Flora of the Cayman Islands
The three islands comprising the Cayman Islands support 415 native taxa in a land area over 100 square miles, 29 of which are uniquely Caymanian. This field guide satisfies the needs of the professional botanist, while providing the non-expert and eco-tourist with an introduction to the unique endemic flora of the Cayman Islands.

Additions and Corrections to \Flora of the Cayman Islands\
Resumption by the author in 1991 of field work in the Cayman Islands, together with new information from other sources, has so far resulted in 74 new species records in 40 families. Four of these families (Schizaeaceae, Araliaceae, Oxalidaceae and Rafflesiaceae) are likewise new records. Encyclia kingsii (Orchidaceae) and Caesalpinia bonduc var. caymanensis (Leguminosae) are new combinations; Chionanthus caymanensis var. longipetala (Oleaceae) is a new variety; Banara caymanensis (Flacourtiaceae) is a new species, and Scolosanthus aff. bahamensis (Rubiaceae) is a probable new species still under study. Another new species in Pisonia (Nyctaginaceae) is indicated but not named or described. One species, Hemidiodia ocymifolia (Rubiaceae) has been deleted from the Flora. The total non-cultivated Cayman flora now stands at 674 species, representing a statistical increase of slightly more than 12%.

Lobelia vivaldii (Campanulaceae: Lobelioideae), a Remarkable New Species of Sect. Tylomium from Isla de Mona, Puerto Rico
A new species of Lobelia (Campanulaceae: Lobelioideae) is described from Isla de Mona, a Caribbean island not previously known to harbor the genus. The small woody rosette-plants were collected in 1988 and 1992 at the northeastern corner of the island, where they grew from crevices in the vertical limestone cliffs, approximately 60 m above the sea. The new species, Lobelia vivaldii, belongs to sect. Tylomium, a group of approximately 36 suffruticose and woody species endemic to the Caribbean basin. Within that section, it is most similar to and apparently derived from L. cirsiifolia, a less woody rain forest species found at higher elevations on several islands in the Lesser Antilles.
