arise. Or his successors may wish to establish names of their own. We see how the names of Walter and Michaux were discarded by Persoon, and how few of Rafinesque's names were adopted by his successors. But it is now quite generally conceded that we must look to the second method for stability. The first step in this direction was the adoption of the law of priority. But from this point opinions diverge; some saying that we should commence to apply the law, at the date of Linnaeus' PLANTS COLLECTED IN BAHAMAS, ETC. 49 Species Plantarum, 1753, while others would allow no limit. The argument in favor of the former is that the second part of a pre-Linnsean binomial was not a specific name but a phrase accidentally consisting of but one word. Again, opinions differ as to whether a name dates from the time the plant is placed in a given genus or from the original description. In the one case it is held that the name is the combination of the genus and species and must date from the time this combination is made. Thu* when a species is transferred from one genus to another, the plant receives a new name, which may or may not have a connection with the previous name. The Botanical Con- gress modified this by saying that if a plant is transferred, the new specific name should be the same as the old. However, if an author does not do this, but gives a differ- ent specific name, his binomial would stand unless dis- carded on other grounds. The laws of this school require, therefore, that a given plant should bear the binomial first given to it under the accepted genus. This has seldom, possibly never during this century, been strictly adhered to by any botanist in an extended work. The oldest name may have been little used, or it may have seemed inappro- priate; or a plant may have been long known in one genus, but on being transferred to another has been given a different specific name, and a subsequent author has restored the original. This has been the fate of manv of Kafinesque's names in the hands of Dr. Gray and Mr.. Bentham. In the second case the original specific name is consid- ered to be the essential feature in nomenclature. This should be retained through whatever changes in classifica- tion the plant may go. As in the previous case, this rule has never been strictly adhered to in any extended work. Many botanists have done so more or less closely and much discussion has taken place lately, particularly in this country, regarding the principles of this second or " re- 4 50 MISSOURI BOTANICAL GARDEN. formed' method of nomenclature. I will enlarge some- what od these principles as I understand them. Assuming undoubted identity and sufficient publication, priority would be decided by the date of the latter, or, in a given work, by lineal sequence, oven on the same page. In trans- ferring from one genus to another the plant retains its old specific name under the new genus. But if there be already a plant in this genus bearing the same name, the I wo cannot be distinguished. Logic would probably require the one having the oldest specific name to stand, but I be- lieve this is not followed by any of the new school. Instead, the one already in the genus is given the advantage, the other taking a new name. Not only should the original specific name be used in all cases but if at any time this has not been done, the original name should be restored. This is the important difference between this system and the first. In the one case, if a new specific name is given, it must be used ; in the other case a new specific name is discarded and the old one restored. It logically follows that the identity of the generic and specific names is no reason for discarding the latter. This gives rise to such binomials as Catalpa Caialpa and An- anas Ananas. It will also give us such names as Coix Lachryma Jobi, L. and Chrysocoma Coma aurea, L., and possibly Melilotus Melilotus officinalis. For the same reason, if two species with the same spe- cific name occur in a genus, and subsequently the plant whose name was necessarily changed, is transferred to another genus, the original name should be restored. For example: Celiis Lima, Sw. (Fl. Ind. Occ. i) and C. Lima, Lam. (Diet, iv) are different species. The latter was con- sequently changed to O. Lamarckiana9~R. & S. (Syst. vi). But when taken out of the genus Geltis the original name Lima should be restored. * If two species are united or one is made the variety of another, the older name persists. This is quite inconve- nient when the older is a local or abnormal form. If a PLANTS