You know the sum of (n/N)^2 is 0.2607. Take away every other (n/N)^2 value from that to find
S. litorea (n/N)^2 value.
Square root that for n/N value
You can find N by rearranging from a known species.
E.g For G. Cottonae: 3/N = 0.0361, so you can rearrange for N. This would be the same if you used G. Servulis, 1/N = 0.0120.
So you get for S. Litorea n/0.0120 = number value for n/N.
