Plate A gives the same relations graphically. It shows only the 

 relative position of the ten dominant orders of the Bombay Presidency 

 in the different botanical regions of British India, e. (/., the Legu- 

 mmosce take the first place in the Bombay Presidency, and the third 

 in the Eastern and Western Himalaya ; the Orchidacece occupy the 8th 

 position in the Bombay Presidency, but are not to be found amongst 

 the 10 dominant orders of the Indus and Gangetic Plain regions, 

 etc. A dotted line indicates that the given dominant order of Bom- 

 bay is not amongst the 10 dominant orders of the respective region. 



The proportion of Monocotyledons to Dicotyledons is 1 : 3'2, 

 whereas the whole Indian Flora shows the proportion 1 : 2*3. The 

 Dicotyledons comprise 115 orders with 773 genera and 1,934 species ; 

 the Monocotyledons 26 orders with 195 genera and 594 species, and 

 the Gymnospermoi only 1 order with 2 genera and 2 species.
