Basic statistics for the Preliminary Checklist
The basic statistics for the checklist are broken down, firstly into a an alphabetical listing of tribes, the genera in the tribe and totals of genera, species, endemic species and overall totals (Table 1); secondly, a breakdown of the numbers of species (genera) by tribe in descending order of size (Table 2), and; thirdly, a breakdown of the ten largest genera (tribe) and the number of species (endemic species) that they contain (Table 3).
