Common names: Cayman common names are almost always different from the same
species growing elsewhere. Native or naturalized: All Cayman Islands native
plants are tropical, but not all tropical plants, such as many used in
landscaping, are native to the Cayman Islands. A plant that is native to
southern Florida may, or may not, be native to the Cayman Islands. A Cayman
Islands native plant species is one that occurs naturally in the Cayman Islands
without direct or indirect human actions. Some plants (and animals) are native
to only one or two of the three Cayman Islands.</span><br />

world authority on the flora of Jamaica, where he had lived since 1949. Born in
Boston, he studied for his PhD at the University of Pennsylvania after the
Second World War. Reduced funding at this time led him to take up work as a
herbarium assistant at the Academy of Natural Sciences in Philadelphia (1946-1947).
In 1948 a defining event occurred when he was appointed botanist with the
Catherwood-Chaplin West Indies Expedition, which took him to Cuba, the Caymans,
San Andres y Providencia and mainland Colombia. He wrote the Flora of the
Cayman Islands, first published in 1984, 2nd. edition 2012.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">The Ironwood Forest, Grand Cayman, is a unique,
self-sustaining ancient growth forest, anchored on a ridge of pinnacled Cayman
Dolostone limestone rock. It is SE of George Town, on a fresh water lens, in a
high rainfall area and has an amazing diversity of Cayman indigenous plants,
including endemics and single-neighbor endemics. Many plants are Endangered and
Critically Endangered, such as a giant Bromeliad – <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Hohenbergia caymanensis</i> and the Grand Cayman Ghost Orchid – <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Dendrophylax fawcettii</i>, both of which
grow on culturally significant Ironwood trees – <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Chionanthus caymanensis</i>. Maybe it will take an orchid to save a
forest.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Cayman Islands endemic species, subspecies and varieties
of flora and fauna. An endemic species is one that originated or evolved in a
particular place, and that situation won't change in the future. They may be
endemic to one or more of the three islands of Grand Cayman, Little Cayman and
Cayman Brac. Some plants and animals are native to only one or two of the three
Cayman Islands. The Cayman Islands have 28 endemic taxa (species and varieties)
of plant and 5 endemic subspecies of butterfly. The plants are arranged by scientific
name A - Z. The butterflies are arranged in taxonomic sequence. A Cayman
Islands indigenous / native species is one that occurs naturally in the Cayman
Islands without direct or indirect human actions. </span></div>

WATER-SHED so that the rain water would run off and not destroy the DAUB with which it was faced. The
resulting structure was house-shaped. Length + breadth + sloping roof =
house-shaped gravestone.</span></span></div>

first came to the Cayman Islands</span></b><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms"; font-size: 10.0pt;"> almost 300 years ago. It became the custom in the
eighteenth and nineteenth centuries for people to set aside a portion of their
land for the family graveyard. There are a number of such plots around the
islands, and many are still used today.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms"; font-size: 10.0pt;">The
wooden coffin lies buried in the ground underneath the stone slab supporting
the monument. This would have been sufficiently heavy to prevent all but the
fiercest of storms from disturbing them. The name of the deceased was inscribed
on a mahogany panel set into the wall of the "house". It is likely
that wood was chosen in preference to stone because the local people were
skilled carpenters, not stonemasons. Sadly, many of the markers have
disappeared and others have become illegible over the years.</span></div>

graveyards in the Cayman Islands. It was the
practice for each family to be responsible for the safe burial of their dead.
During the eighteenth century people started to set aside a small portion of
their land to serve as the family graveyard.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms"; font-size: 10.0pt;">As
good soil was scarce and needed to grow crops, it could not be spared for such
a purpose. Much of the remaining land was made up of very hard coral limestone
rock, which was extremely difficult to excavate with the simple tools
available. Fortunately, the answer lay on the shoreline, where the deep,
infertile, sandy soil had less value and was relatively easy to dig. It must be
remembered that it is only in the twentieth century that beaches have been seen
as an asset. The early settlers preferred to live away from the threat of flooding
which they represented.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 9.0pt;">When Cromwell heard of the capture of

