In continuation of his voyage to the Dutch West Indian Islands St. Eustatius, Saba and St. Martin, about which particulars are to be found in the first part of the Flora of the West Indian Islands 1 ), the author undertook a second voyage in 19091910 in order to study the flora of the Islands Curasao, Aruba and Bonaire. It was again on the suggestion of Dr. F. A. F. C. Went, Profes- sor of Botany in Utrecht University, that this voyage was under- taken and it is principally owing to his exertions that the fol- lowing corporations gave finantial support: de Maatschappij ter bevordering van het Natuurkundig onderzoek der Nederlandsche kolonien (Society for promoting the Physical investigation of the Dutch colonies), de Koninklijke Academie van Wetenschappen te Amsterdam (Royal Society at Amsterdam) which put the P. W. Korthals fund at my disposal, the Committee for the F. W. van Eeden fund, het Koninklijk Xederlandsch Aardrijkskundig Genoot- schap (Royal Dutch Geographical Society), het Xederlandsch Xatuur- en Geneeskundig Congres (the Dutch Physical and Medical Congress) and het Provinciaal Utrechtsch Genootschap van Kun- sten en Wetenschappen (Provincial Utrecht Society of Arts and Sciences); also the Botanical laboratory contributed towards the expense of transporting the plant collections in exchange for which it received the collections. To all these corporations I wish to express here my sincere thanks. Het Provinciaal Utrechtsch Genootschap van Kunsten en Wetenschappen again subsidized in order to have this flora printed. Besides to the corporations mentioned the author is greatly indebted to Prof. Dr. F. A. F. C. Went and to his Excellency the Colonial Minister for his recommendation to the Governor of Curagao. !) I.

Clergy in the Colony of Curasao. 1 ' --jierially appreciate the very helpful assistance and information :'ore starting on my journey from Prof. J. Boeke, Dr. P. J. van Breemen at Curasao, Mr. W. Versluys at Curagao, 1'astor P. A. Kuwens at Bonaire and Mr. J. H. J. Hamelberg. In the Colony Surinam, where I stayed a fortnight on my out- ward ge I received the kindest help, for which I have to thank His Kxcellency the Governor of Surinam, D. Fock LL. D. and Dr. C. J. J. van Hall. While the other officials of the Agricultural Department often d me, I wish specially to mention Mr. J. B. Wigmann, director of the Government Garden. During my stay on land in British Guyana and Venezuela I also received highly valued help, in Br. Guyana from Dr. Stockdale. I now want to mention the names of all those who made these >rt stays pleasant and comfortable for me. In the first place I am thinking of Mr. A. R. Nyboer, commander with the Dutch Royal West Indian Mail who had given me introductions to the Hon. Agents of this society in their various stations and who had also introduced me to Mr. A. Statius Muller and Mr. H. J. Cohen Henriquez at Curacao, who did so much afterwards to render my stay there pleasant. I further mention more particul- arly Messrs, de Brot, Ferret and de Veer in the coast places of Venezuela. ssrs. G. D. Nieman and N. H. C. van Baaren, commanders with the Dutch Royal W. Ind. Mail also made my voyage along Venezuela pleasant in various ways. On Oct. 16 I arrived at Curagao where I was at once hospitably received by Dr. P. J. van Breemen, whom I wish specially to thank here. The Government Agriculturist Mr. W. Versluys gave me immediately all the information I wanted. I have great pleasure in mentioning the names of all those who assisted my either by offering hospitality or as guides and so Preface. ix made my investigation easy. These are: Messrs. C. C. B. Gorsira of Malpais, Pastor Hendriks of Westpunt, H. van der Linde Schotborgh of Savonet, Joubert of Wacao and Barber, A. Statius Muller of Siberie, I. van Lier of Hato, H. H. R. Chapman of Valentyn, A. Land of Klein-Davelaar, Ch. Debrot of Choloma, J. H. Penha of Koraal Tabak, Henriquez of van Engelen, de Wind of Waterloo, Ph. de Haseth of Patrick, G. Heldewier Vignon of Knip, M. van Uytrecht of St. Kruis, C. S. Gorsira of Klein St. Martha, G. H. van