FLORA OF THE ISLAND OF ST. CROIX.

CHARLES F. MILLSPAUGH, M.D,

St. Croix is the largest of the three principal islands of the group
known as the Danish West Indies. It lies in latitude 17° 36' N. and
longitude 64° 36' W., about 40 miles south by east from St.
Thomas, from which it is separated by a depth of water varying from
1,100 to 2,450 fathoms. The island lies with its longest diameter of
21 miles nearly east and west, is about 5 miles wide at its broadest
part, and has an area of about 57 square miles. Its width in the
western half is nearly uniform. The northern and southern shores
gradually approach each other toward the eastern end, where they
meet in a rounded point, making the general outline of the island
somewhat like the head of a mechanic's hammer. The north side is
entirely hilly and broken, with but one well-defined valley — that of
the Salt River. The south side is low and slopes gradually to the
sea. The eastern end of the island is composed of hills 600 feet or
more in height and is surrounded by an extensive shoal 5 to 8
fathoms deep. The northwestern end is also hilly, with an abrupt
coast line nearly steep-to into a fathomage of from 600 to 800; while
the southwestern point extends into a low sand spit with shallow
water for some distance from the shore.

Like most of the West Indian Islands, St. Croix has an early
history of strife and governmental vacillation, its possession in turn
by the Caribs, Spain, England, France, Holland and Denmark giving
rise to various local names for its towns and physical features. The
two principal settlements are Fredericksted or West End, having a
population in 1890 of 3,683, and Christiansted or Bassin, 15 miles
to the east upon the north shore, with a population in 1890 of 5,499.
Fredericksted is commercially the most active, since it is the princi-
pal stopping place of steamship lines and large vessels; while
Christiansted, the capital city, though having a fine and protected
harbor, is accessible to small vessels only. The population of the
island is placed at 19,783 persons, of whom nine-tenths are black.

The climate of the island is very favorable for agriculture. The
temperature is so uniform and high that there is never any hint of

frost. Contrary to the statement of Baron Eggers,* Mr. Ricksecker
states that the air is very humid, and heavy dews are so common that
it was not considered safe to sit out of doors in the evening. Any
article of iron left exposed, even for a short time, gathers rust rapidly.
The average temperature is about 8i° F., the range of monthly aver-
ages being from 78° F. (February) to 84° F. (September). The
lowest and highest temperatures in the shade were 65° and 96° F.,
respectively, though in the sun it has been known to go so high as
124°. The effect of this heat is greatly modified by the trade winds
which blow steadily from October to June; the rest of the year the
winds are fitful and the heat becomes nearly unbearable. The rain-
fall is variably periodical; the yearly average for a number of years
(1852-1889) was 46.22 inches; the lowest annual average was 29.6
inches, and the highest 67.6 inches. The monthly averages for the
same period were as follows:

January, . . 2.36 -I- inches. July, , . . 3.54 — inches.

February, . . 1.92 + " August, . . 4.56 -f- "

March, . . 1.72+ " September, . 5.77 -|- "

April, . . . 2.76 -j- " October, . . 6.95 "

May, . . . 4.2 -|- " November, . 5.36 -f "

June, . . . 4.05 " December, . 3.01 -f "

From this table it may be seen that there is a rainy season
extending from May through November, and a comparatively dry
season from December to April, inclusive. Thus the rain}- period
occurs when the trade winds become irregular. The west half of the
island receives the greater amount of rain and there are other local
differences. There are also great irregularities in the monthly
averages for different years; for example, one year February had .19
inch and another year 3.75 inches; May had one year only .47
inch and another year 16.84 inches. From January to July the
cane crop is harvested, and as fast as*removed replanting is done, so
that the young cane receives plenty of rain when most needed. Rains
come up out of" a clear sky, on very short notice, and often pass
away in five or ten minutes, after a tremendous downpour. Some-
times, of course, they may be several hours in duration, in which
case the guts become roaring torrents of muddy water effectually
blocking travel, as there are scarcely any bridges. During seasons
of protracted rains the atmosphere becomes chilly, although the
thermometer may show a temperature of nearly 80°. In such
seasons certain plants will bloom and produce fruit. This is notice-

ably true of the cherry [Malpighia glabra L.) which often yields three
or more crops in one year. A number of trees and shrubs drop their
leaves during the dry season, such as Anona squa??iosa, Samyda serru-
lata^ Eriodendron anfractuosum^ Erythroxyluui ovatum, Melicocca hijuga,
Spondias luiea^ Comocladia i/icifo/ia, Piscidia Erythrina, Poinciana regia,
Bauhinia tomentosa, Randia aculeata^ Cordia alba, Crescentia cujeie,
Tecoma leucoxylon, Bignonia uiiguis, Citharexylum quadr angular
Phyllanthus dislic/ious, Hipponiane Mancinella, Hura crepitans, and
others.

Unlike St. Jan and St. Thomas, St. Croix is fertile and capable
of extensive agricultural operations, having already been one of the
notable sugar producing islands of the Antilles. The total number
of acres in cane cultivation in i88g was 16,479, yielding a little less
than 15,000 tons of sugar, 118,000 gallons of rum and 271,400 gallons
of molasses, the whole valued at $1,069,324.