he endeavoured to attract settlers to his newly won domain. He advised the
people of New England,
whom he declared had been driven from the land of their birth to a desert and
barren wilderness, to remove themselves to a land of plenty!</span></div>

various West Indian Colonies and advocated a similar policy, but as these
Islands had been brought to the brink of ruin by the loss of four thousand
able-bodied men who had enlisted in Venables' Army, they did not look on this
suggestion with much enthusiasm and did little to further it, all save the
Governor of Nevis, Luke Stokes.</span></div>

it is interesting to speculate. Near Stokesfield there is a little stream known
as the River Styx. Perhaps it is connected in some way with the burial place of
the first settlers, if so, let us hope that the shades of the men and women
from Nevis rest in peace in the world beyond

Elections in the Cayman Islands</span></div>

</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 11.0pt;"> According to our
records the first formal type of elected Government was first introduced in <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">December 1831</b>. However, prior to
this the Islands were administered by a number
of Magistrates and Senior Magistrates, and some times even by a Custos,
appointed by the Governor of Jamaica. This system of Government worked well
while the population remained relatively small but as the population increased
a number of problems were experienced because of weaknesses in the system. [See
“Founded upon the Seas” Chap. 5 “The Beginnings of Self-Government” By
M.Craton] The first Magistrates ruled with some references to Jamaican Law. In <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">1802</b>, as Edward Corbet had noted
in his Report,”The Magistrates are understood to have the same power as those
in this island [Jamaica],
but when any new measure is to be adopted it is generally submitted by them to
the consideration of the population at large.” This seemed to have been a
very democratic manner of dealing with affairs of state, but not everyone was
pleased as this led to some confusion and conflict. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">By at least <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">1823, the Chief Magistrate, James Coe Sr</b>.,
and the other “Magistrates and principal inhabitants” of Grand
Cayman apparently felt they needed a more formal system of
lawmaking and set of laws. Accordingly, they asked for and got commissions for
several more Magistrates from <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Governor
Lord Manchester</b>. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">Then on 13 December 1823, the
Magistrates and “principal inhabitants” held a meeting at William Eden’s
residence at Pedro St. James. Their first decision was to lease the Pedro
property from William Eden for £5. 6s. 8d a year. It would be used as an animal
pound, court-house, and jail, with a daily payment of 2s. 11d authorized
whenever there was a prisoner.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">Other laws were passed at
this time, which dealt with roaming livestock, duties on dry goods, provisions,
liquor, or any kind of merchandize sold by any non-inhabitant. Another law,
which prohibited the sale of liquors, wines, by any slave, was also passed at
this time.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">Pedro St. James continued to
be the seat of Government, with regular meeting held at this location. On 5th
December 1831 a meeting was held at Pedro St. James to form a proper
legislative assembly with representatives and Magistrates from each district
appointed.- forming as it were two houses in imitation of the Council and
Assembly of Jamaica. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">On 10th December 1831, 2
representatives of each were “elected” for the districts of West Bay, George Town, South West Sound, Prospect, and Bodden Town
the method of election is not known. These ten representatives later referred
to as the “Vestry” assembled for the first time on 31st December 1831 in George Town, and met again
on 2nd January 1832. The eight Magistrates met at the same time but in a
different room carefully preserving the classic British form of a bicameral
legislature. No law was “deemed valid” until it had received the assent of both
houses. </span></div>