der Linde Schotborgh of St. Jan. On Dec. 20 I went to Aruba. Here I particularly mention Messrs. Ecurie and W. F. Peiliker, Pastor Th. van Sadelhoff, R. J. Beaujon jun., Pastor A. Ellis at St. Cruz, Beaujon of Belaski, Pastor G. Potter of Savaneta, de Veer of Seroe Colorado, C. de Veer of St. Nicolaas. On Jan. 18 I departed to Curasao, from where I left for Bonaire on Jan. 28. There I was from Jan. 30 to Febr. 14 the guest of Pastor P. A. Euwens at Rincon. I further mention here Mr. P. van Teeckelenburg who put his house at my disposal for the remainder of the time I spent on Bonaire. On Febr. 20 I went to Curasao and returned to Holland on Febr. 27. On Bonaire I received valuable help from Mr. Abelgaardo Eleonora, fusilier of the Infantry Corps of Curasao, whom Captain van Hombracht had given me as guide. Data about the vernacular names and the medicinal use of plants were chiefly furnished by Messrs. G. R. van Dussel, Dr. P. de Haseth Moller, F. J. C. Beaujon, J. L. J. 0. Cadieres, de Wind, A. Hermus, H. J. Cohen Henriquez, Th. van Sadelhoff and P. A. Euwens. Mr. Duyfjes gave me much informations about the geology of the islands. In the elaboration of the collected plants I was helped by Prof. I. Urban who gave a number of indications for forms not directly known to me, while Dr. F. Niedenzu, Dr. L. Radlkofer and Mr. 0. E. Schulz named a number of the Malpighiaceae, Sapindaceae and Solanaceae. Dr. H. Hallier determined by far the greater part of the Convolvulaceae. Prof. W. Trelease determined the Agave species and Dr. A. S. Hitchcock some Gramineae. To the Director of the State Herbarium at Leyden I am indebted for the loan of the plants of the Suringar collection. I have particularly to thank Prof. N. L. Britton who sent me the plants collected by himself in Curasao to work out and with whom I had x Preface. an extensive correspondence on forms that were difficult to deter- mine. Thanks to his communications and assistance with the -rminations a number of plants have now been named with greater certainty, than would have been possible without his valuable help which was especially necessary with the Cactaceae. This Flora is divided in Three Parts; whereas the different Parts, Sections and Chapters need no further explanation, a short account of the methods I followed in nomenclature, synonymy and distri- bution of plants is given here. The enumeration of Families and Genera is very nearly given after the order of De Dalle Torre et Harms: Genera siphonoga- marum ad systema Englerianum Conscripta (1908). In a few cases I thougt it better to follow: Urban: Symbolae Antillanae and Urban: Additamenta ad Cog- nitionem Florae Indiae Occidentalis 189297. The names of the species used are mostly drawn from these two papers and Engler und Prantl. : Die naturlichen Pflanzenfamilien up to 1914, Engler: Regnum Vegetabile up to 1914, or from other monographs. Whenever I could not find any name in the above mentioned publications I took the name I thought best after the Internatio- nal rules for Botanical Nomenclature chiefly of Vascular Plants. Wien 1905. (Verb. Int. Bot. Congr. 1805 Wien.). Besides the names thus given I also mention the synonyms that are used in: Grisebach: Flora of the British West Indian Islands, and in a very few cases still another one. I tried to arrive at the greatest completeness possible in giving the data about the names thus used, and I also mentioned the pages where the plants occur in : Grisebach : Flora of the British West Indian Islands. To every plant is added the name of the Dutch West Indian Windward Island where it is found in this order: Curagao, Aruba, Bonaire. I have mentioned as much as I could find about the distribution of the plants in all parts of the world, and these data are taken from the following publications in this order: Urban: Symbolae Antillanae, and Additamenta ad Cognitionem Preface. xi Florae Indiae Occidentalis (189297), Engler: Regnum vegetabile and Engler und Prantl: Die Naturlichen Pflanzenfamilien, newer Monographs and Jackson : Index Kewensis. For the abbreviated names