Only one collection (Horne), ‘from low elevations near streams’. Entada 1. Mangrove swamps, beaches, – 900 m. Schleinitzia 1. Nr. s.l., along sandy beaches and ‘elsewhere’. Acacia 3. Inner edges of mangrove swamps, along sandy beaches – 900 m. Limestone. Serianthes 2. Edges of mangrove swamps, along rocky shores, forests, – 750 m. Limestone. 124. Caesalpiniaceae 7/13 Caesalpinia 2. Sometimes climbing over mangroves (Seemann 1865: 72, Guppy 1906), forest along rocky shores, coastal thickets, – 900 m. Limestone. Storckiella 1. Nr. s.l., river delta, – 300 m. Senna (= Cassia sect. Senna) 2. At or nr. s.l. For S. sophera, Ding Hou et al. (1996) wrote ‘origin neotropic’. However, Smith concluded it is ‘presumably indigenous’ in Fiji and in the Pacific as far eastward as Tonga and Samoa. Cynometra 2. Nr. s.l. – 600 m. Maniltoa 4. Inner edge of mangrove swamps, along rocky coasts, forest, often on limestone, – 600 m. Intsia 1. Inner edge of mangrove swamps, along beaches, coastal forests and thickets, – 450 m. Limestone. Kingiodendron 1. Nr. s.l. – 600 m. 125. Fabaceae 19/27 Sophora 1. Nr. s.l., coastal thickets and forest. Limestone. Dalbergia 1. Strictly littoral in beach thickets, inner edges of mangrove swamps and on river banks. Inocarpus 1. Edges of mangrove swamps, coastal forest, – 400 m. Limestone. Abrus 1. Along beaches, rocky shores, sometimes on limestone, forest edges, – 80 m. Derris 1. Nr. sea in thickets or on forest edges, sometimes on limestone cliffs, edges of mangrove swamps. Millettia (incl. Pongamia) 1. Beach thickets, on rocky shores, – 150 m. Limestone. For taxonomy, see Adema (2001). Tephrosia 1. Coastal areas, rocky shores, – 300 m. Limestone. Sesbania 1. Nr. s.l., along sandy beaches and in coconut plantations on soil presumably derived from limestone. Dendrolobium 1. Inner edges of mangrove swamps, beach thickets, on rocky coasts, – 200 m. Limestone. Uraria 1. Dry grassy slopes especially along leeward coasts, pastures, waste places, – 16
750 m. Erythrina 2. Along coasts, in freshwater swamps, rarely inland. Limestone. Strongylodon 1. Nr. s.l., forests and forest edges, – 750 m. Mucuna 3. Mangrove, mangrove/beach transition (Guppy 1906: 44), landward edge of mangrove swamp (Chapman 1976), coastal thickets and forest, – 1000 m. Limestone. Dioclea 1. No altitudinal information available. Macropsychanthus 1. No altitudinal information available. One collection only (Taveuni). Canavalia 4. Nr. high tide mark, littoral thickets, along beaches and rocky coasts, forest, – 900 m. Limestone. Glycine 1. Nr. s.l. only. Vigna 3. On trees bordering creeks in mangrove swamps (Guppy 1906: 139), on beaches, sand dunes, beach and coastal thickets, – 600 m. Limestone. Ormocarpum 1. Nr. s.l., along dry coasts. (Rhynchosia 1, nr. s.l., was accepted by Smith as adventive, by van Balgooy, 1971, as indigenous). 126. Connaraceae 2/2 Rourea 1. Nr. s.l. – 600 m. Connarus 1. Nr. s.l. – 900 m. Limestone. 127. Lythraceae 1/1 Pemphis 1. Nr. s.l. only, in coastal thickets, along rocky coasts, and on limestone cliffs. 128. Myrtaceae 5/38 Metrosideros (incl. a species originally placed in Tristania) 2. Nr. s.l. – 1200 m. Wright et al. (2000) examined the affinities of the Fijian species. Decaspermum (incl. a species originally placed in Cloëzia) 2. Nr. s.l. – 1195 m. Syzygium 32. Beach thickets – 1323 m. Limestone (S. quadrangulatum). For taxonomy, see Biffin et al. (2005). Piliocalyx 1. 580 – 1150 m. Dense forest or on its edges. Craven (2001; pers. comm. Aug. 2004) indicated that Piliocalyx might eventually be treated as a group under Syzygium. Eugenia (incl. Jossinia) 1. Nr s.l., back-mangrove (Guppy 1906: 350), littoral forest, along rocky coasts, dry rocky slopes nr. the sea, interior of coral islets (Guppy 1906: 350), – 350 m. Limestone. For taxonomy, see Craven (2001). (Austromyrtus was accepted for Fiji by van Balgooy, 1971, but this was based on misidentifications – see van Balgooy, 1993). (130. Onagraceae Ludwigia 1. This weedy species is acepted as indigenous in the Pacific islands by van Balgooy, 1971, but not by Smith. See discussion of ‘Weedy taxa’, above). 131. Melastomataceae 4/30 17
