r 
In the above work 8,271 species, of which 4,230 are endemic or not known 
to occur outside of the Chinese Empire are enumerated, but Sir WiUiatn T. 
Thistleton-Dyer considers that the most moderate estimate civn not put the 
whole flora as containing less than 12,000 species. Very many of the species 
enumerated extend to the Philippines, especially to northern Luzon, and the 
work is quite essential to the student of the Philippine flora.
