Excerpt from Flora of Jamaica, Containing Descriptions of the Flowering Plants Known From the Island, Vol. 5
The present volume continues the systematic account of tho flowering plants of Jamaica to the end of tho free-petaled Dicotyledons. The description of the Garryace? is appended, with a reference to the position which it should occupy in the light of more recent knowledge of its floral structure. Volume VI., in course of preparation, will contain tho account of the sympetalous families.
As in the case of the previous volume, the printing has been spread over several years.
We are again indebted for the loan of specimens to the Government of Jamaica, and to various institutions and individuals, especially to the Directors of the Royal Botanie Gardens, Kew and Edinburgh, the Bristol Museum, the Naturhistoriska Riks-Museum at Stockholm, and the New York Botanical Garden. Special thanks are due to Mr. Cecil Norman, who made a short collecting trip to Jamaica, and also helped in the elaboration of the families Turnerace?, Combretace?, Onagrace?, Araliace? and Umbellifer?.
As in the previous volumes, the drawings for illustrations have been made under our supervision by Mr. Percy Highley.