COLLECTED IN BAHAMAS, ETC. 5| species is divided, the original name persists for one of the parts, the older if that can be determined. If an original description clearly refers to a different plant from one which the author has named in an herba- rium, the name would apply to the plant described. In regard to priority of genera there is as much differ- ence of opinion as in the case of species, some allowing no limit but taking up names of the old herbalists, while others think that for convenience an arbitrary starting point should be chosen, such as Tournefort's Institutiones Rei Herbaria in 1700, or the first edition of Linnaeus' Genera in 1737 or the sixth edition in 1764. One of the questions which causes serious practical diffi- culties is what constitutes sufficient publication. With species it is generally held that what will identify the plant will establish the name, as a description, a reference to a published plate, or a synonym ; and this is published when issued in printed form and publicly distributed. Hence herbarium or manuscript names are not thus published. In the case of printed descriptions privately distributed or sets of exsiccatae placed on sale, it is an open question whether this constitutes publication. If an edition of one thousand copies of a work containing original descriptions of plants, should be accidentally destroyed, except one copy, the new names would probably be considered as published. With genera it is more difficult to draw the line between sufficient and insufficient description. Is it necessary to give at least the important characters which are common to the species of a genus ? Or is it only necessary to indicate what species form a genus ? A few examples will illustrate some of the doubtful points. In Linnaeus' Species Planta- rum, a generic name without description heads a list of described species. In Patrick Browne's History of Jamaica we find, for example, " Sciodaphyllum 1. Foliis majoribus oblongis petiolis communibus umbellatim affixis, floribus spicatis. Tab. 19, fig. 1, 2." Following this is a descrip- 52 MISSOURI BOTANICAL GARDEN. tion in Latin of (he parts of the (lower and then a descrip- tion of the tree in English. This genus is accepted by Bent-ham and Hooker (Gen. PI. i, p. 940), and is cited " Sciadophyllum P. Br. Jam., p. 190, t. 19. " In the Journal de Botanique, ii, 1809, p. 166, is an article entitled " Prospectus de M. Bafinesque Schmaltz, relatif a deux ouvrages sur la Botanique du Nord de 1' Amerique; traduit du Medical Repository de New Yorck, vol. 5, p. 350 [1808], par M. N. A. Desvaux." Rafinesque here proposes several new genera, to be formed by separating species from old genera. At the head of the list is " 1. Adlumia cirrhosa; qui est la Fumaria fungosa d'Aiton, ou S. erecta [F. recta] de Michaux." De Candolle (Syst. ii, p. Ill, 1821) takes up the name " Adlumia, Raf . in Desv. journ. bot., 1809, 2, p. 169," giving a description; and succeeding authors quite generally use Adlumia, Raf. On page 171 of the above mentioned article appears "21. Achroanthes unifolia; Malaxis unifolia Mich." In 1818 Nuttall (Gen. ii, p. 196), proposes the genus Microstjdis, giving the characters on which the separation from Malaxis would be made, but the actual separation was made by Eaton (Man. Ed. 3, 1822). Did Rafinesque establish the genus Achroanthes, and therefore does it have priority over Microstylisf If not should not the first example be quoted Adlumia, Raf. in DC. Syst.? Prof. Greene (Pittonia, Sept. 1891) considers the evidence sufficient for the restoration of Achroanthes, and renames the North American species. In this con- nection it is a curious fact that most authors from Lindley (Orch. 1833) to Hemsley (Biol. Cent. Am. iii, 1883) and Greene (1. c.) quote Malaxis umhellulata, Sw. Prod., though Swartz's specific name is umbelliflora . Some of Linnaeus' genera were published for the first time in the Species Plantarum, and it is perfectly clear what his genus is in most cases. Browne's genera appearing in a local flora are less clearly defined. At all events genera PLANTS COLLECTED IN BAHAMAS, ETC. 53 so established will doubtless be accepted if they have sub- sequently been taken up and sufficiently characterized be- fore another name was given them. The critical point is whether one is justified in restoring a genus established as in the above examples, and discarding a later well known name. Ichthyomethia, P. Br. is accepted by Sargent (Gard. & For. Oct. 7, 1891) and Britten (Jour. Bot. xxix, No. 347, p. 352). It would seem that the original