THE FLORA OF THE AMERICAN VIRGIN ISLANDS



NL. BRITTON

New York Botanical Garden



The islands St. Thomas, St. Jan and St. Croix recently purchased

by the United States from the kingdom of Denmark, are situated to the

east and southeast of the island of Porto Rico. My interest in their

flora was first aroused by the proximity of the Virgin Islands archi-

pelago to Porto Rico, both the Porto Rican islands Culebra and

Vieques being parts of the archipelago. I therefore took occasion in

1913, accompanied by Dr. J. N. Rose and with the help of Mrs.

Britton, Miss Delia W. Marble, and Dr. J. A. Shafer, to explore St.

Thomas and St. Jan quite thoroughly, and Dr. Rose made collections



on St. Croix, while we were engaged in studying the cacti of the West

’ Indies! In 1901, I had made a brief visit to St. Croix, with Mr.

John F. Cowell.? .



The islands are all hilly, there being very little level land on either

St. Thomas or St. Jan, but more on St. Croix. The rocks are mostly

of plutonic origin, but there is some limestone on St. Croix and locally

other stratified rocks occur. The highest elevation is about 500

meters (1,550 feet), on The Crown of St. Thomas.



There is but little natural forest remaining on any of the islands,

and what there is is confined to the hilltops in a few places. Re-

forestation is the crying need of the new possession, and it will be

highly discreditable to the United States if this subject is not im-

mediately taken in hand. Most of the higher parts of all three islands

are not available for any but forest products and the supply of wood

for fuel needs to be increased and the rainfall conserved by a forest

cover, for most of the rain now runs off immediately. This destruc-

tion of the forest has doubtless eliminated a good many species from

the original flora of the islands. ;



The principal literature of the botany of the islands is as follows?

the descriptions are by Vahl. A number of the plants listed have not been

observed on St. Croix by subsequent collectors and some of them are obscure.

The author was rector of a school at Christiansted. The book is very rare.

Ledru was the botanist and Anselme Riedlé the gardener of an expedition

sent out by the Paris Museum of Natural History 1796-1798. Unfortunately,

many of the specimens attributed to St. Thomas were in all probability col-

lected on Porto Rico. Many living plants were brought back to the Jardin

des Plantes. The botanical parts of the report are general and not extensive.

About 400 species are enumerated. The plants were collected by C. A.

Ehrenberg, a merchant, in the years 1827 and 1828. The records are anno-

tated and there are some descriptions. ,

Over 1,200 plants are enumerated alphabetically, including many in culti-

vation and some algae. Many of the records can not now be substantiated.

Krebs had previously published an account of the geographic distribution of

the Flora of St. Thomas.

Baron Eggers was in command of Danish troops on St. Thomas during

most of the period between 1874 and 1887, and visited St.. Jan. In this cat-

the vegetable products of commercial value are discussed.



There are a very large number of records of plants from the islands in

taxonomic monographs and lists of species by many authors.



As a literary curiosity record may be made of a manuscript list of the plants

of St. Thomas, undated, arranged upon the Linnaean system of classification,

preserved in the library of the New York Botanical Garden, presented some

years ago by the late Dr. T. F. Allen.



General comments upon the vegetation are to be found i in several books

of travel.



The earlier collections of botanical specimens are practically all

to be found only in the herbaria of the Old World. Perhaps the oldest

22 BROOKLYN BOTANIC GARDEN MEMOIRS



are those of Von Rohr and of Ryan, made about 1780, and preserved

for the most part in the herbarium of the Botanical Museum‘at Copen-

hagen, where the most complete and extensive collections from these

islands are to be found.



Prior to 1800 collections were made by L. C. M. Richard, Isert,

West, Pflug, Ledru and Riedlé. During the nineteenth century the

principal collectors were Benzon, Bertero, Ravn, Hornbeck, Ehren-

berg, Breutel, Krebs, Oersted, Holton, Eggers, Krause, Warming,

Borgesen, Paulsen, A. E. Ricksecker, Mrs. J. J. Ricksecker, Otto

Kuntze and Millspaugh. Since 1900 collections have been made

by N. L. Britton, Mrs. Britton, J. F. Cowell, Miss Marble, J. A. Shafer

and J. N. Rose.