CAYMANAS CHURCH UP TO 1839</span><span style="color: black;"></span></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "trebuchet ms"; font-size: 10.0pt;">"In the beginning" the Caymanas Church
was a congregation of worshippers presided over by a "respectable
Inhabitant" and it is notable that the Caymanas "Governor"
William Bodden had a "house of Public worship" built for them. There
is no question that the inhabitants took it for granted that the Faith they
practised was the Faith of the Mother country, and they would have been within
the ecclesiastical jurisdiction of the Bishop of London. Later, the See of
Jamaica was erected and the Rt. Rev. Christopher Lipscomb was installed as the
Church of England's first Bishop of Jamaica. It should not be forgotten that
the Church of England had already existed in Jamaica before that time for over [one]
and a half centuries, but apparently had formed no ministerial connection with
the Caymanas Church from the time that it began independently.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "trebuchet ms"; font-size: 10.0pt;">The purpose of the Letters Patent issued in 1824 for the new
Bishopric of Jamaica was to "erect found ordain make and constitute the
Island of Jamaica the Bahama Islands and the Settlements in the Bay of
Honduras, and their respective dependencies, to be a Bishop's See".<sup>5.3</sup>
In 1825 the new Bishop communicated with the "Governor of the
Caymans" letting him know of his intent to establish the Church in
"that part of his diocese". At the same time Mr. James Coe Junior in
the Caymanas wrote a letter to the Rev'd Isaac Mann in Jamaica in which the feasibility of a clergyman
being sent to the Caymanas from Jamaica
was discussed. In December 1831 a Church of England clergyman arrived in the
Caymanas from the Bishop of Jamaica, and until 1839 the Church in Caymanas
manifested in practical terms its willingness to receive the Bishop of
Jamaica's pastoral oversight. All this came to a decisive end by the summer of

<span style="color: #666699; font-size: 11.0pt;">The Grand Cayman is but a few feet above the level of the
sea) with a thin coating of soil on solid rock. There is pasturage for cattle,
but no farms. Even the bush, which can grow where man cannot labour, is
stunted. . Yams, cocoas, and plantains are unknown. "Sweet potatoes will
grow in some parts," said a good woman, "and we all go a fishing,
especially for turtle, to supply the English ships. But, to tell the truth,
sir, our main dependence is on the wrecks, and we all thank God when a ship
comes ashore." The Grand Cayman is a trap
for ships, and catches more, perhaps, than any other spot of equal extent in
the world. It is on the high road of all West India vessels, homeward bound,
and of all outward bound for New Orleans, Havannah, and other ports in the Gulf
of Mexico<i> </i>while the never-ceasing current varies, sometimes, with the
trade wind, both in force and direction, sweeping one time north and another
time south of the island. Seamen, who don't want to call there for turtle, give
it a wide berth<i> </i>but sometimes, as in our case, when they had reckoned
themselves thirty miles off it, find their ships crashing on its reefs. Anchors
and chain cables were lying all over the beach. Fragments of ships seemed to
form part of most of the common people's houses. </span></div>

<span style="color: #666699; font-size: 11.0pt;">The burial-place took my attention as
peculiarly neat and simple. The graves were marked, not by mounds of earth and
headstones, or great massive tombs, but by <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">houses

feet long, two feet broad, and one and a half high, with a sloping roof and

the name of the occupant, his age, and the day on which he entered his narrow
home, "the house appointed for all living." They were well built,
white, and clean, and, of course, of all sizes. Sometimes a row of them close
to one another indicated a family place of sepulture. The want of sufficient
depth of earth for an ordinary grave, perhaps, led to the adoption of this
literal necropolis.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">Watler</span><span style="font-size: 11.0pt;"> Cemetery is
part of a larger complex of coastal cemeteries developed in the Cayman Islands. This peculiar site is a family graveyard
dating back to the early 19<sup>th</sup>. century or perhaps before, responding
to the 18<sup>th</sup>. and 19<sup>th</sup>. century local custom of dedicating
a portion of their land to burials. The justification for these cemeteries’
particular location was the islands’ rocky and difficult to excavate inland and
the need to preserve the soils for agriculture.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">Most of the tombs are
house-shaped, made out of red bricks and faced with a layer of burned coral and
limestone daub. The names of the deceased were originally inscribed on mahogany
markers set on the walls of the graves. The graveyard is enclosed within a
coral stone wall.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">The beautiful, peaceful and
apparently undisturbed coastal setting, withsea grapes, almond trees and
eventually the sound of the waves, provides a peculiarly poetic experience. The
Watler Cemetery
is – without doubts – an exceptional<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>exponent of the Caymanian and Caribbean
cultural heritage. It is very important to point out that the Watler Cemetery
and the other coastal graveyards (Spott’s, Coe’s, etc) in Grand Cayman – are,
if not unique, at least rare in the Caribbean
sub region.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">Though it has been stated
that: “Similar grave markers have been found in England and Wales dating from
mediaeval times, while others (dating from the early 1600’s) are to be found
elsewhere in the British West Indies:, the consultant has not found any
description or graphic evidence.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She
knows several cemeteries – both Christian and Jewish – in the Caribbean and
thinks there are not any tombs like the ones seen in Grand
Cayman. While recently doing a preliminary exploration on this
topic she found out some strange coincidences: similar tombs at the Jewish
Cemetery in George Town, Penang,
Malaysia, others with a
similar shape in the Jewish Cemeteries of Fez, Morocco and Vilnius, Lithuania.
There are also some cemeteries on the Cuban Northeast coast at the Holguín
province that might have some similarities with those in Cayman. As far as the
consultant understands, a comprehensive and comparative research about the
origins of Cayman’s cemeteries has not yet been until this date carried out.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">Further research on Cayman Islands coastal cemeteries is needed in order to
reveal their uniqueness or exceptionalty at least at a Regional level.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">Considering the exceptional
values of this Cemetery (also the others in Grand Cayman
and the other islands), the<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>threats it
faces and the challenge of its proper maintenance, it would be good to propose
it to be included in the <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">World Monuments
Watch List</b> of the 100 Most Endangered Monuments. This annual list – widely
published worldwide – can allow obtaining funds and the promotion of local and

