APPENDIX A ANNOTATED CHECKLIST OF THE FLORA OF TUTUILA 'Thc following checklist of the flora of Tutuila is based on field work carried out on the island from 27 May to 12 June 1992 and 17 December 1992 to 5 January 1993, as well as on collections of all bota- nists since 1839. Not all of the species listed have been recorded within the park; some, especially those restricted to habitats not existing in the park, are highly unlikely to occur there. Species not yet recorded from the park are marked with an asterisk; specimens collected within the park are followed by an exclamation point. The species on the checklist are divided into four groups, Pteridophyta (ferns), Fern Allies, Dicoty- ledonae, and Monocotyledonae. Each of these taxonomic categories is further divided into plant families arranged in alphabetical order; the species within the families are also arranged alphabetically. Each entry includes the scientific name, common names (if any; English names, when present, are in brackets), a brief description, habitat, reported elevation, geographic range, and a list of all specimens noted from the island. Because the average number of specimens collected for each species is low, the elevations listed are those recorded for the species in the whole archipelago. The cited specimens, all of which are from Tutuila, can be found in the collections of the Bishop Museum, the Smithsonian Institution, the National Tropical Botanical Garden, and the Univer- sity of Hawai'i (the author's personal collection). A voucher set was also prepared for the National Park Service. Specimens noted in previous publications but not verified by the author are noted as "n.s." (not seen). Specimens lacking a collection number are noted as "s.n." (without number). The taxonomy employed in the list follows The Pteridophyte jlora of Fiji (Brownlie 1977) for the ferns and fern allies, and Flora vitiensis nova (Smith 1979-1991) for the flowering plants, with only a few exceptions. The Samoan names were taken from Whistler (1 984).
