Long, C. R. 1964 root sprouts evident in areas which have been washed out. Scaevola seedlings were observed sprouting in the beach sand. On the interior of the island the plants of this genus tend to a flattened growth due in part to the large number of perching noddies, and nesting boobies and frigates. The Scaevola on the interior often is associated with Eragrostis and Boerhaavia. 4. Nama grows in sand on the south, east and northeast sides of the island. The best stands are found on gently sloping sand areas or/and on coral strands on the southeast and northeast shores. Many of the larger plants are in flower while those intermediate in size and seedlings are non-flowering. Flowers are white. Nama is found associated with Boerhaavia.-forming a strand association. 5. Portulaca oleracea is found growing in sand near the outer periphery of the islands. This Portulaca has large yellow flowers - unusually large for oleracea but the habit of the stems and leaves are oleracea and tend to be quite large. This plant may possibly represent a hybrid between P. oleracea and P. lutea. Many seedlings observed on the beach some below the high tide line. 6. This species is found as a low growing shrub on the interior part of of the island and associated with Eragrostis, Boerhaavia and Ipomoea. 7. Sicyos sp. is prominent as a vine clambering over the Scaevola shrubs 8. Boerhaavia is present in almost every square yard on this island. Often sending upright stems above the Scaevola or Eragrostis. Seedlings of this species are to be found on the beach as well as in the interior of the siland. Plants are found with flowers white or pale lavender lavender.
