It appears, from this comparison, that the families are 
by no means of the same nature in both countries. In 
Germany, thirteen families occur, wanting in Altai; viz.— 
the Aristolochia, Verbenacee, Jasminee, Lobeliacee, Cucurbi- 
tacee, Loranthee, Hederacee, Terebinthacee, Aceree, Cap- 
paridee, Tiliacee, Cisti, and Myrtacee. These, together, 
contain forty-five species, and, therefore, form only 1-64th 
part of the whole German Flora. On the contrary, two 
families occur in Altai, the Frankeniacee and Reaumuriacee, 
which, together, include three species wanting in Germany. 
Again, those families that are common to both countries, do 
not contain an equal proportional number of species in both. 
The Cyperacee amount in Germany to 1-22d of the whole 
Flora, and in Altai to 1-32d. The Grasses in Germany, 
which are almost 1-15th, are in Altai 1-16th; the Amentacee 
1-28th in Germany, and in Altai 1-30th; the Personate in 
Germany 1-29th, in Altai 1-26th; the Labiate in Germany 
1-23d, in Altai 1-27th; the Aroidec, Jumcee, Sarmentacece, 
Tridez, and Orchidee, form altogether in Germany, 1-2lst, 
and in Altai only 1-35th part of the whole Flora. Germany, 
on the contrary, contains only two Polygona more mn i 
Altai. This family amounts there to 1-85th, here to 1-50th; 
and, in respect to the Chenopodia, the German Flora stands 
so far behind, that this family in Germany only numbers 
167th, but in Altai 1-27th. Also in eine 
Nea abd Convolvuli, Germany is poorer than the Altai;
