K. Amaman 1964 Taka Atoll, Marshall Islands with many young plants of both. This area is very open and has a ground cover consisting mainly of Triumfetta procumbens and a red-stemmed upright herb, possibly Hemuya. Near the center of the island are four small huts without walls used by the natives from Litirik when they come here to harvest copra. This area has perhaps the most varied plant life, with scattered lepturus, crabgrass, Dimbriostylis and Boerhavia (diffusa? - arrow shaped leaves) and some fern + portulaca. South of this there occur patches of lepturus, Dimbriostylis & Boerhavia. Also in this zone are Scaevola & Masserchmidia, together with many seedlings, scattered along the entire stretch, and a large tree with broad round leaves and fragrant tubular white flowers (Morinda? Quattbuda?) which occurs only near the ends. More to the interior lies a belt of denser coconut which does not reach the ends of the island. There are many fewer Pandanus in this area. The ground cover is taller and denser, deeper green, consisting principally of fern and Hemuya? with several other shrub species, possibly including Terminalia & Suriana, and Scaevola up to 6' in height. Seaward of this zone there is mixed forest