wooden coffin lies buried in the ground underneath the stone slab supporting

on a mahogany panel set into the wall of the "house". It is likely
that wood was chosen in preference to stone because the local people were
skilled carpenters, not stonemasons. Sadly, many of the markers have
disappeared and others have become illegible over the years.</span><span lang="EN" style="font-family: "trebuchet ms"; font-size: 10.0pt;"></span></div>

Heir at law, came into its possession and sold it to James Coe in 1800. James
Coe left the island some years later and resold it to William Eden, who
occupied it for some years. At his death he bequeathed it to 2 coloured boys

Spanish privateers, Modyford's successor called the settlers back to Jamaica, though by this time Spain had recognised British possession of the Islands in the 1670 Treaty of Madrid. Often in breach of
the treaty, British privateers roamed the area taking their prizes, probably
using the Cayman Islands for replenishing
stocks of food and water and careening their vessels. During the 18th century,
the Islands were certainly well known to such pirates as Edward Teach
(Blackbeard), Neal Walker, George Lowther and Thomas Antis, even after the
Treaty of Utrecht, in 1713, was supposed to have ended privateering.</span></div>

side of Grand Cayman has been voracious in
recent years. In 2008, government plans to construct a bypass through the
forest, and through the portion occupied by the orchids, provoked outcry from
both the public and the owners of the privately-held Ironwood Forest
land. The forest won a stay of execution thanks to the campaign by the
protestors and the bypass plans were shelved. However, this temporary reprieve
will be insufficient to ensure the long term survival of the enchanting ghost
orchid as the Ironwood
Forest continues to

currently lack the comprehensive conservation legislation necessary to
establish national protected areas, and only five per cent is under the
protection of the National Trust for the Cayman Islands.
With appropriate legislation, protection of the Ironwood Forest
would be possible, either by purchase or through establishing management agreements
with the private landowners. This would benefit the landowners by enabling them
to maintain their land in its natural state, as they have done for generations.
All that is required to enable this is the political will.</span> </span></span></span></span></span></div>

Cayman from the mid-1700’s to the early 1800’s for its yellowish

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">"Data from a diversity of sources are consistent with the hypothesis that the Grand Cayman anole, <i>Anolis conspersus</i> , is descended directly from <i>Anolis grahami </i>of Jamaica. Although the two species have remained morphologically similar, coloration in <i>A. conspersus</i> has changed considerably from that of its ancestor. The most dramatic difference is seen in <b>dewlap colour</b>, where <i>A. conspersus</i>
has evolved a <span style="color: #0b5394;"><b>blue </b>and highly UV-reflective <b>dewlap </b></span>from the ancestral
orange-and-yellow colour state. In addition, variation in normal
(non-metachrosis) dorsum coloration in <i>A. grahami</i> populations is limited to shades of green (olive, emerald, teal), whereas in <i>A. conspersus</i>
dorsum coloration varies from <span style="color: #38761d;">green </span>to <span style="color: #0b5394;">blue</span> and to <span style="color: #660000;">brown</span>. This
increased colour variation occurs despite Grand Cayman being a small,
relatively featureless island only 35 km in length. Results of this
study suggest that ambient light differences associated with
precipitation-related vegetation structure may have played an important
role in the evolution of <i>A. conspersus</i> body colour variation."</span><i> </i></span></span></div>