see under Literature. Whenever I could not find that a plant was known in other parts of the world besides the Antilles, then the names of all the Islands where it is found are enumerated; I have added the name Margarita" to the plants occurring in the flora of the Islands of Margarita and Coche by Johnston. The Systematic Part consists of the plants belonging to all the collections mentioned in Chap. 11, p. 116. The plants collected in the different islands are thus given : col- lection Boldingh in the order of the day of collecting, and the names of the other collectors are given in chronological order. Not all the vernacular names people told me are given here, but the names I have given in this Flora are used without any doubt. Whenever a plant struck my attention although I did not think it necessary to collect it, I made some notes about it; these notes are also to be found in this Flora, printed with small type. As to the flowering and fruiting time of the plants I did not think it necessary to mention with every plant whether I col- lected flowers or fruits as the greater part of the plants have been collected with flowers. I wish to draw attention to the fact that I have tried to render also this Flora of the Dutch West Indian Islands as complete as possible, both by what my own investigations have taught me and what I could find elsewhere. Only the genus Melocactus has not been studied with the same care, as I was sure I could not add anything to the work done by Suringar on this head by the data I could bring together with- out giving too much time to it. So I refer to the studies of F. W. R. Suringar on Melocactus and those of J. Valckenier Suringar. Botanical Laboratory of the University in Utrecht. 1913. Additions. The plant mentioned on pg. 3 as Andropogon brevifolius Sw. has been studied by Mr. V. Nash, who gave it the name of Schizachyrium curasavicum sp. nov. Annual. Stems 12 dm. tall, branched, glabrous ; leaf-sheaths smooth and glabrous, keeled ; blades up to 8 cm. long, 3 4 mm. wide, flat, linear, gradually narrowed above to an acute point, glabrous on the keeled lower surface, the upper surface sparingly tuberculate-hirsute with long hairs; spathes 23 cm. long; race- mes about 2 cm. long, the internodes oblique at the deeply cup- shaped apex, these and the pedicels appressed-hirsute with long hairs below on the back, the internodes long barbate at the base ; sessile spikelets 5 6 mm. long; first scale involute, appressed- hirsute with long hairs, long-acuminate, strongly 2-nerved at the apex, these nerves and the intermediate ones very faint below; flowering scale hyaline, delicate, cleft to below the middle, the awn 812 mm. long, the tightly spiral deep brown column about as long as the yellowish subula; pedicellate spikelet about 1.5 mm. long, with a scabrous awn about 3 mm. long.

A diffuse, branched annual; stems about 1 m. long, slender, prostrate, soon straw-coloured, sparingly hirsute; stipules small, subulate, about 2 mm. long, hirsute; leaves short, 1 2cm. long; leaflets mostly 3 pairs, or on some of the branches only 2 pairs, obliquely oval, 3 10 mm. long, mucronate, denticulate, yellowish- green, glabrate above, hirsute beneath, the hairs in age with pustulate bases; peduncles 5 mm. long or less; sepals subulate, about 3 mm. long; petals not seen; fruit strigose, body 2 3mm. high; beak about 1 mm., truncate conic, broader than high ; nutlets when ripe dark-brown, with small, but rather acute tubercles on the back, strongly reticulate on the faces, with rather large and deep faveoles. The fruit of this species resembles most that of Kallstroemia brachy- stylis Vail, of Southwestern United States and Northern Mexico, bul lln'lu-aU is still shorter and thicker, the tubercles smaller but rather more arulr and *) Dr. Rydberg has named my Kallstroemia species and \\a~- so to give me his description of K. curta n. sp. 46 Zygophyllaceae Simarubaceae. the reticulations stronger. It is also characterized by its short leaves, few, small and crowded leaflets, short peduncles, and hairs with pustulate bases.

