ABSTRACT<br />
Nicolson, Dan H., with Robert A. DeFilipps, Alice C. Nicolson, and others. <strong>Flora</strong> <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>Dominica</strong>, <strong>Part</strong> 2: Dicotyledoneae. <strong>Smithsonian</strong> Contributions to Botany, number 77,274 pages,<br />
1991.-This completes the coverage <strong>of</strong> the vascular plants <strong>of</strong> <strong>Dominica</strong>. The introduction<br />
recapitulates and updates botanical information <strong>of</strong> <strong>Part</strong> 1 (Hodge, 1954). The main text begins<br />
with an artificial (identification) key to dicotyledonous families. Taxa are arranged<br />
alphabetically within the hierarchy, families, then genera within families and species within<br />
genera. Keys are provided when more than one taxon is involved. Each species has a restricted<br />
synonymy, vernacular name@) (if known), short description, general distribution, local habitat<br />
with localities and collections. Notes are sometimes appended involving biology, nomenclature,<br />
usage, etc. The synonymy also references critical works concerning the species.<br />
<strong>Part</strong> 1 accounted for 32 families, 190 genera, and 382 species. <strong>Part</strong> 2 accounts for 123<br />
families, 482 genera, and 844 species. In other words, <strong>Dominica</strong> has a vascular flora <strong>of</strong> about<br />
155 families, 672 genera, and 1226 species.<br />
There is one novelty: a new combination, Ilex macfadyenii subsp. ovata (Grisebach)<br />
