Excerpt from Flora of Jamaica, Vol. 4: Containing Descriptions of the Flowering Plants Known From the Island
The present volume continues the systematic account of the flowering plants of Jamaica on the same lines as Volume III. There has been some delay in publication owing to conditions prevailing during the last five years. The fact that printing was begun in 1917 will explain the absence of reference, especially in the earlier sheets, to papers which may have appeared subsequently.
We are again indebted for the loan of specimens to the Government of Jamaica, and to various institutions and individuals previously mentioned, especially to the Directors of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew and Edinburgh, the Bristol Museum, and the Naturhistoriska Riks-Museum at Stockholm.
