The indigenous vegetation of'Eua Island, Tonga, is described and a species list presented. Quantitative data were collected from 40 forest plots in which all vascular plant species were recorded and the diameters of all stems >_ 5 cm dbh were measured. Plot classification, based on basal area data, identified six forest types, two coastal and four inland, which reflect an elevational sequence from the coast to the island's summit (312 m a.s.l.). A polar ordination, based on basal area data, arranged plots from the four inland forest types in a sequence from low to high elevation along one ordination axis, and from more mature to less mature along a second axis. Species richness increased with elevation. Several additional, non-forest vegetation types, including fern-and grass-dominated vegetation of inland B95023
Abstract.A revised and updated literature-based checklist of Hawaiian mosses is presented. Geographic coverage includes the eight main Hawaiian Islands; the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands are excluded. The checklist is alphabetically ordered by scientific names; the family is noted for each genus. Synonyms and misapplied names are cross-referenced to the accepted names. A bibliography of supporting references is included.
