Guttiferis differunt foliis alternis v. si folia rarius opposita floribus is pedicellis alternis, flori- 
bus vulgo hermaphroditis, rarissime 4-meris, sepalis petalisque nunquam decussatis, embryone sepius 
eurvato, cotyledonibus eonspieuis liberis etsi in nonnullis generibus adhue parvis; a Hypericineis 
habitu nunquam herbaceo, foliis et inflorescentia, et sepius characteribus floralibus seu carpicis pluri-