George S. S. Hirst, after whom Hirst

age of 40. He wrote a book, <b><i>Notes on the History of

<span style="font-size: x-small;">Savage
English has obtained satisfactory evidence of the arrival and establishment of
a plant in Grand Cayman without human
assistance. He encloses a specimen of the Cassia. There are no seeds this year
on the wild plants but he is growing it and hopes for some sooner or later. It first
appeared after the 1903 hurricane and was at once noticed as a good garden
flower. The people of Grand Cayman, who are
described as great gardeners, call it storm weed.</span></div>

naturalist recommended by Danforth. He lives in a little wooden house with
burlap walls, dirt floors, etc just opposite the Botanic Gardens. He is rather
elderly, with bushy white beard and hair, but very friendly. He has lived in
British Columbia, Ceylon, England, etc and has evidently been here for some
years. He is interested in birds but not particularly in water-beetles, as
Danforth thought. He gave me two nests – for the U.S.N.M. One has two eggs and was made by an
unidentified warbler. He made a good sketch of both the male and female bird
with color notes, and believes it can be easily identified. The other is a
common bird, but the nest is unusual in being built partly of cotton. He was
able to tell me of a few places to try collecting and invited me to come back
again.</span></span></div>

have not survived well in their storage place in the Montserrat Courthouse, and
since the nearly total destruction of the island by <b>Hurricane Hugo</b> in <b>1989</b> are

was a British colonial administrator who used the extant manuscripts in
Montserrat to compile a brief history of the island that includes material on
seventeenth-century settlement, slavery and sugar plantations, emancipation,
and recent Montserrat. Unfortunately he did
not list the documents he used or cite his sources. </span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">On
Feb. 19, 2005, I noticed a vine with white flowers and OPPOSITE leaves at the
northern end of Jasmin Lane, in <b>original growth dry, rocky woodland</b>, by <i>Ehretia
tinifolia </i>(Bastard Cherry), <i>Bursera simaruba </i>(Red Birch)<i> </i>and<i>
Elaeodendron xylocarpum </i>(Wild Calabash), just before the land falls away to
the lower, swampy area. This scrambling shrub / high-climbing woody vine
probably wouldn’t be very noticeable, flowering high in the canopy, but it had
lost its supporting trees during Hurricane Ivan, Sept. 11-12, 2004. Jasmin Lane was
very dry and dusty, and post-Ivan debris has been dumped on the rock, making
foot placement on pinnacle rock precarious. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">March
6, 2005: I spoke to Dr. Proctor, in Jamaica, on the phone. When I first
collected specimens, the leaves felt velvety on the underside, but I couldn’t
really see the hairs with a hand lens. I
didn’t notice the oozing from the glands on the undersides of the leaves until
I had put specimens in water at home.
When I had collected specimens on Feb. 27, to photograph the
creamy-white flowers before they quickly turned yellow and wilted, the leaves
oozed a very sticky, gluey substance, which I couldn’t remove with water – I
had to use rubbing alcohol to get it off my camera and hands before I could
drive home.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: windowtext;">On February 8, 1899, the Utowana stopped at The Creek
,‘Cayman Brae’ (Cayman Brac). A Norther sprang up in the night, so they had to
leave for a point further west, where they anchored. They did some more
collecting and then sailed on to Little Cayman,
but found no safe harbour. They reached Georgetown
(sic), Grand Cayman, after dark on Feb. 9. The
Health Officer forbade them to land as their last port (Port Antonio, Jamaica) was
reported to be infected with measles. Millspaugh, however, was given
permission to go ashore elsewhere as long as he kept away from any other person
or dwelling that he might encounter. He made an extended trip along the shore
north of the port and into the borders of the lagoon (North Sound) <i>(1238-1265)</i>.</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: windowtext;">Because of the Norther, they had to leave George
Town and anchored at ‘Spot
Bay’ (Spotts) <i>(1266-1354)</i>, on the south side of the
island.</span></span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: windowtext;">Tues. Feb. 14, 1899 Mr. Armour, Mr. Isham and Millspaugh made
an extended excursion into the interior of Grand Cayman.
(1355-1391). They encountered swarms of mosquitoes. As the weather deteriorated
on the south coast, they left Spotts in the evening and returned to their
previous anchorage off George Town.
The Board of Health had raised their quarantine and they were invited ashore.
The Norther was the worst the inhabitants had experienced for 20 years.
Millspaugh spent an hour collecting about the streets and vacant lots <i>(1392-1406)</i>. He was summoned aboard by
the ship’s whistle as the wind had shifted again and the anchorage was becoming
untenable.</span></span></span></div>