Most of the sugar is manufactured at the great central sugar
factory, near Bassin, which is under government control. There are
about 72 estates ranging in size from 150 to 2,165 acres. The origi-
nal number of estates was much larger, but in recent years they have
been united; for example, "Wheel of Fortune" estate now includes
the original estate together with those of Fredericks Haab, Stony
Ground, liar's Hill, Two Brothers, Hesselberg, and Smith's Field.
Each estate has its own little village of stone huts, surrounding or
near the estate house, where the people who are employed in the
fields live with their families. Isolated dwellings are uncommon.
For example: The estate of Big Princess is worked by 71 men and
62 women, most of whom live in its village with their families. This
is a village of average size. There are required besides, for this same
estate, 32 mules and 28 oxen. The total number of men thus
employed on the island, in 1890, was 3,635, or 23.6 to every 100
acres; the total number of w^omen was 2,743, ^7' 9 to each 100 acres;
•the number of mules was 1,211, or 7.9 to each 100 acres; and the
number of oxen was 1,576, or 10.3 for 100 acres. These figures do
not include the owners, managers, overseers with their families,
squatters, invalids, nor children under thirteen years of age. The
amount of land leased to squatters is increasing; year by year, show-
ing a tendency on the part of the natives to become independent.
Besides the laborers employed on the estates, many work in the sugar
factory and on the docks, others are engaged in fishing and hunting,
while a large number live from hand to mouth.

A few estates are engaged in raising fruit. Little La Grange has
an extensive banana field, and over 10,000 pineapples were grown in

444

1895. Spring Gardens has extensive plantations of cocoa, coffee,
mangoes, oranges, vanilla, etc. There is no doubt that the future
prosperity of the island depends largely on the growing of fruit.

Besides bananas, pineapples, oranges, lemons, limes and coco-
nuts, a number of fruits not so commonly known are grown, making
St. Croix a fine field for the horticulturist or pomologist. Many of
these fruits have promising qualities that could be developed. The
guava (Psidium) is well known as furnishing a most delicious preserve
and jelly. The trees thrive well in grass lands and spread rapidly. The
mango [Majigifera indica), of which there are a number of varieties,
is of much importance locally. Some varieties have a very strong
turpentine odor and taste, which in others is almost lacking. A
favorite way of eating the fruit, which is yellow in color, bean-shaped,
and about the size of a goose egg, is to knead it, then cut a hole in
the tough skin and suck out the semi-fluid contents. They thrive
well in moist localities and are very productive. The cashew
{^Anacardiu7)i occideniale)^ which is one of the most attractive fruits, is
somew^hat of the shape and size of a bell-pepper or pear and has a
bean-shaped nut at the lower end. The upper part is bright scarlet
or lemon-yellow, very shiny and smooth. It is juicy and sweet and
is very good stewed, resembling a sweet-apple conserve. The nuts
contain a very acrid oil which produces painful blisters. By roast-
ing, this oil is driven out and the kernel then becomes edible and has
the flavor of an almond. These trees thrive on the hillside and
places where there is a moderate amount of moisture. The mespel
{Sapota achras) of several varieties and sizes is grown, some being
spheroidal and others oval, or egg-shaped, about the size of an
apple; they have a russet-brown, scaly coat, and, when unripe,
possess an acrid, milky juice; the flowers emit an odor like "machine
oil." The fruit is plucked when it will snap off easily and is laid
away in a cool, dark place for a few days, when the juice loses its
milky and acrid nature and the fruit becomes very luscious and
sweetly astringent. They will bear shipping, and are sometimes
founci in the New York markets. The kenep [Melicocca hijugd) is
very common, and, though not cultivated, there is a diversity in the
size and flavor of the fruits. The flowers are very delicately vanilla-
scented, and the fruit is borne in clusters like grapes, each fruit
being round or egg-shaped, green, shiny, and minutely warty. The
outer shell is about one-sixteenth of an inch thick, white inside, quite
brittle and free from the endocarp which is flesh-colored, somewhat
gelatinous, sour-astringent, and adhering to the large white seed.
The soursop [Anona muricatd) and custard-apple {Anona reticulata)

Nov. 1902. Flora of the Island of St. Croix — Millspaugh. 445

are common. The fruit of the former often attains a diameter of
seven or eight inches and has a smooth tuberculate, green surface;
the white curdy pulp having a pleasant acid taste and making a very
delicious sherbet. The custard apple is sweet and aromatic, full of
silicious granules. It is usually about the size of an apple, pale-
green with deeply reticulated or areolated surface. The mamey
apple {Mammea A7nericand) is round, russet-brown, from three to
eight or more inches in diameter. The outer skin is tough and one-
eighth inch to one-quarter inch thick. It separates readily from the
firm, yellow, juicy, slightly-stringy flesh which has a mild, sweetly
acid taste. The big, brown, scaly seed separates readily. The
cherry {Malpighia glabra) furnishes excellent, clear jellies and pre-
serves. The bush is very prolific, bears several crops a year, the
berries being shiny-red and roundish or cuboidal in shape, about the
size of our common cherry. The flavor is sharp and pleasant.
Tamarinds are abundantly grown, their cinnamon-brown, indehiscent
pods being several inches long, very brittle, and free from the
brownish, intensely acid flesh in which the seeds are embedded.
They are packed in syrup and shipped to the United States in kegs
or jars; if eaten without sugar the tongue becomes sore in a short
time. The trees grow to a very large size and the yellow wood is
very hard and tough. The guava berries [Eugenia floribunda) are
shiny black, about the size of small marbles, bitterly aromatic, mak-
ing good preserves. Mouriria do7ninge7isis (Walp.) has a fruit much
like a persimmon in taste, color, size and shape. It is rare, however,
and its qualities little known, though I have eaten it and found it
excellent. The bell-apple {Passiflora laurifolia) has a large berry
whose, pulp, resembling raw white of an egg, has the taste of rose-
water and makes a delicate dessert eaten from wine glasses. The
red manjack {Cordia collococca) has bright crimson berries the size of
cherries with an astringent, glutinous flesh. The calabash {Cres-
centia cujete), whose fruit is used for making cooking utensils, is
very common. The blossoms appear principally on the trunk and
thick limbs much like adventitious buds. The fruit is round
or nearly so, varying from three inches to a foot in diameter
— green, smooth and hard. The shell, which is about one-eighth
to one-quarter inch thick, contains a pulpy flesh adherent to
it. This shell is prepared for use by sawing the fruit in
half, scooping out the pulp, and then boiling in water with ashes.
A sharp shell is then used to scrape the inside surface, when
it is set away for several weeks to cure. The vessel is then of a
brown color, brittle but hard, and is ready to be used in cooking.

