New records of plants for San Andres and Old Providence islands (International Biosphere Reserve Seaflower), Caribbean Colombia

Abstract

Fifty seven new records of vascular plants are reported for the Archipelago of San Andres and Old Providence, part of the International Biosphere Reserve Seaflower. Of these, about 81% have been introduced for agriculture or ornamental purpose. With these introductions, we report ten new families and 30 new genera for the Archipelago. The possible impacts of some of these introductions are discussed. © 2013 Check List and Authors.
