The following table shows the distribution of the native species. 
By Mascarene types, we mean plants confined to Bourbon, Mauritius, 
Madagascar, and the Comoros ; not using the term, as has been done 
recently by Grisebach, to cover the two former islands alone. It will be 
noted, that half the wild plants of this flora are restricted to the 
Mascarene archipelago, and that it contains an appreciable percentage) 
both of plants, which are African, without reaching Asia, and Asiatic 
without reaching Africa : —