They sell for from one up to ten cents apiece. The sea-grape
{Coccoloba uvifera) bears clusters of egg-shaped, plum-colored fruits,
about the size of small plums, with a very astringent, rank taste.
They are said to make a good jelly and preserve. The alligator pear
{Persia gratissima) is used extensively as a vegetable, being eaten raw
with salt and pepper. The flesh is yellowish, of a buttery consist-
ency, and mild flavor, somewhat resembling pumpkin. Of the well-
known fruits, the varieties are excellent. The oranges are of
exquisite flavor and good size, though there is only one estate
(Spring Gardens) where orange culture is engaged in to any great
extent. Bananas, known locally as "figs," are of unsurpassed
quality and are grown extensively at Little La Grange and Canaan.
The limes are far better, and, consequently, are used much more than
lemons. The pineapples are of good size and unusually fine flavor,
most of the varieties being yellow-fleshed. There is no reason why
St. Croix should not furnish the New York markets with this fruit,
as it thrives on soil that will not grow cane.

The various insurrections, the abolition of slavery in 1848, the
fall in the price of sugar and cotton after our civil war in America,
and the impoverishment of the soil have diminished the prosperity of
the island, but the future is bright. American ideas and American
energy can reclaim the barren places and make St. Croix one of the
great tropic fruit markets of the world.

BOTANICAL HISTORY.

According to Prof. Ignatius Urban, from whose exhaustive work*
the following historic, biographic and bibliographic account of the
botanical work done upon the island of St. Croix has been compiled,
the study of its flora began about the year 1650 with the investigations
of Jean Baptiste Du Tertre:

1650-56. Tertre Hist. Ant. — Du Tertre: Histoire generale des
Antilles habitees par les Francais, enrichie de cartes et de figures.
Paris, 1667-71, 4 vols. 4°: vol. I (1667), 535 p., 3 tab. ; II (1667),

tab. (Bibl. Krug et Urb.).— Primum produit Parisiis 1654, i vol.
(ex ipso).

The author, Jean Baptiste du Tertre of the Order of Dominicans,
after a long sojourn in French Antilles, issued (1654) a book under

*Symbohc Antillana;, 3 . 1 : 14-152.

Nov. 1902. Flora of the Island of St. Croix — Millspaugh. 447

this same title, but in much shorter form, and so far as natural
history is concerned, only in the nature of a sketch. However, in
1656 he visited the still unknown islands and wrote the present exten-
sive work. Volumes I, III and IV contain a history, from authentic
sources, of the islands St. Christopher, where the governor of the
French Antilles resided, Guadeloupe, Martinique, St. Croix, Marie
Galante, which is accompanied by a map, and also of La Tortue, St.
Martin, St. Bartholemy, Saintes, S. Lucia and Grenada.

Volume II contains the natural history of the islands. A concise
description of the same follows a section with numerous extracts
from the travels of the author, ebb and flow, meteorological observa-
tions, and remarks on the minerals. The greater part of the volume
is given over to the plants, animals, and the inhabitants. Concern-
ing the botanical part, he assures us that he has written nothing
except that which was vouched for b}^ his own hands, eyes, and taste,
and, in fact, his unusually good description and passable illustrations
have received proper recognition from his successors. The plants
are presented with only the French vernacular names. For the most
part it is the fruit trees and useful woods of the Lesser Antilles that
are here for the first time described. The plates give reduced
pictures of some of their habitats. The work has been much used
and pirated from by later authors.

Father Labat of the Dominicans was active on the islands of
Martinique and Guadeloupe, first as a priest and later as Superior and
Vice-Prefect, and in his travels also became more or less intimately
acquainted with Grenada, Becquia, Barbados, St. Vincent, S. Lucia,
Dominica, Saintes, St. Christopher, St. Eustach, St. Bartholemy,
Saba, St. Martin, St. Thomas, St. Croix, Crab Island and San Dom-
ingo. His experiences and keen observations of the land, people, ani-
mals, plants, culture, industry, etc., are arranged chronologically in the
form of a journal of travel. They materially increased the knowledge of

the Antilles in their time. The plants are referred to by their ver-
nacular names, and their properties and uses are carefully described.
The identification of those not figured is possible only in so far as
they are still in use under the local name. The accompanying plates
contain maps of the Gulf of Mexico and the Antilles, Martinique,
Guadeloupe, Barbados, Grenada, San Domingo, St. Christopher,
plans of fortresses, drawings of animals, plants, sugar refineries and
indigo plantations. Many of the plants are well drawn and easily
recognizable, others are somewhat superficially depicted, and still
others are rude and irrecognizable.