of discovery were an important part of the search for a new order in the
natural world. Tony Rice charts Sir Hans Sloane's seventeenth-century
expedition to Jamaica,
a voyage that produced one of the world's most significant natural history

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"> About
ten years ago, Brenda Quin saw lots <i>Heliotropium humifusum</i> plants growing in
a dry area in the vicinity of the Blow Holes, on the landward side of the main
road (south coast). She described it as a ground cover with minute, white,
star-shaped flowers. She tried growing one in a pot, but it didn’t take. A palm
tree grew in the same pot. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">A
year ago she transplanted the root-bound palm tree into a larger pot. In early
May, 2014, the little ground cover emerged from a seed or root that had been
dormant in the soil for about ten years.</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">The
lime swallowtail, <i>Papilio demoleus</i>
Linnaeus, is sometimes called the chequered or citrus swallowtail. This
butterfly ranges widely and is an extremely successful invader. Its
proliferation appears to be aided by agricultural land use and urbanization
that creates new, suitable open habitat and enhanced availability of host
resources.</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">This
species is found throughout tropical and subtropical regions of southern Asia,
ranging from Saudi Arabia, Iran and the Middle East to India, Nepal,
southern China, Taiwan, and Japan,
and south through Malaysia, Indonesia, and New
Guinea to Australia.
In recent years,<i> P. demoleus</i> has been
recorded in the Dominican Republic,
Puerto Rico, and Jamaica. </span></span></div>

According to one article, the first confirmation of this butterfly in the Western Hemisphere was in spring of 2004 in the Dominican Republic, which would seem to indicate a rather sudden and surprising spread of this species as it is currently seen commonly on the island, feeding at flower bushes.” </span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;">The
825-nucleotide haplotype (DL1) common to all Dominican Republic specimens also
was the most common haplotype recorded in Southeast Asia; thus, genetic and
morphological data independently have resulted in the same conclusion - the
butterflies collected in the Dominican Republic originated in <b>Southeast Asia</b>. Furthermore, the single
haplotype identified from 1,400homologous nucleotides in <i>24 P. demoleus</i> specimens from the Dominican Republic suggests that
these were the progeny of a single introduction (<b>founding bottleneck</b>). That haplotype DL1 was common and widespread
in Southeast Asia, however, does not rule out
the possibility of multiple
introductions. Because the species was not recorded by Takizawa et al.
(2003) and despite regular insect collecting activties and intensive survey
conducted annually by field entomology students, it is reasonable to assume
that a single introduction took place shortly before they were captured in <b>March 2004</b>. The large number of specimens collected in <b>late September 2004</b> (n = 24) from several new locations (Guerrero
et al. 2004, Wehling 2004), and recent collections by Ruth Bastardo from 200km
distant in the far wes of the country at Pedernales (June 2005) and La
Descubierta (August 2005) as well as north of the Cordillera Central near
Santiago (August 2005) indicates that P. demoleus is established locally and
expanding its range, even surviving severe storms in the Dominican Republic in
May 2004 and <b>hurricane Ivan</b> in early
<b>September 2004</b>.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: small;">How
did the butterflies get to the Dominican
Republic? There are several possible modes
of introduction. First, is the unlikely possibility that the species reached
there of its own accord. Records of <i>P.demoleus</i>
migrating in Asia (Williams 1938) and in Australia (Common and Waterhouse 1981,
Braby 2000) do exist; however, if the source population was located at the
western (Baghdad) or eastern (southern Japan) extremes of the range, it would
need to traverse distances exceeding 11,000 or 14,000 km, respectively, across
continents, oceans, or both, and there are <b>no
recent records of the species at intervening localities</b>. It is possible
that a batch of early stages was accidentally introduced from Southeast Asia on
air-freighted citrus products or equipment associated with the industry;
however, Wayne Wehling (USDA) thinks that the butterflies may have been
introduced deliberately for hobby interests or for release at a celebration
such as a wedding (Wehling 2004). Whatever the mode of entry, these swallowtail
butterflies are regarded as citrus pests in their home range, so their
introduction to and establishment in the Dominican Republic could impact
financially on the local citrus industry. Authorities are currently monitoring
the butterflies, and it is hoped that the outbreak can be controlled in the Dominican Republic, and prevented from expanding
into other citrus-producing countries in the Caribbean as well as mainland
North and South America."</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">This
book will enable the identification of each of the 57 species of butterfly that
has been recorded from the Cayman Islands.
There is a description of every butterfly, stressing its most important
characteristics, with photographs of living and mounted specimens. The
distribution, history and biology of each species are reviewed and the plants
which provide adult butterflies with nectar or feed their caterpillars are
tabulated. A general introduction includes a discussion of the affinities and
size of the Caymanian butterfly fauna. The three islands share most of their
butterfly species but each island has uniquely characteristic elements and five
subspecies live only in the Cayman Islands.
Knowledge is fundamental to conservation; it is hoped that both the casual
butterfly watcher and those more committed to the study of butterflies will
discover much of interest in this book and thereby make a contribution to the
continuing survival of these beautiful insects.</span></span></div>

