Do. do. natural order, 8’82 to 1. 
Do. Dicotyledons to Monocotyledons, 3*15 to 1. 
Number of natural orders containing only one genus, 26.

The author then enumerates the prominent orders and genera, 
mentions the proportion of ligneous species, and gives a sketch 
of the geographical distribution of the plants of Otago under the 
groups Endemic, Australian, Antarctic, South American, Poly-