In Trevoux's Memoires pour I'histoire des sciences et des beaux
arts, Juillet, 1727, p. 1303-18, a ''Botaniste habitant des isles occi-
dentales de I'Amerique " gives amplifications and corrections to sev-
eral of Labat's descriptions (Abricotier, Ananas, Bois dTnde, Gas-
sier, Cacao, Gommier, Indigo).

1757-91. RoHR, Julius Philipp Benjamin Von (about 1737-93),.
born in Denmark, was a surveyor from 1757-91 on St. Croix,
later chairman of the Provincial Board of Administration, and
also First Lieutenant of Militia. In order to improve cotton cul-
ture on the Danish Islands, he visited for the purpose of study,
beginning in 1786, Jamaica, Porto Rico, St. Thomas, Montserrat,
Guadeloupe, Martinique, Trinidad, Curacao, Sta. Martha, Carth-
agena, Cayenne and Surinam. He sent several hundred plants
collected on the various islands to Prof. Vahl at Copenhagen.
In 1791 he took his departure from St. Croix, and in 1793 the
ship on which he was making the voyage from North America to
Guinea was lost at sea.

With a view of making some preparatory studies for , the above
work, Oldendorp spent from May, 1767, until October, 1768, on the
islands of St. Thomas, St. Croix and St. John. Inasmuch as he was
a great lover of natural history, he took note also of the animal and
plant life, substantially encouraged in the latter by Chief Engineer von
Rohr, who was at that time the best authority on the Caribbean flora.
In the botanical section, vol. i, p. 154-227, are described in an excel-
lent manner, together with their local and botanical names, the econo-
mic and medicinal plants, the fruit trees, the timber and dye woods,
and other rare and remarkable plants.

1780. Ryan, John, M.D., was a plantation owner during the sec-
ond half of the eighteenth century, on Montserrat, and a friend
of von Rohr. He collected on St. Croix and St. John and had
his brother collect for him on Trinidad. On his return he turned
over all his excellently cured specimens, together with flowers
and fruits preserved in alcohol and his notes pertaining to the
collection, to Prof. Vahl of Copenhagen. He died in the begin-
ning of the nineteenth century.

1786-87. Richard, Louis Claude Marie (1754- 1821), born at
Auteuil (France), September 4, 1754, oldest son of Court Gar-
dener Claude R. , and nephew of the keeper of the gardens at
Trianon, left the paternal home because he refused to take eccle-
siastic orders in obedience to his father's wishes, entered the Col-
lege Mazarin, Paris, studied mineralogy, zoology, comparative
anatomy and especially, under Bernhard de Jussieu, botany, and.
besides earned more than his living draughting garden plans. In
1781 he was sent by King Louis XVI, at the instigation of the
Academy of Sciences, to Guayana to extend the range of econo-
mic plants on the French Antilles and to introduce the same into
the Old World. In 1785 he made a journey to Brazil (Para),
and then from February, 1786, until November, 1787, he visited
the islands of Martinique, Guadeloupe, Antigua, Barbados,
Anguilo, St. Croix, Tortola, St. Thomas, St. John, Porto Rico
and Haiti, and then went back to Guayana, returning to France
with his rich treasures from the animal, plant and mineral king-
doms and many valuable sketches, in the spring of 1789. In the
meantime there had been a political change in France, and he
found not only the sovereignty but also the Museum in the hands
of men who did not wish to know anything about his mission, and
furthermore declined to reimburse him the expenses of the expe-
dition, which he had borne out of his own means. This unjust
treatment destroyed his desire to publish his many discoveries,
and he was compelled to resume landscape architecture as a
means of earning his livelihood. Finally, in 1795, when Four-
croy had founded the School of Medicine, he received the pro-
fessorate of botany in the same, established a small botanical
garden and educated a number of real scholars. His publications
were not numerous, and though they were most excellent, they
were not at all comparable, according to the testimony of his con-
temporaries, with the discoveries that he actually made in the
realm of botany and zoology. He died in Paris after a prolonged
illness, June 7, 1821.

den, etc.), 4,464 species, together with a large number of duplicates,
were purchased (1856) by Count Alfred de Franqueville of Paris, who
loaned them to botanists in a most liberal manner for the purpose of
study. In 1891, after the count's death, the herbarium was purchased
by Drake del Castillo who presented a part of it to the Paris Museum.

Guinea in 1783, where he remained until 1786, devoting himself
incidentally to the stud}^ of natural history. His return voyage
took him across America (Columbia) and also to the islands of
St. Croix, St. Thomas, St. John, St. Eustache, Guadeloupe and

1788-1800 West, Hans (1758-1811), son of a preacher, born in
Hindsholm on the island Fuenen (Denmark) in 1758, studied
modern laiiguages in Copenhagen, and in 1788 went to St. Croix,
where until 1800 he was rector of the Christiansted school and
later notary public. Went as consul to Holland in 1802, and
died at Cassel while on his way back from France. He collected
for the most part on St. Croix, but also on St. Thomas, Crab
Island, Porto Rico (whither he made excursions with. Ledru in
1797), and on Martinique. His collections, consisting of both
phanerogams and cryptogams, were sent to Prof. Vahl of Copen-
hagen.

