A list with two elements. The first element contains the name of the dataset. The second element contains a data frame with 2 columns and 16 rows. Each row contains the area of an island (km2) in the Galapagos (1st column) and the number of plants on that island (2nd column).Preston (1962) also includes the island of Albemarle, but we have excluded this as it is almost six times larger than the second largest island.
