I wish to give credit for finding and using both the pictures and information on these listed plants. I couldn’Äôt have done this list without using the search engine Google. And I wish to thank and site the following web sites that I used in this article:

There are probably some other web sites that I have forgotten to mention, but I can assure you it is not intentional.

I also would like to thank two Bahamian’Äôs, one who I never met personally, the other, my neighbor for providing me with valued information and sparking my interest in finding out more about Bahamian Plants .The first person, is Jack Patterson who wrote a wonderful reference, Tree’Äôs of the Bahamas, and whom is deceased. The second person is Donny Carey, who has a wonderful knowledge of the plants in his native country. This is not intended to be a complete list of plants by any means. I have tried to include, those most common plants that people would encounter when both walking thru habited and natural areas of the Abaco Bahama region.
