摘要：

Intensive ecological monitoring on Mona Island, Puerto Rico, yielded seven new floristic records for the island. We report for the first time the following flowering plants: Chamaescyse ophthalmica (Pers.) D. G. Burch, Flueggea acidoton (L.) G. L. Webster (both Euphorbiaceae), Heteropogon contortus (L.) P. Beauv. ex Roem. & Schult. (Poaceae), Neptunia plena (L.) Benth. (Fabaceae), Piriqueta ovata (Bello) Urb. (Tumeraceae), Rochefortia acanthophora (DC.) Griseb. (Boraginaceae), and Schoepfia schreberi J. F. Gruel. (Olacaceae). W also document the first voucher for the previously reported Broughtonia domingensis (Lind.) Rolfe (Orchidaceae).
