Syngenesia, a class of the artificial system correspond- 

 ing with Compositoe of the natural system, and comprising 

 the largest of the vegetable families, has been recombined 

 by M. Cassini, in twenty subordinate divisions called 

 tribes, with the following titles: 1, Lactucece. 2, Carlineae, 

 3, Centauries. 4, Carduinew. 5, Echinopsete. 6, j4rc- 

 fotidece. 7, Calendulece. ,8, Tagetinete. 9, Helimthem, 

 10, Amhrosiece. 11, Anthemidece. 12, Inuleoe. 13, As- 

 terece. 14, Senecionece. 15, Nassauviece. 16, Mutisiete, 

 17, Tussilaginece. 18, AdenostylecB. 19, Eupatariew. 20, 

 Vemoniece; most of which, in his view, resolve into sec- 

 tions as consistent and mutually distinct as the tribe oi 

 which they are component parts. For instance, Inuiece,
