Excerpt from Economic Plants: An Index to Economic Products of the Vegetable Kingdom in Jamaica This Index of Products has been prepared as an indication of the various uses to which plants growing in Jamaica may be put. It has been written somewhat hurriedly in order to have it for reference during the Exhibition. The arrangement is in alphabetical order of the scientific names with cross references from the common names. After the botanical name comes the common name, then its habitat, followed by a very short description of the plant. The parts of the plants which are of economic use are arranged in the following order, - root, stem, leaves, flowers, fruit. Reference has been made, when necessary, to the Bulletin of the Botanical Department. Several works have been consulted, of which the chief are Watt's Dictionary of Economic Products of India, Vols. I. and II., A to C, Bentley and Trimen's Medicinal Plants, Macfadyen's Flora of Jamaica, Vols. I. and II, Kew Bulletin. The last mentioned publication should be in the hands of all who are in any way interested in tropical agriculture.
