The foregoing list offers many interesting points of comparison 
with the Flora of Tibet. The proportions of orders, genera, and 
species are much the same, whilst the totals are much higher, 
though the area over which they were collected is very small. 
Leguminose and Composite are relatively much less numerously 
represented, whereas sixteen additional orders come in, and the 
number of petaloid monocotyledons is proportionately much 
larger. The Orchidacew, for example, absent from our Tibetan 
collections, though Orchis salina was collected in the Koko Nor 
region by Przewalski, are represented by no fewer than twelve 
genera and twenty-three species.
