PR/ENUNCI>E BAHAMENSES — II.

CONTRIBUTIONS TO A FLORA OF THE BAHAMIAN ARCHIPELAGO.

CHARLES F. MILLSPAUGH, M.D.

Since the issue of the first of these papers* the co-workers upon the
Flora of the Bahamian Archipelago have continued their investigations as
outlined in that publication and have extended the survey to embrace
Andros, Eleuthera, Little San Salvador, Cat Island, Conception Island,
Rum Cay, Watling's, Atwood's Cay (Samana), Long Island, Great Ragged
Island, Crooked Island, Fortune Island, Turk's Islands and the Caicos
and Cay Sal Groups.

The collections have been increased to some 12,000 sheets and em-
brace the field work of the following collectors in the localities indicated
under each:

Brace — Mr. Louis J. K. Bra(?e, in addition to the field work outlined on
page 138, has been commissioned by the New York Botanical Garden
and this Museum to make three further explorations. From these he
has returned over 1,800 numbers as follows: Rum Cay (3919-3993);
Fortune Island (3994—4179); Acklin's Island (4260—4471); Crooked
Island (4533-4776); and Andros (4876-5377 and 6657-7139). In the
Andros work he not only traversed the East side but also made his
way around to the difficult swash region of the West coast, and pene-
trated the dividing channel across the southern third of the Island.
Mr. Brace has also continued his search for interesting plants on New
Providence (7141— 7161 and 7905—7910). Our collections of his
plants have been further enriched through securing his personal set
of the series he collected in 1886 which formed the basis of Gardiner
& Brace's Plants of the Bahama Islands.f

Britton 6^ Millspaiigli — Dr. N. L. Britton and the author, in addition to
the field work outlined on pages 139—140, undertook, in 1907, a very
exhaustive exploration of the Out Islands, embracing the following
localities: Eleuthera, from the Glass Window to Harbor Island
(5376-5404) ; Glass Window to Gregorytown (5405-5440) ; Governor's
Harbor and vicinity (5441-5542); Rock Sound and vicinity (5543-

Island and remained there, as a base, while working that island and
the extreme north end of Eleuthera (6370-6527). Returning to New
Providence she did further discriminating field work on that island
(6529—6656) while awaiting the return of the Out Island Expedition.

Hitchcock — Prof. Albert S. Hitchcock, see page 141.

Through a later purchase of Prof. Hitchcock's " Florida Her-
barium " this Museum secured 133 duplicate sheets of his Bahamian
collections, these are in addition to his original collection which is
still a loan to this Museum by the Missouri Botanical Garden.

expedition he collected 4 days on New Providence; 2 on Cat Island;
a part of one day on W^atling's; 2 days on Crooked Island; 2 on
Fortune Island, and a day on Great Inagua. His collecting was
done independently from that of Prof. Hitchcock, who accompanied
him. The first set was deposited in the herbarium of the University
of Pennsylvania; the second, comprising 162 sheets, he has kindly
placed in the herbarium of this Museum.

Wight — Mr. Alex. E. Wight, under the patronage of the Gray Herbarium,
Cambridge, Mass., made a Bahamian collection of 281 numbers from
December, 1904, to May, 1905. He collected on New Providence and
Flog Island (1-226 and 271—274), and on Andros at Mangrove Cay,
Fresh Creek, Calabash Bay, and Small Hope (227-270). The result-
ing plants were determined by the author and the initial set retained
at this Museum (with the exception of about six numbers in the
Orchidaceae which are in the herbarium of Prof. Oakes Ames).
Duplicate sets have been deposited in the Gray Herbarium and the
herbarium of The New York Botanical Garden. [This paragraph
should substitute that concerning Mr. Wight's collections on page
142.]

return to Nassau : six days collecting on New Providence (8168-
8247, 8323-8343, 8370-8413, 8434-8436) and four on Hog Island
(8248-8322, 8344-8369, 8414-8433). The collections are deposited

Croton Cascarilla.

