APPENDIX C: SEASONALITY OF IMPORTANT FRUIT-BEARING TREES AND<br />
SHRUBS IN TKE PARK AREA.<br />
The table below was complied from herbarium specimens <strong>at</strong> the Bishop Museum and in the personal<br />
collection <strong>of</strong> the author, augmented by notes from Dr. Pepper Trail (pers. comm.). Some <strong>of</strong> the species<br />
includc only llowering or fruiting d<strong>at</strong>es; in mosl <strong>of</strong> these the m<strong>at</strong>ure fruits are small and not always<br />
clishguishablc from the flowers. Many <strong>of</strong> the gaps in the d<strong>at</strong>a reflect inadequ<strong>at</strong>e sampling; most <strong>of</strong> the trees<br />
on Tutuila can be found flowering <strong>at</strong> anytime <strong>of</strong> the year. This list should be considered only tent<strong>at</strong>ive,<br />
because d<strong>at</strong>a for many <strong>of</strong> these species is currently being recorded by Dr. Pepper Trail <strong>of</strong> the Department <strong>of</strong><br />
Marine and Wildlife Resources in American Samoa.<br />
