THE FLORA OF MOUNT PULOG.

Table shouting the families and the number of genera, species, etc., of the 
Pulog flora — Continued. 
In the above table representatives of 357 genera and 528 species are 
considered, of which 17 species are undoubtedly introduced plants in the 
Philippines. Endemic genera are represented by Merrilliobryum, Gur- 
rania, Aniselytron , Monostachya , Cleistoloranthm, Loheria, and Merrittia, 
four being proposed in the following enumeration. Endemic species 
amount to 224, or about 42 per cent of the whole, approximately the 
same percentage of endemism as is found on Mount Mariveles in the 
Province of Bataan, Luzon. 
The flora of the Benguet-Lepanto region, in the area approximately 
limited by the regional distribution of Pinus insularis Endl., is quite 
different from that of the remainder of the Philippines and is essentially 
Asiatic rather than Malayan. In this region are to be found most of 
the strictly continental and boreal types of plants that occur in the 
Philippines, and a great number of these northern types are not found 
on even the highest mountains south of Benguet. In this same region 
many genera, characteristic of the Malayan flora as a whole, are unrepre- 
sented, although more or less abundantly distributed in other parts of 
the Archipelago. Representatives of 81 genera are found on Mount Pulog 
alone that for the most part are widely distributed in the Benguet-Lepanto
