nly faint and equivocal distinctions 



The parts commonly selected to distiftgnisli tbe chai-ac- 

 tere of gen/eric ^loups, owing to a- great degree of eqna^ 

 bility in the transitions of the species of the natural or- 

 der to which onr plant belongs, having been found to afford 



; it has occurred to Mr. 



Brown to avail himself of the seminal viscera, called cotyle- 

 dons or seed-lobes, in aid of the former inefficient means. 

 The account to which he has turned the expedient will be 

 seen by referring to the characters in his reform of the genera 

 of this class in the late edition of the Hortug Kewensis.
