Between the shrubs of the Cape of Good Hope aud those of 

 New Holland, there is likewise a great resemblance. May we not 

 suppose an agreement in respect of soil or situation, at the creation 

 of organic bodies, to have produced the resemblance which we here 

 discover 1 



In cold climates, the plants of the class Cryptogamia are most 

 numerous ; there are some tetradyuamious, umbelliferous and syn- 

 genesious plants ; but few trees or shrubs. 



In warm climates are found most trees and shrubs, many Filices, 

 twining, parasitical, succulent, and lilaceous plants, Bananas and 

 Palms. Herbaceous and annual plants vegetate only in the rainy 

 season. Those with pinnated and strongly reined leaves are found 

 chiefly in tropical countries.
