Book excerpt: Excerpt from Trees of Jost Van Dyke (British Virgin Islands) The number of tree species counted in an area is subject to the definition used for a tree. Trees may be defined as woody plants having one erect perennial stem or trunk at least 3 inches centimeters) in diameter at breast height or at feet or meters), a more or less definitely formed crown of foliage, and a height of at least 12 to 15 feet (4 meters). Several species listed here were not observed so large on J ost Van Dyke, though they probably attained larger dimensions in the original vegetation and reach tree size elsewhere in the Virgin Islands. Thus, their occurrence on J ost Van Dyke should be cited in tree ranges. J ost Van Dyke obviously has fewer tree species than the larger and higher islands nearby, which obtain more rainfall from the trade winds. St. John (altitude feet) has larger areas of moist evergreen forest. The richer forest on Sage Mountain (altitude feet) on Tortola has been mentioned.