generic or sectional name should be as permanent as the original specific or varietal name. In 1825 (Prod, ii; Mem. Leg. vi) De Candolle described under the genus Clitovia the section Centrosema. In 1826 Desvaux (Ann. Sci. Nat. ix) described a genus which corresponded to this section, giving the name Criiminium. Subsequently the section Centrosema was raised to a genus (Benth. Ann. Mus. Wien. ii, 1838). The logical applica- tion of the law of priority as marked out in the case of species would require that Centrosema should be used in- stead of Criiminium as is done by Dr. Britton (Bull. Torr. Club, Oct. 1891). It is probablv the general opinion that though the name of a genus of plants may be the same as that of a genus of animals, a generic name among phanerogams should not be identical with one among cryptogams. In this case Setaria, Ach. may have priority over Setaria, P. Beauv. (conf . note in catalogue). It is also thought by some that a name identical with an earlier one which has passed into synonymy should be discarded. This seems unnecessary so long as the earlier name is a synonym, yet the rule is a good one and may be adopted. As to the method of quoting authorities of binomials, there seems to be no settled opinion among the new school botanists. Some would quote only the author of the orig- inal specific name, some only the author of the accepted combination, while others would quote both, in which latter case the author of the specific name is placed in parenthesis. Thus when Malva rosea, DC. Prod, i, is transferred to Mai- 54 M1SS0U1U BOTANICAL GARDEN. vastrum by Hemsley (Biol. Cent. Am. i, p. 99), we have M. rosewn, ( DC. ), M. roseum, Hemsl., or M. roseum, (DC. ) Hemsl. It appears in the above work, Malvastrum (Malva) roseum, (DC. ). The matter of quoting Is of secondary importance. in a critical work the synonymy with date and place of pub- lication is given and one can see at a glance the history of a species. in lists or casual references to plants it is not necessary to cite the author except to distinguish between two species having the same name, in which case the author of the combination is certainly more distinctive. But if the question of credit to the author is considered important, both should be cited. Yet in case the name is preoccupied the former author does not receive his due credit, while if an older name in another genus is restored, the author of such a combination gets more credit than is his due. In the appended catalogue I have used the double citation system, as it is in use among mycologists and also brings out more points of the new system. The " new ' or "reformed" system has been frequently referred to; in practice it is not new but has only recently been brought forward among phenogamic botanists as a system of nomenclature. If an author describes a species in one genus and after- wards transfers it to another, double citation would require that his name appear both in the parenthesis and outside, as it is an accident that the two are the same ; also if a section or other division of a genus is raised to generic rank, the author of the former should be written in paren- thesis, as Centrosema, (DC.) Benth. The older authors are not always to be depended upon in their references. For example, " Linn. Spec. PL' frequently refers to the second edition. The second edition of the Species is often cited for names which first appeared in the tenth edition of the Sy sterna Vegetabilium, 1759. Swartz's Fl. Ind. Occ. is sometimes cited for names which appeared several years earlier in his Prodromus, 1788. PLANTS COLLECTED IN BAHAMAS, ETC. 55 Authors are not infrequently cited for varietal names for which they are not responsible; for example, in DC. Prod. iv, p. 541, we find " Spermacoce verticillata , var. Ameri- cana, L. Spec." and " var. Africana, L. Spec' Linnaeus merely says under S. verticillata, " Habitat Jamaica, Africa." (I will remark here that it is much easier to find errors in another's work than it is to exclude them from one's own.) Another doubtful point is illustrated by Echinopepon cirrhopedunculatus, Rose, Contr. Nat. Herb. Vol. i, No. 4. In a foot-note the remark is made that some authors would name the plant Echinocystis cirrhopediinculala, others Micrampeles cirrhopednnculata . In case these latter com- binations are used should Rose be cited as their author? Probably not, as the author of a combination thus records his opinion as to the name the plant should bear. It would be convenient if, as some have suggested, the names of well marked varieties were