It is obvious to all who have considered the subject, that a mere 

 enumeration of the species known to exist in a given region gives 

 of itself but little information as to the character of its flora: 

 nevertheless the statistical method, to which somewhat too much 

 importance has, in my opinion, been attributed, does lead towards 

 some probable conclusions, and gives indications which maj not 

 be unimportant. 



Taken as a whole, the figures In the preceding Table show verj 

 distinctly that the Marocco flora is altogether a portion of that 

 great Mediterranean flora which, with local peculiarities, extends 

 from the Indus to the Atlantic Islands. Excluding all the species 

 Widely spread beyond those limits either through the tropics 

 or the temperate zone, we have remaining 1160 species, of 

 which 820 are common to some considerable portions of the 



Mediterranean 



Of the remaining 340 species about one 



half, or 1G5, are peculiar to Marocco. Next come 96 common to 

 Spain and Marocco, nearly all of these being, as far as we know 

 confined to the neighbourhood of Tangier and Tetuan. A much 

 smaller proportion, only 64, are common to Algeria and Marocco