SECOND PART HISTORICAL HISTORICAL CHAPTER I HISTORICAL SKETCH. The islands Aruba and Bonaire have rarely been visited by botanists; from Curagao several collections exist. In the Dutch botanical literature I did not see other publications except those mentioned in this Chapter. /. Urban, Symbolae Antillanae, mentions that J. Ph. B. von Ruhr (about 1737 1 793) collected in Curagao and that also F. Bredet/u //< r (1758 1839), J. Read and H. F. A. Baron von Eggers (1893) visited Curasao. For the collections of these persons I refer to Ch. II. Later botanists who visited the colony Curacao are: Prof. Dr. W. F. R. Suringar 18841885. Prof. Dr. F. A. F. C. Went 1901. Miss A. Lens 1907. Dr. I. Boldingh 19091910. Prof. Dr. N. L. Britton and Dr. J. A. Shafer 1913, while Aschenberg and W. Versluys made collections as inhabitants of Curacao and Dr. P. J. van Breemen has been especially meri- torious by accurately studying the marine phanerogamous plants. Their work as well as the collections of the other persons mrn- tioned are treated in Ch. II. About the results of these investigations and collections tlu- following may suffice. An account of Suringar's journey, published in tin- lv>n. Aardr. Gen. (Royal Dutch Geogr. Soc.) Series II, Part 11 and 111 (1885 1886) contains an introduction; the publication lias not been continued beyond the first 50 pages and only a small part of the flora has been described. Published in the Verslagen en Verhandelingen d.-r Con. Academie van Wetenschappen te Amsterdam (Proc. Royal Acad. Ai. .mi) 8 114 are articles on the Melocacti of the Dutch West Indian Islands. Of these W. F. R. Suringar and J. V. Suringar published the following series: IT. F. R.

The other collections hat not been used by authors yet; they are treated in this flora together with Suringar's collection. In the older literature on the Dutch W. I. Islands something is found on the flora there. With real pleasure I read and re-read after my journey Teenstra's work *), in which some 90 plants are des- cribed in a manner which for a non-botanist is very sufficient. From most of the descriptions the plants may be recognised, especially since their wellknown indigenous names are given. Like in Teenstra's work much attention is paid to the medi- 1) M. D. Teenstra: De Nederlandsche West Indische eilanden in derzelver tegenwoordige toestand. Amsterdam 1836 1837. 115 cinal use of many plants in Simon's book L ) which also gives an extensive list of vernacular and Latin plant names, composed by Dr. N. Anslyn, military physician. That in such a list many inac- curacies in the determinations occur is obvious. I also became aequainted with a publication by Hnrtla< 118 A large portion of the Suringar collection has been deter- mined by Prof. I. Urban and many plants from it are mentioned 111 his Symbolae Antillanae. Collection Aschenberg. In the herbary of the Botanical Laboratory of het University at Utrecht is a fairly large collection of plants, gathered in Curasao by Aschenberg. I have not succeeded is obtaining nearer infor- mation about it. It will be seen from the Systematical part of this Flora that a great many of the species, found by Suringar and myself, have also been collected by Aschenberg. Collection F. A. F. C. Went. A number of plants has been collected by Prof. Dr. F. A. F. C. Went during his stay in Curagao in 1901. In the Systematical list they are indicated by the name Went. Collection Miss A. Lens. In 1907 Miss Lens collected a number of plants in Curagao; this small collection is conspicuous by its fine specimens, since Miss Lens could take much time in drying them. They are chiefly ruderal plants and mentioned in the list by the name Lens. Collection W. Versluys. In 1907 Mr. W. Versluys, Government Agriculturalist made a collection of plants, indicated in the list as Versluys. It con- tains especially grasses. Collection I. Boldingh. As in the introduction to this Flora an account is given of my investigation of the Flora of the D. W. I. Islands, it may suffice here to mention the places where I stayed and from where I undertook expeditions. They are given in the same order as the expeditions themselves ; for nearer information and for the meaning of the abbreviations in the Systematical Part I refer to the expla- natory notes of the maps.