A collection made by Kirkman Finley in Trinidad was erroneously

labeled as from St. Thomas, and many errors have been made in citing

these specimens. A few plants collected by Kuntze in Porto Rico

have been erroneously recorded as from St. Thomas, and many col-

lected by Riedlé on Porto Rico have been similarly erroneously re-

corded. Conversely, some plants collected by Purdie on St. Thomas

have been cited as Jamaican.



For the purposes of the following list of plants I have examined

the literature and have studied the following series of specimens:



1. Duplicates of plants collected by Benzon, Hornbeck, Eggers

and Paulsen, received by the New York Botanical Garden in exchange

with the Copenhagen Botanical Museum. .



2. The collection made by I. F. Holton on St. Thomas, preserved

in the herbarium of Columbia University.



3. Dr. Otto Kuntze’s St. Thomas plants, which came to the New

York Botanical Garden as a part of his herbarium, presented by Mr.

Andrew Carnegie.



4. The St. Croix collections made by Mr. Ricksecker and a portion

of that made by Mrs. Ricksecker in the herbarium of the New York

Botanical Garden and parts of the complete sets preserved in the

herbarium of The Field Museum of Natural History.



5. Part of the St. Thomas collection made by Dr. Millspaugh.



6. The St. Croix collection made by Mr. Cowell and myself in 1900.



7. The collections made by Dr. Rose, assisted by Mr. Fitch and

Mr. Russell on St. Croix in 1913.



i 8. The collection made on St. Thomas by Mrs. Britton and Miss

Marble in 1913.



g. The collection made by Dr. Shafer and myself on St. Thomas,

St. Jan and small adjacent islands in 1913.



Mrs. Britton has contributed the catalogue of the mosses, Dr.

Evans that of the hepatics, and Professor Riddle that of the lichens.

BRITTON: FLORA OF THE VIRGIN ISLANDS 23



Our knowledge of the fungi of the islands is but fragmentary and it

is therefore deemed wise not to attempt an enumeration of them at

this time; a mycological survey would doubtless reveal the presence

of several hundred species. Dr. Howe has contributed a note on the

algological collections and researches of Mr. Borgesen.



St. Thomas and St. Jan are two of the Virgin Islands, discovered



by Columbus in 1493, and were so called to commemorate the young

women who are fabled as having accompanied St. Ursula.

_ The Virgin Island group is usually regarded as composed of the:

following islands, proceeding from the west eastward, (1) Culebra, or

Snake Island (Porto Rican); (2) St. Thomas, or San Thomé, and

(3) St. John or San Jan; (4) Tortola, (5) Virgin Gorda, and (6) Ana-

gada (British). Throughout this archipelago there are many islets

and keys, and the marine views from the hills are among the most

charming in America. If to the above mentioned larger islands we

add (7) Jost Van Dyck, the next largest, a British island near Tortola,

we have seven major Virgin Islands, eight if we include Vieques.



Tortola (British) is separated from St. Jan by little over a mile

of water. The purchase from the Danish government thus brings

our frontier close to that of the British Empire at another point.



Vieques, or Crab Island (Porto Rican), lies south of the axis of

the archipelago, and is perhaps not properly a member of the Virgin

Island group, although it is sometimes so considered.



These islands were originally inhabited by Arawak and Carib

Indians. St. Thomas was colonized by the Dutch in 1657, passed to

the British about 1667, and to the Danes in 1671, who have since held

it, except for short occupations by the British. St. Jan was colonized

by the Danes in 1684, and their occupancy has since been continuous.

St. Croix, or Santa Cruz, was also discovered by Columbus in 1493 or

early in 1494, colonized by both Dutch and English in 1625, passed

soon to the Spanish, and next to the French in 1651. The Danish

ownership dates from 1733. It is isolated in the sea, and not properly

of the Virgin Island group; in clear weather, it can be seen from the

hills of Porto Rico and from those of St. Thomas and St. Jan.



