As can be seen in the above list there are 69 orders, 272 genera and 507 

 species. Of these are indigenous : 58 orders, 226 genera and 4.40 species. 

 From now we shall confine ourselves to the indigenous plants only. 



The following are the 10 dominant orders : — 



1. Graminese with 65 species in 25 genera. 



In order to get a clearer insight into the relations of the flora of "W. 

 Rajputana with the neighbouring countries, we add a list of the 10 dominant 

 orders of N. Gujarat, the Indus Plain region and the Gangetic Plain region. 

 The fact that W. Rajputana itself belongs to the Indus Plain region 

 cannot prevent us from instituting this comparison, as W. Rajputana was 

 practically unknown from a botanical point of view when J. D. Hooker 

 wrote his " Sketch of the Flora of British India."
