Sorry for not including the data, i did intend to.
I tried your code but got this error:

> + , count(distinct Order) as Order
> + , count(distinct Family) as Family
> + , count(distinct Genus) as Genus

For the second question i would want:
The number of times each Order/Family and Genus was represented in each
eco_region.
I.E
Biak-Numfoor rain forests
Order: Alismatales-1, Araceae-1
Family: Homalomena -1, Asparagales-1
Genus: Orchidaceae-1, Bromheadia-1
So the number after each name is the count.
Thanks for the help.

use the 'sqldf' package. Also use 'dput' to include sample data since
it was impossible to use the data in the format you provided, so my
guess at a solution would be:
answer <- sqldf("
select ECO_NAME
, count(distinct Order) as Order
, count(distinct Family) as Family
, count(distinct Genus) as Genus
from yourData
group by ECO_NAME
")
Not sure exactly what you wanted in the second question; it would be
nice to include what some sample output would be so we have an idea of
what you are after.
