Abstract
The location and extent of forest types described in the following chapters correspond with the surface areas inventoried on the map. The descriptions which follow refer arbitrarily to environments ranging from coastal zones to mountain tops in much the same way as the first explorers approached the island. The vegetation of the Central regions is described first in detail, and the main differences encountered in the Southern and Northern areas are then specified.