Ironwood in the Cayman Islands is endemic – it grows only on Grand Cayman, Little Cayman and Cayman Brac and nowhere else in the
world, in rocky woodlands, close to a fresh water table. </span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">It
was first recorded in the botanical literature of Grand Cayman in 1899 by Charles
F. Millspaugh M.D. Department of Botany Curator, Field Columbian Museum, Chicago, Illinois.
Millspaugh was a guest of Allison V. Armour, the Chicago
meat-packing millionaire, on a West Indian cruise of the yacht ‘Utowana’; they
visited the Cayman Islands during February,
1899. The chief set of Millspaugh’s specimens is in the herbarium of the Field
Museum of Natural History in Chicago.
Millspaugh published lists of his collection.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">On
February 8, 1899, the ‘Utowana’ stopped at The Creek ,‘Cayman Brae’
(Cayman
Brac) A Norther sprang up in the night,
so they had to leave for a point further
west, where they anchored. They did some more collecting and then sailed
on to Little Cayman, but found no safe harbour. They reached Georgetown
(sic), Grand Cayman
after dark on Feb. 9. The Health Officer forbade them to land as their
last
port (Port Antonio, Jamaica)
was reported to be infected with measles.
They were, however, given permission to go ashore elsewhere as long as
they kept away from any other person or dwelling. Because of the
Norther, they
anchored at ‘Spot
Bay’ (Spotts). </span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Tea
Banker was originally called <i>Pectis cubensis</i>, it had been found in Cuba.
Millspaugh found it on Grand Cayman on <b>Feb.14, 1899</b>: ‘Fine full masses of this
species were found in the sand of the roadside at Spot
Bay, Grand Cayman
(1279), but not seen elsewhere on the island. It is called
"Flat-weed," and is used in infusion as a stomachic tonic.’ (Millspaugh,
1889)</span></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Culturally
Significant</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">In
a two page article entitled ‘Bush Medicine’, published in the February 1973 issue
of the Nor’wester magazine, Ena Watler
wrote: “It has fine green leaves, grows real close to the ground, and has tiny
yellow flowers. Stick a bunch of it in boiling water and add some sugar and
you’ll have a nice cup of tea to improve your appetite”. (Watler, 1973)</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Grand Cayman cemeteries and beach
ridges</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">In
recent years it has been found growing in some beach-ridge cemeteries. Do the
plants die naturally in a prolonged dry season and sprout during the rainy
season? Might it be an annual? This is a challenge to monitor, because it grows
amongst Zoysia grass, Donkey Weed <i>Stylosanthes hamata</i> and other ground covers. It
may have been pulled up and used for making tea. Cemeteries are weeded and
raked. Specimens of the plants I have
found from four different locations on Grand Cayman all key out to <i>P. c.</i> var.
<i>robusta</i>, the Grand Cayman endemic.</span></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">It
is difficult to transplant. Although it can be grown from seed, it seems to
require salt, such as at a beach ridge habitat, and fresh water, (when rain
falls after the dry season), for the seeds to germinate.</span></span><br />