Collection N. L. Britton and J. A. Shafer. Prof. Dr. N. L. Britton and Dr. J. A. Shafer visited Curasao in March 1913 and collected some 250 plants. Through the kindness of Dr. Britton the present writer has been able to study nearly all these plants personally, so that this recent collection could be incorporated. The sites mentioned show that the following spots were visited by the above mentioned gentlemen: Willemstad and environs, Rif, Piscaderabaai, Mount Pleasant, St. Martha, St. Kruis, Ascencion, Wacao, Patrick, St. Peter, St. Jorisbaai, Caracasbaai. Of nearly all plants doublets are found in the herbary of the Botanical Laboratory at Utrecht. It in possible that plants from Curasao are also present in a few foreign herbaries. It appears, namely, from /. Urban, Symbolae 121 Antillanae, III 1902, that the following persons visited Curagao and collected plants in the various islands: J. Ph. B. von Rohr (about 17371793) visited Curasao after 1786; he sent plants from the Antilles to Prof. Vahl at Copenhagen. It is possible that also in the Banks Herbary in the British Museum, in the Martius Herbary at Brussels and in the Wildenow Herbary at Berlin a number of plants from Curagao are found. F. Bredemeyer (17581839) visited Curagao about 1787; his col- lections are in the K. K. Hofmuseum at Vienna and in the her- bary of the Botanical Museum at Berlin. J. Read also collected in Curagao; his collections are in the Academy of Nat. Science at Philadelphia; West-Indian plants also in the Krug und Urban Herbary at Berlin. H. F. A. Baron von Eggers visited Curagao in 1893 ; it is not known to the present author whether he also collected plants there. It did not seem advisable to spend time on a search for these plants, since in all probability this would not result in any i, information. From N. J. Jacquin, Selectarum stirpium Americanarum historia (1763), appears that at that time some sixteen plants from Curagao were already known, while also in Linn. Spec. (1753) a number of data about Curacao plants are spread. THIRD PART PHYTOGEOGRAPHICAL Section A. Orological, Geological and Meteorological PHYTOGEOGRAPHICAL A. Orological, Geological and Meteorological CHAPTER I GEOLOGICAL AND OROLOGICAL NOTES. Introduction. When preparing niy journey to the three Leeward Islands I could only avail myself of the Geological and Orological data from K. Martin, Bericht fiber eine Reise nach Niederlandisch West Indien, Leiden 1887. At the time of my visit the Government was carrying out trian- gulations on the three islands and also preparing a topographical map of Curagao. Besides a general sketch-map of the roads on Curagao, given me by Mr. Zelle, Head of the Public Works Department there, and a sketch-map of a part of Aruba, given me by Mr. R. J. Beaujon, I had no means of orientation in the three islands. The lack of maps made itself still seriously felt in 1910 (i. e. 23 years after the publication of Martin's book); hence my topogra- phical determinations are mostly based on local information. During the preparation of this flora the Topographical map of CuraQao, on a scale 1/200.000 has been finished; this excellent map has still been helpful. Through the kindness of Prof. Grut- terink I obtained a map of Aruba after the measurements of captain Lens. In order to get an impression of the size of the different islands and of their mutual situation I used the map by H. M. van Strtiate ! ). !)

Januari 126 About the three small maps at the end of this Flora need only be said that the finding-places are given as exactly as possible; it seemed only necessary to indicate the border of the calcareous territories. The different abbreviations are explained in the exten- sive list of the sites. While for more detailed information 1 refer to the work by K. Martin: Bericht iiber eine Reiae nach Niederlandisch West Indien 1887 and 1888, from which the greater part of what fol- lows has been derived, a short account many here suffice. Curasao. Of the terminal points of Curagao Westpunt lies at 69 11' W. Long, and 12 23' N. Lat. and Punt Canon at 68 49' W. Long, and 12 3' N. Lat.; the greatest length of the island is 58 kilo- metres, its surface + 450 square kilometres. The long-drawn island is a hilly country, the hills consisting of diabase or being of cretaceous origin, the whole being surrounded by a layer of a coral-limestone formation. On the narrower part of the island the nothern and southern coral-limestone masses join and reach there the considerable height of 90 M. The inland hills are in East Curagao lower than in the West and give a general impression of a low undulating hilly country; the tops are not much higher there than 60 M., as a rule; the high top nearer the North side (Ronde klip) is the only inland hill which is covered with a coral mass. It is 130 M. high. The calcareous territory of East Curasao reaches a height of 60 M. in some places of the North coast, on the South coast it is much lower and only in the Tafelberg (St. Barbara) reaches a height of 200 M. This Mount Barbara with its gentle slope towards the