We thus have seventy-five natural orders containing medici- 

 nal plants, including 1020 species, a part of which only are yet known 

 to possess remedial properties. We have also fifty-one orders, 

 which include no very active medicinal plants, embracing 462 species. 

 Many of these, however, as the Grass and Cypress tribe, embrace 

 genera of a medicinal character.