culturally significant little wild flower that grows on sandy beach ridges:
gather some seeds and sow them in Miss Lassie’s sand yard and beach. Next year,
when the rains come, some may sprout! Tea Banker grew well in Capt. Carl Bush’s
sand yard 400 yards further east, next to Sand Cay Apartments.</span></span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
People who study Cayman’s environment are afraid that a delicate little flowering plant may be extinct.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
But anyone who proves them wrong will win $1,000 and a place in Cayman natural history.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The plant is the salvia caymanensis, a graceful part of flora that
can reach to a height of up to three feet, with tiny blue flowers and a
silvery cast to the underside of its leaves.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The reward is offered through the Darwin Initiative, a programme to
conserve endangered plants and animals. Partners include the Department
of Environment, the National Trust and the Garden Club.</div>

<br />
Mrs. Carla Reid was forced to bring her vehicle to a stop one day
last month so that trenching machinery could be moved on Queen’s
Highway.<br />
As she waited, she looked out of her window and saw something she had
feared did not exist any more – a uniquely Caymanian plant identified
years ago as salvia caymanensis and known less formally as Cayman sage.<br />
<table align="right" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="storyimgtbl" style="width: 150px;"><tbody>

<div class="himgcaption">
<span style="font-size: xx-small;">For
the presentation of the $1,000 reward, Mrs. Carla Reid and Mr. Mat
Cottam chose an area in which she found the Cayman sage. Unfortunately,
the flowers were no longer in bloom. Fortunately, Mr. Cottam had taken
close–ups the previous week. <i>Photo: Carol Winker</i></span></div>

Although Mrs. Reid travels that section of road frequently, it’s a 50
miles per hour stretch, so chances of seeing the plant’s little blue
flowers were minimal.<br />
The flowers apparently don’t stay in bloom very long: when
photographers went to the area last week, the blossoms were gone.
Without them, the plant is not as easy to identify.<br />
Mrs. Reid knew what she was looking for. The Darwin Initiative’s
recent offer of a $1,000 reward reminded her of her earlier interest.</div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">On the 12<sup>th</sup>. and 13<sup>th</sup>. of
October, the Dependency was again visited by a hurricane. For a few days before
there were ominous warnings and preparations were made with a view to
preventing as much damage as possible. The Schooner “Express” owned by James
Webster of Georgetown
was in harbour and rode through the storm without injury. At 9pm a <b>Norwegian
barque</b>, the “<b>Pallas”</b>, was driven on
the reef at South Sound and became a total wreck. The captain and crew were
saved the next morning.</span></span><br />

In this storm the wind (which blew from 80-85 miles an hour) did much less
damage than the sea. Captain David Fuertado, who has known Georgetown for over 80 years, informed me
that it was the heaviest sea he recollected, far surpassing the sea in the 1845
strom. The road in front of the Court House, parts of Church Street and New Road in Georgetown were washed away and tons of
rocks, sponges, seafans, fish and other refuse were deposited by the storm on
“the front”.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">At Red
Bay and Spotts the roads
were washed away and at the latter place the sea encroached 53 yards on the
land, bringing up an abundance of rocks and boulders which it deposited in the
form of a breakwater. In fact, the breakwater saved the houses of the Messrs.
Crighton. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">At Savannah
the sea came over the land and washed away parts of Hirst Road. At Newlands, a school of dead
Jack was found and a King Fish caught in a gully, a third of a mile from the
sea.</span></span></div>
