Summary:

This completes the coverage of the vascular plants of Dominica. The introduction recapitulates and updates botanical information of Part 1 (Hodge, 1954). The main text begins with an artificial (identification) key to dicotyledonous families. Taxa are arranged alphabetically within the hierarchy, families, then genera within families and species within genera. Keys are provided when more than one taxon is involved. Each species has a restricted synonymy, vernacular name(s) (if known), short description, general distribution, local habitat with localities and collections. Notes are sometimes appended involving biology, nomenclature, usage, etc. The synonymy also references critical works concerning the species. Part 1 accounted for 32 families, 190 genera, and 382 species. Part 2 accounts for 123 families, 482 genera, and 844 species. In other words, Dominica has a vascular flora of about 155 families, 672 genera, and 1226 species. There is one novelty: a new combination, Ilex macfadyenii subsp. ovata (Grisebach) Nicolson.