1797. Ledru, Andre Pierre (1761-1825), born at Chantenay, Dept.
Sarthe, near Nantes (France), January 22, 1761, an ecclesiastic
in calling, accompanied as botanist the expedition of Captain
Boudin to the West Indies. The expedition sailed from Havre
at the end of September, 1796, was detained almost six months
on the Canaries, made Trinidad in eight days without having had
much opportunity for collecting, and remained on St. Thomas
from April 29 until July 16, 1797. From here he made a twelve-
day side trip to St. Croix, where he botanized in company with
West. From July 17, 1797, until April 13, 1798, was spent mak-
ing an investigation of the northern and northeastern parts of
Porto Rico, which, like St. Thomas, yielded a rich collection of
living and dried plants, and fruits also. On his return he became
Professeur de Legislation in the Ecole Centrale de la Sarthe in
. Le Mans, founded a botanical garden, and wrote numerous works
on local history, biography and art. He died in Le Mans July
II, 1825.

1814, went to Christiansted, St. Croix, as pharmacist in 1817,
later became assessor of pharmacy at that place, and in 1848
returned to Copenhagen, where he died on July 24, shortly after
his arrival. He collected chiefly on St. Croix, but also on St.

latter position he made two more comprehensive voyages of vis-
itation. In December, 1840, he made a voyage to the islands
St. Thomas, St. Croix, St. John, St. Kitts and Antigua, remain-
ing until July of the following year, and during 1853-54 visited
South Africa. Became bishop in 1853, retired in 1857, and died
February 18, 1875, at Herrnhut. The plants collected by Breutel
on his voyages were mostly cryptogams. He also attended to
the distribution of the cryptogamic part of H. G. L. Reichen-
bach's Flora Germ Exsicc. , beginning with the third century.
Coll. : The first set of duplicate ferns (now in the Leipzig Her-

Veterinary School in 1837, and in 1841, under the patronage of
King Christian VIII, went to Mexico, where he traveled from
February, 1841, until March, 1843. On his outward journe}' he
collected during January, 1841, on St. Croix and Porto Rico, and
on the return voyage, during April, 1843, he spent several weeks
in Cuba. While engaged in working up his extensive collec-
tions he died, comparatively early, on the 29th of October, 1856,
as professor-in-ordinary while director of the Botanical Gardens,

doctorate in 1854, and in 1845 began his expedition to the West
Indies and Central America. He visited St. Thomas, St. Croix
and many other islands of the Lesser Antilles, for example,
Grenada, and later Jamaica. In May, 1846, he repaired to Nic-
aragua and Costa Rica, from whence he returned to Copenhagen
in July, 1848, In 1851 he fitted himself for the position of Pri-
vatdocent in the University, became professor in i860, and died
in Copenhagen, September 3, 1872. The results of his American
travels included zoology, especially the lower marine animals, as
well as the plant world.

1870-74. Eggers, Heinrich Franz Alexander, Baron von (1844),
son of police director Fredrich Baron von Eggers of Schleswig,
born January 4, 1844, attended the Gymnasium at Odense (Den-
mark), later studied under a tutor in Copenhagen, and in 1864,
as officer-aspirant, he entered the Danish army and engaged in
the war with the Germans. At the end of 1864 he took a furlough
and enrolled himself at Laibach in the Austro-Belgian Corps of
the Imperial Mexican volunteers. Arriving at Vera Cruz in

Nov. 1902. Flora of the Island of St. Croix — Millspauoh. 455

April, 1865, he accompanied several expeditions against the
Mexican republicans (Juarists), was promoted to a lieutenancy in
September, 1865, but was made a prisoner of war in Oaxaca,
October, 1866, after a siege of one month. After regaining his
liberty in April, 1867, he made several trips into Southern
Mexico and returned to Denmark in November of the same year.
Early in 1868, as lieutenant, he again entered the Danish service
and was assigned in 1869 to the troops in the Danish West
Indies. In 1870 he was made first lieutenant and in 1879 was
promoted to captain and placed in command of a company. His
garrison was, 1869-72, St. Croix; 1872-73, St. Thomas; 1873-74,
St. Croix; 1874-85, St. Thomas. In 1885 he retired from the
service on a pension, remained in St. Thomas until 1887, and
now lives at Charlottenlund, Denmark.

Eggers began the activity which has been so rich in results for
the knowledge of the flora of the Antilles in 1870 with the investiga-
tion of the island of St. Croix, whose vegetation he described and
enumerated in 1876 in his Flora of St. Croix (cf. Urb. Symb. I, p. 41).
After his transfer to St. Thomas he studied the plant society of that
island and made side trips to Water Island, Crab Island and St. John,
and combined the results of his observations in 1879 in his Flora of
St. Croix and the Virgin Islands (cf. Symb. I, p. 42). In 1880 he
began the distribution of his Flora Indiae Occidentalis exsiccata. This
included not only the plants from St. Thomas, but also those col-
lected on Dominica (1880-83), St. Kitts (December, 1882), eastern
Porto Rico (June, 1881; April, May, 1883), and also those collected
by his assistant on Trinidad in the autumn of 1883. In the months
of April until July, 1887, Eggers, supported by the Berlin Academy
of Sciences, made a journey of investigation and collection to San
Domingo, which extended from Puerto-Plata out over Jarabacoa, the
Monte Barrero Lacumbre, to the Valle Nuevo and the Pico del Valle
(2630 m.) in the Sierra de Cibao (cf. Symb., p. 45). On the return
voyage he visited the vicinity of Cape Haitien in Haiti and the south-
eastern Bahamas, Turks Island (Grand Turk, July 17, 1887), where the
plants peculiar to this island were again discovered. On the follow-
ing voyage Eggers, supported by the Danish Carlsberg fund, investi-
gated the islands St. John and Tortola (December, 1887; January,
1888), and went by way of St. Thomas, Haiti (Jacmel, Port-au-Prince,
Jeremie) to Jamaica, where he collected in the eastern part (Guava
Ridge, Catherine's Peak, etc.) until the end of January, 1888. From
here he turned to the Bahamas, for whose botanical investigation the
British Association of London had extended the necessary means, and
during the month of February and until the middle of March. 1888,
visited Acklins, Fortune, Long, Hog and New Providence island.
Eggers collected in the mountains of eastern Cuba from February
until May, 1889, especially on the Rio Guaso near Guantanamo,
Arroyo gallego, Rio Seco, La Piedra, El Palenquinto. El Jaguey, La
Clarita and Santa Ana Monteverde (830 m.), La Prenda and Caiman-
era. The investigation of the Lesser English Antilles, Tobago,
Grenada, St. Vincent, Bequia and the Barbados was carried on from

