1132 CXXV. VERBENACE^. 



Ordo characteribus carpologtcis distinctus, cum nullo facile confusua, etsi genera perpauca inter 

 Verhenaceas Viticeas et Lahiatas Aj'ugoideas fere media adsiiit. Genera pauca olim cum Boragineis 

 Ehreiieis confusa facile distinguuntur micropyle et radicula inferis, at hac nota VetbenacecB a Myo- 

 porineis Sclagincisque separantur, a ca&teris Gamopetalis 2-carpellatis seminibus semper {Espadma ex- 

 ccpta?) collateraliter in locellis distinctis segregntis.
