92 DR. O. STAPF ON THE FLORA OF MOUNT KINABALU. 
If we arrange the more important orders represented above 3000 feet according to 
their proportional share of endemism, we get the following sequence :—

There are 17 phanerogamic genera with more than 3 species above 3000 feet; they 
are arranged according to their proportional share of endemic species :—

. Thus it appears that Diplycosia, Rhododendron, and Vaccinium have produced the 
greatest number of species peculiar to Kinabalu; Ericacese are therefore the great 
leading feature in the flora of Kinabalu. 
_ The generic endemism is surprisingly small, being confined to the genera Havilandia, 
. a Boraginea allied to Myosotis and Trigonotis, and Scyphostegia, a somewhat doubtful 
 Monimiacea and a perfectly isolated type. i