sea and abrupt vertical termination towards the interior is the type of the many chalk ridges at the South side of Curagao. From Seroe Seinpost a large plain extends eastwards and also round the Schottegat we find a fairly large plain, forming a low hilly country to the East and extending to the West as far as Mont Plaisant. The chalk ridge, extending along the North coast from Schottegat to the neighbourhood of Mont Plaisant, reaches 70 metres in some places. At the South coast the chalk ridge is more interrupted in these same parts and isolated mountains like Veerisberg and-Seroepretoe are found as chalk rests. (+ 140 M.). In the middle of the island a high chalk ridge extends from 127 Mont Plaisant to beyond the estate Siberie and reaches its hig- hest point in Seroe Kloof and Seroe Dukoe. From here to St. Kruisbaai and Playa Grandi a hilly country ex- tends, which only in a new places (Dokterstuim reaches 130 M. Near Anthonieberg (160 M.) a hilly country of greater height be- gins, forming the centre of the region North of St. Kruisbaai and Anthonieberg; we find there the complexes Tafelberg, 230 M.. the top of which consists of chalk, and Christoffelberg, with ramifications extending to Westpuntbaai and St. Kruiskiui. Anthonieberg, Tafelberg and Christoffelberg are, excepting a few coast mountains, the only heights in West Curasao which may be properly called mountains ; they are the only ones which stand more or less alone. Christoffelberg is 372 M. high and has slopes that cannot be ascended; a road, consisting of sharp prominent rocks, winds from Savonet to the top. All other heights on West Curagao, on the other hand, are only separated by slightly inclined and gently undulating grounds. The coast mountains, consisting of chalk ridges which surround the whole island, descend on the North coast everywhere in terraces, whereas on the South coast more gently sloping plains are chiefly found. Valleys, perpendicular to the coast, often cut the chalk ridges into isolated mountains. On the South coast of AVest Curagao, e. g. near Knip, the chalk ridge is not so high. The perpendicular inland wall is not seen there and the calcareous mass is covered with fragments of the rocks, forming the mountain complex. The hills of East Curagao are mostly of a brown red colour and where vegetation is scarce the weathered stone is seen at the surface in small fragments. The same may be observed about the Eastern middle part. West Curagao is generally more grown over and less stone is found there at the surface. Only in all plantations and in their immediate vicinity a more fertile soil is found; the plantations (,,hofjes") are mostly situated near the large inland waters. Aruba. The West point of the island lies at 70 4' W. Long, and 12 37' N. Lat.; the East point at 69 51' W. Long, and 12 :M' N. Lat. The greatest length of the island is :\-2 kilonu-tivs, its surface + 170 square kilometres. We man represent it a fairly large plain of quartz-diorite, rising slowly towards the 128 middle and highest in the North and which in the North East even develops hills. At the centre of this quartz island a diabase triangle rises, formiug a complex of hills which is especially con- spicuous in the North. The quartz-diorite part eastward of the line Belashi - - Cashuntie is still partly covered with quaternary riff-chalk, although not nearly to such an extent as is indicated by Martin in his map. There are fairly high hills of quartz-diorite (Paloe Marga 78 M., Seroe Preto 61 M.) between Savaneta and Jamanota and this rock also rises to the surface in many places between Savaneta and Fontein. Part of the South coast of West Aruba is occupied by a large broad seam of riff-chalk, which in some places (Boeroa- koe 21 M.) reminds one of the limestone hills on the South coast of Curagao. The Canashito is a more inwardly situated limestone ridge. From the plain of West Aruba rises isolated the conical Hooiberg, 164 M. Also the Seroe Plat, 94 M., is an isolated moun- tain and is surmounted by a calcareous table-land. The diabase hilly complex, extending over a territory, bordered by lines from Matavidiri to Belashi, from there to Boca Prins and then along the North coast to Matavidiri, has a number of high tops, among them Ariekok 175 M. and Jananota 188 M. From these tops the country slowly descends to the South and West and the whole landscape is dominated by cup-shaped hills, separated by gently sloping valleys; in some places we find per- pendicular walls. On the North coast we meet in a few places the same limestone terraces which exist on the West coast of Curasao. Bonaire. The West point of the island lies at 68 12' W. Long, and 12 14' N. Lat., the most Southern point at 68 24' W. Long. and 12 13' N. Lat. The greatest length of the island is 36 kilo- metres, its surface about 240 square kilometres. It consists of a quaternary limestone formation, pierced in two places by moun- tainous complexes of cretaceous origin, diabase and glimmer por- phyrite. A limestone mountain-range of semi-circular shape separates the Rincon plain and the