A few of the Peshawur plants, 36, are found also in China or 
Japan, but of these many are of very wide distribution throughout 
the world, and the same remark applies to 78 species that are corn- 
mon to Peshawur and Australia, as well as to 97 species that occur 
also in America, continental or insular. 
Of the 369 Peshawur species, 1385 are found in at least three out 
of the five great divisions of the globe. Of these, however, a consi- 
derable proportion do not extend, in Africa and Europe, far from the 
Mediterranean, so that although occurring in three continents, they 
are not so widely distributed as the mere statement of the latter 
fact would appear to indicate. 
The results of the above may be thus briefly stated ; Indian species, 
188 ; Himalayan, 123: common to the plains of India and the Hima- 
laya, 39; Himalayan, which have been found in the plains to the 
west of the Sutlej only, 68; British species, 100, of which 20 have 
not been found to the east of the Sutle]; of South Hurope, 61 ; 
African, 146; of Caucasus, Asia Minor, Syria or Persia, 101; of 
Siberia and Central Asia, 59, of which 43 occur also in the preced- 
ing section; Arabian, 41, of which 18 are common also to Persia, 
&e.; of Affghanistan, Beluchistan and Sind, 47,10 of these being 
peculiar ; of Punjab and arid tracts of India, 32; of China and Japan, 
86; Australian, 78; American, 97 ; and occurring in at least three of 
the five continents, 135. 
I shall conclude this already too lengthy paper by some re- 
marks on a few of the species individually, noting those circumstances