456 'Field Columbian Museum — Botany, Vol. 1.

October 20, 1889, until January 31, 1890, and yielded for these as yet
little known (except St. Vincent) islands a comparatively rich result.
This and the preceding voyages were made possible by the liberality
of Consul Leopold Krug. In 1891 Eggers went to Venezuela byway
of the Barbados and Tobago at the expense of the Danish govern-
ment, where he investigated the region around Caracas, especially near
Santa Lucia. Six months during 1891-92 were spent in Ecuador
studying the costal region around Guayaquil and especially near
Balao. In 1893 he went by way of La Guayra and Curacao to Mara-
caibo in Venezuela, to make observations for a report on the asphalt
deposits near S. Timoteo on Lake Maracaibo. From 1893 until 1897
he was in Ecuador, especially in the province of Manabi on the
Hacienda el Recreo near Bahia de Caraquez engaged in agriculture.
He made many interesting discoveries in this hitherto botanically
neglected costal region.

In 1899 he again visited Trinidad, Tobago and Venezuela, in the
last especially the vicinity around Puerto Cabello and Caracas.

Coll.: The collections of phanerogams and seaweeds from St.
Croix (1870-72, 1873-74) were presented to the Botanical Museum,
Copenhagen ; a part is also in Herb. Krug et Urban. The plants
from St. Thomas, Porto* Rico, St. Christopher, Dominica and Trini-
dad (1880-86) were distributed to nearly all the greater botanical
museums and many individuals; they were partly sent out by Eggers
himself (hb. pr. : Nos. 1-1499) to Kew, the American museums, some
also to Copenhagen, and Herb. Krug et Urban, and partly by A.
Toepffer of Brandenburg, who sent out eleven centuries with peculiar
numbering to the remaining museums and private subscribers. The
remainder of the Eggers collection was distributed by Ernst Berge of
Leipzig under a third set of numbers, while the remnants of the
Toepffer herbarium given out by C. Rensch of Berlin were issued,
some under the Toepffer numbers, others under the original Eggers
numbers, while still others received a secondary or b series of num-
bers. These remnants also furnished the twelfth century. In like
manner Eggers also distributed a collection ''Segmenta lignorum Ind.
occid." of about 350 species, also " Fructus et Semina Ind. occid."
about 500 species. The collections of Eggers' later expeditions were
personally distributed and are therefore consistent and reliable; the
best set together with all uniques, so far as the West Indies (except
St. John and Tortola) up to 1890 are concerned, are to be found in
Herb. Krug et Urban. The San Domingo Expedition yielded Nos.
1 500-2861 (San Domingo 1 500-2821, Haiti 2821/^-2845/^ Turks
Island 2846-2861) and went into the herbaria of Kew, Hamburg,

One of the authors had previously visited the Danish West Indies
during February and March, 1892, expressly for the purpose of study-
ing the algal flora, without however neglecting the land vegetation.
When in 1895 the frigate " Fyen " made its trial trip to the W^est
Indies he, together with his colleague, Ove Paulsen, received per-
mission to accompany it in prosecution of his studies. As the result
of their investigations (from December 22, 1895, until February 2,
1896), the above publication appeared: Concerning the vegetation of
the Danish West Indies.

In this work the halophytic vegetation was elaborated by Borge-
sen, and is divided into five groups.

I. The sea vegetation, which notices both the sea phanerogams
and some of the algal societies which occur in that region. 2. The
strand vegetation which is subdivided into the littoral herbaceous
plants of the Pescaprae society, and the more remote from the sea,
Coccoloba-Manchinil society, which includes Coccoloba uvifera, Hip-
pomane Mancinella and a large number of shrubs. 3. The costal
cliff vegetation, with Baccharis dioica as a typical plant. 4. The
mangrove vegetation, to which the author felt justified in adding
besides Rhizophora, Avicennia and Laguncularia, at least so far as
the West Indies are concerned, Anona palustris and Conocarpus
erecta, while he excludes Bucida bi^ceras. In the case of the indi-
vidual species, as under group 2, the various morphological, biologi-
cal and anatomical characters, especially the pneumatophores, are
noticed. He also enumerates the plants of the slimy soil under the
mangroves. 5. The vegetation of the saline clay plains, with Sali-
cornia ambigua and many other species, which, however, also occur
for the most part on the beach, for types.

The copse and forest vegetation is described by Paulsen: (i) the
vegetation of Orkanoen, a small island on the west side of the harbor
of St. Thomas, whose plant-covering consists for the most part of tall
bushes; (2) St. Thomas, and (3) St. John with their richer forests; and
finally (4) St. Croix, whose Croton-thickets, which occur chiefly on
the east side of the island, are treated in detail. He also enumerates

the plant species of these islands and describes the forests of the
northwest side of the island. The second division of Paulsen's work
contains the anatomy of xerophytic leaves.