All three islands are oblong in shape, with the longer axes nearly

east and west, the coast lines irregular. The hills of St. Thomas

rise to about 1,500 feet; those of St. Jan are somewhat lower (about

1,260 feet), while the highest point on St. Croix (Mt. Eagle) is 1,164

feet. St. Croix is about 21 miles long, 6 miles wide, and has an area

of about 84 square miles, being thus about one seventh larger than

Staten Island, New York (72$ square miles). St. Thomas is 13 miles

long, 4 miles wide, with an area, including its islets, of some 32 square

miles; St. Jan is 9 miles long, about 5 miles wide, with an area, in-

24 BROOKLYN BOTANIC GARDEN MEMOIRS



cluding its islets, of about 21 square miles. The total area of the

three islands, including their contiguous islets, is thus about 138

square miles, or not quite twice that of Staten Island. The areas

here used for St. Thomas and St. Jan are approximate, because the

total area of the contiguous.islets is not definitely recorded.



The harbor of Charlotte Amalia, coveted by commercial and naval

interests, is the most striking coastal feature of the islands, indenting

the southern coast of St. Thomas. It is something less than a mile

in diameter, a little longer than wide, and is nearly enclosed by the

hills, its mouth being approximately 900 feet wide. It is as safe an

anchorage as any tropical harbor can be, and affords anchorage for as

many vessels as would be at all likely to need it at any one time, in-

water which is up to 37 feet deep. It is not as spacious as Guantanamo

Bay on the southeast coast of Cuba, but as a naval base, with the

hills fortified, would immediately command the Virgin Passage.



Magen’s Bay on the north side of St. Thomas, where a long penin-.

sula juts out into the sea, and Coral Bay at the east and Cruz Bay

at the west end of St. Jan, are also valuable harbors, and there are

several other small harbors or coves. The so-called harbors at

Christiansted and Frederiksted, St. Croix, are open roadsteads.



These islands, like Culebra, Tortola, and Virgin Gorda, are partly

plutonic in origin, being partly composed of rocks which have solidified '

froma molten state. There is no present evidence of volcanic activity,

as there is in the Leeward and the Windward Islands farther south,

and there are no volcanic peaks. Conglomerate and other stratified

rocks, supposed to be Cretaceous, also occur. They are evidently

ancient, and show evidences of an enormous amount of erosion since

their upheaval; they have not been geologically surveyed.



The soil, except that of some sand beaches and mangrove swamps

and salt marshes, has directly resulted from the decay and erosion

of the rocks; it is of good agricultural quality and locally deep, but

on the steep slopes and hillsides it is meager, having been much

washed away since the cutting away of the forests. There are not

many sand beaches on St. Thomas or St. Jan, but there is a consider-

able area of beach on St. Croix. In sheltered coves and reaches with

shallow water, the mangrove is forming land, as everywhere in similar

situations on tropical coasts.



Along large portions of the coast lines, the rocks come directly

to the sea, forming fine cliffs and headlands, often rising from deep

water, and much of the coastal scenery is highly picturesque.



I have included records of the plants commonly cultivated either

for their products or for ornament and interest, but have made no

attempt to include the rarer or unusual garden plants, If the records

BRITTON: FLORA OF THE VIRGIN ISLANDS 25



by Krebs and Knox are correct, there was a greater variety of plants

in gardens at the middle of the last century than at present.



In citing synonyms for the names of plants, I have given the

original in cases where the species was first named in’a genus other

than the one in which it is now included, and I also have indicated

the names used by previous authors dealing with plants of the islands,

in so far as I have been able to refer them, but no attempt has been

made to give complete synonymy.



I gratefully acknowledge aid from Mr. A. S. Hitchcock in the

determination of some grasses and from Miss Margaret Slosson and

Mr. W. R. Maxon for information regarding some ferns.
