Long, C.R. 1964 15 A possible error occurs in Lamoureux's map on the east side: ie. the Scaevola association seems to be more extensive on the east. There also seems to be some error in the handling of the southwest end of the island. I observed dried plants of Solanum nigrum on the west side growing with Tribulus and Eragrostis. The Erigeron is also dry and most of the plants have passed blooming. On the southwest end the Scaevola seedlings are numerous in the Nama association. A large area at the southwest end looks as if swept over by high seas. I collected Solanum nigrum in flower and growing vigorously in the Ipomoea stand on the midwest side of the lagoon. I observed nine Cocos fruits on the beach. On the northeast side of the lagoon is a large area of dead Pluchea and Cyperus. I collected Capparis on the west side. Two large bushes with large white flowers--growing in the thick Scaevola. These are located just to the south of the hill camping area on the west side. I collected two Portulaca plants as live specimens. The oleracea sp. varies morphologically depending on the niche in which it grows. Plants in sand have very red stems and more widely spaced leaves along the stem. Itinery: a. from camp to north end of lagoon; b. west side of lagoon to bare area on southwest side then to the south end of the lagoon and across beach; c. up the southeast beach crossing to east side of lagoon; d. north to beach and west along sand hills to camp; e. in evening I collected by Flashlight on the west side of lagoon, southwest beach and west beach area.