In a fioristic appendix six phanerogams new to the Danish
islands and Rostrup's fungi and lichens are listed.

The eleven plates, showing vegetational aspects, are after photo-
graphs by Borgesen.

The herbarium of this Museum having come into possession of
thf original and complete series of plants collected in St. Croix by
the last two collectors mentioned above, I have decided to publish
the species in connection with those listed by Baron Eggers in his
Flora of St. Croix and the Virgin Islands. The Rickseckerian sets
contain respectively 750 and 506 sheets of large, representative and
neatly prepared specimens, principally with fruits and fruit sections
attached. Mr. Ricksecker has furnished me with a map of his col-
lecting routes which is here reproduced, and the following letter con-
cerning his work upon the island:

In the summer of 1895, the plan of making a trip to St. Croix.

that island, it occurred to me that I might profitably combine busi-
ness with pleasure. After arrangements had been completed I left
Oberlin, Ohio, and took the steamer " Madiana " of the Quebec S. S.
Co.'s line at New York on October 3rd.

Our journey was enlivened by a severe storm off Cape Hatteras,
but otherwise was without incident. On the gth we reached St.
Thomas, and the next morning arrived at West End, St. Croix, where
I landed, and, after a fifteen-mile drive, reached my destination. The
Moravian mission stations are Friedensberg at West End, Friedens-
feld at Midland, and Friedensthal at Bassin. At the last named sta-
tion my people lived and there I made my headquarters. The mis-
sion is situated just outside the town limits of Bassin, to the west, and
occupies a fine position commanding a magnificent view of the town
and harbor as well as the ocean, with the islands of St. Thomas and
St. Jan plainly visible forty miles away to the north. The mission
house being large, I had all the room necessary for my work.

I confined my attention at first to collecting from the premises
and surrounding hills, but soon began excursions to the shore and
various points of interest, accompanying my father on his pastoral
visits and interesting my young brothers, Frank and Paul, who
became my very efhcient and enthusiastic helpers and who, after I
left the island made a notable collection of their own. The beautiful
scenery; the fine roads bordered for miles with stately coconut palms
and century plants in full bloom; occasional unexpected glimpses of
blue ocean; the steady cool trade-wind; the gorgeous masses of
lantanas, caesalpinas, flamboyant trees, and acacias ; the broad
expanses of feathery, pearl-gray cane plumes ; and the exotic fra-
grance of various flowers made these drives most delightful.
Equipped with a simple dissecting microscope of my own make, a
copy of Grisebach's "Flora of the British West Indies, 1864," Baron
Eggers' "Flora of St. Croix and the Virgin Islands," and a few other
books, I identified my specimens, so far as I was able, as fast as col-
lected. My small number of driers limited the rapidity of collecting,
while the great humidity and saltness of the air at times made the
preserving of specimens a trying task. When once dry it became
imperative to immediately put away the specimens in tight cases, for
in a few hours, if left lying in the sheets, they would absorb moisture
from the air and necessitate again drying. Many of the specimens
changed color in drying. Ipomxa Nil with blue flowers turned pink,
while the flowers of Melochia io/?ientosa, L. , which were pink, turned
blue when dried. Specimens of Bryophylluin grew while in press
and had to be baked in a hot oven before they could be successfully
checked and preserved. The specimens of the Hemionitis palmata^ L.,
when gathered, were completely dried up on the scorched rocky hill-
side where they grew, but after soaking in water they became quite
fresh and were easily pressed.

East of Bassin the island is for the most part either abandoned
or given up to grazing, and many of the roads being little used, travel
is difficult. The same is true of the north coast beyond Salt River.
The massive ruins of old estate mansions and sugar factories tell aa

eloquent story of former prosperity and wealth. Hundreds of acres
in Cotton Valley, east of Bassin, which in the '6o's were covered
with, cotton and cane, are now desolate under a growth of prickly
pear, crotons, lantanas, and other weeds. The reclaiming of the
lands is a difficult process, but the long period of rest has doubtless
made them once more capable of yielding large returns. The forests
that once covered the hills of the east end have disappeared and the
young trees which would naturally spring up are injured by the goats,
so that no forests are likely to exist there. The effect of this forest
disappearance on the rainfall has been marked. Some of the guts
(small streams) near Bassin that were perennial fifty years ago are
now dry during the greater part of the year.

Nearly every day of my stay I made excursions, mostly by car-
riage, penetrating to all parts of the island. Some of the more
notable of those trips were as follows: On January 31 I, visited the
estate of Canaan, where the hospitable owner spent the day with me
in the exploration of Mt. Eagle, the highest point on the island. In
places the soil was shallow and great broken rocks and dense growths
made progress difficult. Large patches of Guinea grass were noted
extending almost to the summit. The view from the top is one of
unsurpassed beauty and commands the whole island. The forest of
the mountain was quite dense in places, while its north side was so
precipitous that it seemed to be almost sheer to the ocean. Several
productive trips were made to Crequis, a lovely narrow valley with a
perennial gut that keeps the spot a mass of verdure. Here ferns
were abundant and here I saw, for the only time, a specimen of the
Silk Cotton Tree, or Jumbee Tree (^Eriodrendron) , in bloom, but it
was impossible to obtain any of the flowers as they were entirely out
of reach. These trees grow to immense size with very thick limbs,
the one at Crequis having been a rendezvous for years of the Obeah
worshipers and of picknickers. The drive from the mouth of the
valley, which begins about one-half mile east of Williams' estate and
extends for a mile or more toward Mt. Washington, is one of the
attractions of the island.

