Having enumerated the flora, we may proceed to deal with 

 its methods of distribution in more detail. In the first place, 

 let us exclude those plants which occur in the dry zone* of 

 Ceylon as recorded in Trimen's Flora, since these have not to 

 travel 40 miles to reach the summit. These plants are : —