always different from all species of the genus. In a critical work their proper relation to the species would be shown, but in ordinary references they could be counted as species. This saves time and is just as definite. In citing authors for species which have been separated from others, it would certainly be more indicative to con- nect with both the name of the author who made the separa- tion. A reference to Epilobium color a turn, Muhl. may mean E. adenocaulon, Hauskn., but a reference to E. coloratum, Hauskn. would leave no doubt. This, how- ever, is not in accordance with the new system. In case the spelling of a generic or specific name has been changed, should the author of the correction be cited? He certainly is not the author of the genus or species, only the author of the correction, yet it would hardly do to cite an author for a spelling which he did not use. In this catalogue I have used the original spelling so far as that could be ascertained, except in cases of clearly typograph- ical errors. 56 MISSOURI liOTANK'AI. (JAKDKN. In the following catalogue, the starting poinl for genera and species has been taken at the first < ' < I i t i< n » of Linnaeus' Species Plantarum, IT"*.*1).* In very many cases the earliest name can be decided upon only by a monographer who examines the original specimens. Cultivated species arc included only when specimens were obtained, and are placed in lower case type. All the species in small capitals were found Indigenous or naturalized. In the names, sequence and Limitation of orders, Bcntham and Hooker's Genera Plantarum has been followed, except that Coni ferae have been placed after Gramineae. This work has also been followed for the sequence, and, in most cases, the limitation of genera. The species are arranged alphabetical!}7 under the genera. The ferns are arranged according to Hooker and Baker's Synopsis Filicum. * It was intended to take as the initial point for genera, Linnaeus' Genera Plantarum, Ed. I, 1737; and to admit specific names identical with the generic. But owing to delays the paper did not go to press till after certain principles of nomenclature were adopted by the Botanical Club of the A. A. A. S. It was thus possible to make the nomenclature conform to these rules. Unfortunately the corrections were necessarily made in the absence of much of the literature.

I can see no constant difference in the fruit. T. semitriloba is described as having the prickles of the fruit glabrous, but in all the specimens examined the prickles are supplied with retrorse hairs (Smith, Guatam. 2023; Curtiss, Fla. 404, Garber, Fla.; Cuba, Wr. 43; Sintenis, Porto E. 17; Eggers, St. Thomas, 198).

In the preface he makes the following statement, "Varietates praecipuse et subspecies non oinissas sunt. Speciebus obscuris, aut quoad sedem dubiis, vel accuratiori in- dagationi subjiciendis, signa crucis seu asteriscum apposui." I assume from this that Domingensis was used as a specific name. Kronfeld (Mon. Typh.) interprets it as a subspecies. In the latter case our plant becomes, T. Domingensis (Pers.) Kunth, Enum. iii. 1841. It is fre- quently quoted T. angustifolia, L. var.

Prod. 174 MISSOURI BOTANICAL GARDEN. although transported fail to be placed in a favorable situ- ation. 1 collected several beans of Gigalobium scandevs on various beaches, but the plant had not gained a foot-hold as its habitat is the dense woods of the larger islands. But the bulk of the flora of the Bahamas is either maritime or such as would, under favorable conditions, be likely to pass through the salt water ordeal successfully. The islands are all low and probably most of the species are found within the influence of the sea. It will be observed that more species are represented in the collections from New Providence than from any of the other islands, although no more thorough search wTas made. This is probably due to the fact that Nassau is the chief port of the Colony and the facilities for plant distribution are thus increased. The following is a tabulated statement of the plants col- lected in the Bahama Islands showing their distribution, so far as shown by my collections, in the islands visited, and also the occurrence of said species in the adjacent regions. For the latter I have taken as the basis, Grisebach's Cata- logus Plantarum Cubensium, Eggers' Flora of St. Croix and the Virgin Islands, Hemsley's Biologia Centrali Americani, and for the United States various works on American botany. The distribution in South America was taken from Grisebach's Flora of the British West Indies.
