Species. 358 
Of the 73 natural orders of Phanerogams 24 are represented by 
single species and 14 more by two species each. The most extensively 
represented natural order is Leguminosce, with 34 species ; followed after 
a long interval by Euphorhiacece and Qraminece, each 15 sp.; Oonvolvu- 
lacece, 14 sp.; Pubiacece-, 13 sp.,; Urticacece, 11 sp.; Gyperacece, 10 sp. 
Filices, amongst Cryptogams, are also represented by 10 species. None 
of the other orders have more than 8 species. 
As to genera: 29 of these natural orders of Phanergams are re¬ 
presented by one genus; 13 by 2 genera: 11 by 3 genera; 6 by 4 genera; 
6 by 5 genera; 4 by 6 genera; one natural order each where there are 
7 genera (^Apocynecs); 8 genera (jGraminece) ; 11 genei’a (Biibiacece) ; 12 
genera (Fuphorbiacece); and 22 genera (Leguminosce) : Leguminosce thus 
leads both as regards genera and species. The subjoined table exhibits 
the relationship of the orders according to the wealth of their repre¬ 
sentation.
