Norman, J. C.
Phenological observations were made on 101 tropical woody species over a ten-year period. Four distinct categories could be recognized: species flowering throughout the year (23.8%), once a year (36.6%), twice a year (35.6%) and thrice a year (4%). In general, for species not flowering continuously throughout the year, flowering was from July to April with peaks in March, April, Oct. and Dec. For species flowering once a year, flowering was concentrated between Nov. and Jan. whilst for species flowering twice a year, flowering occurred mostly from Oct. to April. Species flowering once a year were in bloom for the longest period (5.8 months), followed by species flowering twice a year (4 months) and by those flowering thrice a year (1.9 months).
