The Flora of the Patanas, in so far as this list represents 
it, consists of 289 species of Phanerogams and Ferns. 142 
species were found on the dry patanas below 4500 feet, and 
195 species on the humus patanas above 4500 feet ; 48 species 
being common to both, and found generally all over the patanas. 
About 50 per cent. of these belong to seven natural orders, 
among which they are distributed in the following proportions:— 
1. Below 4500 feet. 
Gramines ...... 13:3 per cent. 
Leguminos®.... 10°0  ,, 
Composite .... 84 » 
Rubiacew ...... 70 »

2. Above 4500 feet.
