As regards habitat it will be gathered from what has been said 
above that a very large proportion of the flora is of arborescent forest- 
type. Hext in point of numbers to the inland forest species, though only 
half as numerous, are the litoral species ; following these at about an 
equal interval are parasitic or saprophytic species—a class here almost 
entirely composed of Fungi ; after these in succession epiphytes ; marine 
species, (mainly Algcs) j weeds of cultivation ; cultivated species ; marsh 
or water plants; and species of open grassy slopes. 
The subjoined table gives the numbers of each class of species ; the 
meadow species, here separated from the forest species, are, owing to the 
smallness of their numbers, in all subsequent tables included with the 
forest species.
