as constituting a small family, differing essentially both from 
Rosacez and Spireace® in their erect ovules, and from the 
latter also in the valvular estivation of their calyx.” But I 
think there must be some inadvertence or typographical error 
in this paragraph, or possibly both combined ; for certainly 
Kageneckia has horizontal, not erect ovules, and an imbricated 
not valvular calyx. Isee no more difference between them 
and Rosacee than between Spiræa and Potentilla. The 
unisexuality of the flowers is certainly no mark of distinc- 
tion, for Fragaria is hardly otherwise ; and the convolute 
cotyledons of Kageneckia have their parallel in Chameemeles.
