The Satureieae have 405 speces D. C.
The Gen with 11 sp & up have 41 varying species
-- .10 & dn 17/ 58 varying species
(Within Sat)
Labiatæ divided equally
s 1153 - sp with v 115
1153/1115,000 (99/1000
1124 - 125
405 - 58 smallest Sat
719-67
115 [÷] 1153 [=] 99/1000 67 [÷] 719 [=] 93/1000
So that if Satureieae be subtracted, Labiatæ divided subequally rule holds slightly in my favour.

Labiatæ. DC.
Genera with 8-16 speces inclusive
286 - 39 - 48
97 - 15 - 17 Subtract Satureieae
189 - 24 - 31 Genera with 8—16 within Satur
2110 - 244 - 342 genera with 17 sp & up.
271 39 Subtract Satur
1839 - 205
Genera with 17 sp & up without Satureieae
205 [÷] 1839 [=] 111/1000
Genera 8—16 without Satur
24 [÷] 189 [=] 127/1000
