This analysis was based on my memoir on the Phanerogams published in 

 1922 {22p). Since that time several pending questions have been restudied, additional 

 plant material has come to hand, and recent monographs have been consulted. 

 The results were communicated above, and we shall now proceed to the following 

 arrangement of the angiosperms. 



I. Andine-Chilean element. — 69 (46.9 %).