Judith's Fancy, along the east coast where I visited frequently,
is a favorite picnic-ground for Bassin people. Here the black
basaltic cliffs perhaps thirty feet high, which form the coast, abruptly
terminate, and stretching to the northward is a long strip of sandy
beach with shoal water. Just back of the beach is low swamp land
drained by a little sluggish gut.

The drive around the Salt River headlands, far along the north
side, is grand. The road runs for a distance along the edge of a cliff
that drops almost perpendicularly one hundred feet or more to the sea.
It was on this road that my mother and I struck into an abandoned
road that was so narrow that the carriage could barely press through
the dense growth, but after a hard climb we found ourselves on the
top of a range of hills with Canaan at our feet. Our adventure was
witnessed in amazement by the laborers in the fields.

At another time, penetrating still farther westward on the north
side, we ascended six hundred feet by a steep roadway that taxed our

462

energies to the utmost. It was at the top of this ascent that I found
the only specimen of Byrsonwia coriacea. On this occasion we drove
for miles without seeing a human being, and the deer, which are quite
abundant, bounded across our path. Along the rocky ledges grew an
abundance of BaccJiaris Vahlii.

The drive around the south side was of a totally different charac-
ter, comparatively level, with here and there ledges of limestone
where was to be seen growing an abundance of cacti and crotons.
On these limestone ledges Croton disco/or found Along a fiat
stretch was a pasture thickly dotted with specimens of the brilliant
Cassia polyphylia, a species seen nowhere else. In dry thickets grew
abundantly Aloe vulgaris, and along the road, in shallow sandy soil,
was found a single clump of Andropogon Wrightii.

At Midland station a swampy field of black muck soil w^as thickly
covered with Sanseviera Guineensis, Cretan hetulinus and Wedelia huph-
thalmoides . Along a pile of stonework grew Cereus triangularis and
Passiflora suberosa, while along the sandy roadsides grew Plantago
major tropica.

The drives out toward the east end of the island were frequent,
varying in length. Once we penetrated over an unused road far east,
probably within two miles or less of the end of the island. Here we
crossed over to the south side, intending to return by the road there,
but from a hunter we met we learned that the road was impassable,
as the sea washed over it at a certain point. I followed up the south
road till it was lost in undergrowth, finding a large patch of Tribulus
cist aides at the farthest point, near Madam Cartys. The road to West
End was very productive and a number of trips were made. A day
was spent at Little La Grange and two visits made to Spring Gardens.

In August, '96, I packed my specimens, numbering about six
thousand, in lined boxes and proceeded to St. Thomas by the schooner
" Dagmar," which carries mail and passengers between the islands.
Here I was compelled to wait ten days while the steamer " Madiana"
took on the cargo of a condemned vessel. While I did not make any
collections here, I made some interesting trips, one of which was to
the top of the mountain just back of Charlotte Amalia, where I found
a patch several acres in extent covered with Mimosa pudica. I tried
a number of experiments to test the sensitiveness in this species and
the speed of shock transmission. So nearly as I could ascertain, a
slight tap on the stem near the ground instantly collapsed the whole
plant. With my finger I traced my name in the leafy mass, the col-
lapsed plants causing the characters to stand out clearly against the
background of those untouched.

On September 5 we left St. Thomas, touched at St. Croix and
reached New York after being detained four days in quarantine. I
reached Oberlin September 21, and immediately began to label and
distribute my sets. The collecting was carried on in St. Croix after
I left by my two young brothers, under my motheir's supervision.
When they returned to the United States in 1897 they brought with
them about two thousand specimens, among them being a number of
species that I had not obtained in my collecting.

Nov. igo2. Flora of the Island of St. Croix — Millspaugh. 463

Thus far the collections have been disposed of to the followinf^
institutions: Field Columbian Museum, Chicago, original set (about
750 specimens); St. Louis Bot. Gardens; U. S. National Museum,
Washington, D. C. ; Royal Botanical Museum, Berlin, Germany;
Royal Botanical Gardens, Edinburgh, Scotland; Gray Herbarium,
Cambridge, Mass.; Columbia University, New York; Oberlin College,
Oberlin, Ohio.

I have been greatly assisted in my work by the members of my
family and by Rev. Wolters of Midland, Mr. Lawaetz of Little La
Grange, Mr. Frank Lindquist of Bassin, Rev. A. B. Romig of West
End, and many others. In St. Thomas, Rev. Greider was my host.
In the preparation of my notes and manuscript I have had the tire-
less assistance of my wife.

THE LIST.

As noted above, this list has been arranged upon the basis of the
species reported from St. Croix in Baron Eggers' " Flora of St. Croix
and the Virgin Islands," published in 1879. The species not in Baron
Eggers' work are printed here in black faced type ; those that are
found in both the Ricksecker collections and Baron Eggers' list
appear in small capitals; those in Baron Eggers' list not appearing
in the Ricksecker collections are inclosed in brackets [ ] .

Under each species the collecting numbers of Mr. A. E. Rick-
secker's plants appear in parentheses (267) without other designation,
while those of Mrs. Ricksecker are designated (Mrs. R. 267). The
number after the species enclosed in brackets and following Baron
Eggers' name refers to the consecutive numbering of the species in
his list.

The Rickseckerian collections contain a large number of plants
of cultivation, but as these so often become in time adventive or
escape to wide localities, it is considered advisable to include them
in the list.