part to the West of this latter from the other non-calcareous part, which extends over a much larger surface than Martin's map shows. The remaining part of the island East of this limestone complex 129 consists entirely of limestone, with various table-lands and partly covered with fragments of the other rocks, forming the foundation of the island. Also the North and West margin of the Rincon plain and the mountainous complex of Slagbaai is surrounded by a narrow coral-limestone mass, which is particularly broad South of Rincon and descends in terraces to the sea; in the West this mountain ridge is repeatedly divided into isolated mountains by steep clefts. The high chalk-terrace Langeberg determines the shape of the island ; the next terrace extends from Langeberg in all directions to about 2 kilometres from the sea, except in the South, where the third terrace appears a little South of Lac, following aW. E. line. The remaining part of the island consists, like the circumference of Klein Bonaire, of a lower chalk formation. The mountain com- plex in West Bonaire has its highest top in the Brandaris, 240 M. From this mountain and the Karakao, 158 M., situated a little more to the N. E., two mountainranges proceed in a S. E. direc- tion, consisting of round cup-shaped hills with a few apices and ending in the Joewa and Makakoe. Besides the large valley of Rincon, bordered to the West by the Brandaris complex, to the South by the high chalk ridge and to the North by the lower chalk ridge we find in East Bonaire a large plain, extending from Karakao to the coast. General notes. On account of the occurrence of eruptive rocks in the islands Curaqao, Aruba and Bonaire Sievers l ) is of opinion that these islands must be considered to form one complex with Goajira, which in its turn would cohere with the Sierra Neveda de Santa Martha and extend over the first mentioned islands as far as Los Rocques. When discussing the vegetation we shall see that a few plants occurring in Santa Martha are found in the three islands, forming the subject of this Flora. It should be noted that Aruba is separated from the other islands by a sea-depth of 2000 M. and falls quite within the coast line of Venezuela where the depth is 200 .M . Also the isle of Margarita lies inside the coast line of 200 -M. depth; contrary to the group Aruba, Curasao, Bonaire, it consists of archaic rocks and corresponds entirely to the continental land of Arya and Paria. *) W.

About the Dutch Leeward Islands not much more is known than that a strong N. E. monsoon blows there and that the annual rainfall is usually very small. The influence of the winds is noticed in the outward appearance of the landscape ; the tops of the trees are always stretched in a N. E. S. W. direction, unless they stand in protected places. This causes these often very poorly looking trees to have a pecu- lair appearance; the wind seems to be so strong that at the exposed side they have hardly any leaves. The temperature of the islands varies from 24 to 29 C. The annual amount of the rainfall remains far behind that of the three Dutch Windward Islands and very dry years have been observed.

See on this point Third Part, Section C. 10 THIRD PART Section C. The vegetation of Curasao, Aruba and Bonaire CHAPTER I NOTES ON THE ASPECT OF THE VEGETATION OF CURACAO, ARUBA AND BONAIRE. The general impression of the vegetation of the islands Curacao, Aruba and Bonaire is that of a dry country, where thorny shrubs and cactuses predominate and more or less compete with each other. When, e.g. on Bonaire we climb one of the hills of the Western part, we see there in their purest, intact condition the pretty thick bushes of shrubs, from which tree-shaped Cereus species rise to a great height. Since everywhere in the three islands a strong N.E. monsoon blows incessantly, the climate is rather dry and there is generally not much variation between high and low, also the vegetation has everywhere a rather uniform aspect. Excepting a few less exposed parts and the higher tops of Curasao and Bonaire, the whole vegetation may be said to have a more or less xerophile character; in many places where the soil is covered bij hardly any humus, as on the numerous limestone table lands, it becomes a very poor vegetable cover, made up chiefly of Cactaceae, some Rubiaceae and Euphorbiaceae with sparse Gramineae ; a scanty cover is also found on the diabase hills in the East of Curagao and in the Northern middle part of Aruba, where a few Gramineae, a poor Corchorus and Heliotropium shrubs form the widely scattered vegetation. In the more sheltered parts or where more humus is found and cattle does not graze off everything, the whole surface is covered with rather low shrubs and low trees, among which especially Leguminosae prevail; nearly everywhere the soil is clearly visible and not covered by a connected vege- tation. In the lower parts, in the neighbourhood of the .Hofjes", meadows are often found and the plant-cover is more coherent. In the sheltered parts tree-growth is more prominent an Miinchen 1875.
