Thus the Cape Mora, so far as described, contains fewer genera 
and more species than the Australian, and is in short much less varied 
in character though more rich in specific forms. As in Australia 
there are here but two Orders that are altogether or almost endemic, 
Meliantheae and Chailletiaceae; the rest are widely diffused, being 
Asiatic, or European, or both. 
Of the genera, not more than 40 are European, against 50 
European in Australia, and of the species about 15 are European and 
Northern types against 20 in Australia. On the other hand about 
65 genera out of 165 (or 1:2'5) are endemic or nearly so, whilst in 
Australia only 75 out of 243 (or 1:3 2) are so. 
Then of the species, as near as can be estimated without entering 
into minutiae, all but 100 or so of the 1316 are peculiar to Africa, 
which leaves a much larger proportion of endemic species in that Elora 
than occur in the Australian Mora. 
The European plants of a more northern type contained in this 
volume of the Cape Elora are:— 
Thalictrum minus. 
^Ranunculus aquatilis. 
# Nasturtium officinale. 
Rarbarea prcecox. 
?Arabis glabra .* 
Alyssum maritimum. 
Sisymbrium thalianum. 
^Senebiera didyma. 
„ Coronopus. 
*Lepidum ruderale. 
Frankenia Icevis. 
„ pulverulenta. 
Hypericum humifusum. 
Cerastimn viscosum. 
*Spergularia rubra. 
Althcea Ludwigii. 
Malva parvijlora . 
Those marked # are also Australian, whilst of other genera 
which are North European but not Australian, there are— Corydalis, 
Matthiola , Rrassica , Sinapis, Tamar ix, Dianthus , Silene , Imp aliens, 
and JErodium. 
The most remarkable ordinal and generic features common to 
the Australian and Cape Eloras are the abundance of Kutaceae proper 
(both endemic genera and species), in both, amounting to 15 genera 
and 145 species in Australia, and 10 genera and 178 species in the 
Cape; of lihamnese, wherein the peculiar genus Rhylica , with 58 
species, represents Trymalium and its allies with 69 species in 
Australia. Then Malvaceae, Sterculiaceae, Polygaleae and Zygophylleae 
are very prevalent in both Eloras. 
- On the other hand, Cruciferae ( Heliophila), Geraniaceae, Oxali- 
deae, and Celastrineae are very abundant at the Cape, but compara¬ 
tively rare in Australia, being, as it were, replaced in the latter by 
Eilleniaceae, Pittosporeae, and Sterculiaceae. Except lap aver horridum , 
there is no species in the two volumes common to the Cape and 
Australia that is not also European or Asiatic, nor are there above 
* The Turrit is Dregeana, Bond, does not differ, according’ to the description, from 
Arabis ( Turrit is) glabra.
