This gives a total of 124 species belonging to twenty-three 
genera, as against sixteen genera and thirty-seven species in the 
British Islands, and twenty-five species in the county of Sussex, 
which has a larger area than Simla, as here understood — a rich 
fern flora indeed! With the exception of the Gramineae (133 
species), ferns are more numerous than any Natural Order of 
flowering plants in the Flora of Simla.
