The concluding portion of this enquiry into the origin of the 
Sundribun Flora involves a brief review of the distribution of the 
species in order to determine whence these have come into the 
j-egion. 
When those species that have possibly been originally introduced

follows : — 
Both westward and eastward from the Sundribuns . . 31