On account of the doubt that has surrounded this species, as well as
the interest in Cascarilla bark economically, it has been the object of
special investigation by all of our collectors. No plant agreeing with
the plate of Catesby has been found. \Vherever we have seen the bark
gathered for the market, or for native use, it has been called Sweetwood
bark and was taken from the stems and branches of Croton eluteria
(L.) Sw. {C/uiia eluteria Linn.). Linnaeus hiniself says, in his Floia

July, 1909. Pr/enunc. Baham. — Millspaugh. 307

Zeylanica, that Sweet bark and Cascarilla are the same; and in his
Materia Medica that Cascarilla bark is the Ricinoides elaeagni folio of
Catesby. Catesby says, in the place referred to by Linnaeus (Caro-
lina 2:46),"^// Ricinoides Aelea^ini folio. The llathera bark. These
shrubs grow plentifully on niost of the Bahama Islands; seldom above
ten Feet high, and rarely so big as a Man's Leg" etc. On pagexxxviii
he refers to the natives collecting llathera bark as a means of support,
and to the fact that Cascarilla bark is another common name just as
frequently used among the natives.

The remarks of Catesby, his description, and the references of
Linnaeus all indicate plainly that he depicts in his plate 46 the plant
from which the common product is gathered. This must bear the
name Croton eluteria (Linn.) Sw. As to the drawing, that has proved
so misleading to all authors since its appearance on account of the
narrow leaves and long petioles depicted, one need only examine his
plates 40 (Rhus Metopium) and 42 (Jacaranda caerulea) of vol. i, to
be assured of his inaccuracy in the matter of proportions.

There remain not the least doubt but that Linnaeus' Clutia Cascarilla
is synonymous with his Clutia Eluteria, and that his O oto/i Cascarilla
of the second edition of the Species Plantarum, and Bennett's Croton
Cascarilla of the Journal of the Linnean Society, 4:30, i860, (of which
I have had the opportunity to examine the type) are synonymous with
ihe Croton linearis of Jacquin.

The synonomy of the two species is as follows:

*Linnaeus draws his description of this species from Catesby's plate 46. vol. ii, and errs in his
statement "Habitat in Carolina." Catesby says "Bahama."

We had several opportunities, on the north end of Watling's Island,
to compare living specimens of this species with P. bahamensis
Millsp.** The leaves of P. undata were, in every case, strongly wavy
throughout their length, while those of P. bahamensis were always
plane. P. undata is a much larger shrub and has deeper green leaves.

A climbing shrub 2-3 m. high with a strong odor of fenugreek.
Leaves 2—2.5 c'^^- 5~7 ni'"- broad, petioles 4 mm. long.

It differs strongly from C. fulva Rich, the type of which has ovate-
lanceolate acuminate sharply dentate leaves up to 10 cm. long and
3.5 cm. wide (fide Briquet) ; from C. ferruginea Sw. which has lanceolate
membranous leaves also dentate or dentate-serrate; and from C. cubensis
Urban which has ovate or elliptic-ovate leaves woolly beneath (not
stellate) 3 to 6 cm. long, 1.5 to 3.5 cm. broad and are subtruncate or
rotund at the base.

Shrubbery edge of a rocky plain back of the settlement of Port Howe,

coppice back of The Point, ibid. §8ig ; and in the edge of a coppice
over the hill East of the last station, ibid.^gij type. Prof. Hitchcock's
specimens were collected at or near the first station mentioned above,
in October, 1890. Mr. Brace also returns the species from a savanna
on the west side of Andros Island across from Mastic Point (7/00),
and from a pine barren near Mastic Point itself {6g6^^\ — Endemic.

Since I included this species under C. fulva Rich, in Praenuncia-I,
I have had the kind assistance of Professors C. deCandolle, Le Compte
and Briquet in establishing its status through comparisons of our
material in their herbaria, Prof. Briquet has the type of Richard's C.
fulva in Linden's Cuban 2066 and has favored me with a sketch of the
same which satisfies me of my error in first considering our material to
be that species. Prof. Robinson, Gray Herbarium, Cambridge, Mass.?
has also kindly loaned this Museum the Wright sheets of Callicarpa,
from Cuba, from each of which our species is distinct.
Solanum didymacanthum Millsp. Field Mus. Bot., 2: 183. 1909.

After persistent search Dr. Britton succeeded in finding this species,
both in flower and ripe fruit, on Columbus' Point, near Port Howe, Cat
Island, Prof. Hitchcock's and Prof. Rothrock's original station. The
doubtful mark may now be removed from line 12 of the original
description reading: "corolla alba (?)"; and the words "Bacca ignota"
are to be replaced by: Fructae sessilae globo^ae aurantiaceae trans-
lucidae basi et apice saepe compressis sepalis persistente non longiore.
Cestrum pallidum Lam. Encycl., 1:688. 1783.

One of Prof. Hitchcock's Cat Island sheets, recently secured by this
Museum, is this species. The two sheets in the herbarium of the
Missouri Botanical Garden are, however, C. bahamense Britton.
