12 Mr. Sauispury on the Perigynous Insertion 
and it falls off soon, without any of the usual characters of a Calyx: 
the Torus in this species is very conspicuous, for which reason I 
mention it. The third Order contains the Protege, which, as has 
been ¿said before, have undoubtedly a true corolla: there are 
about eight Genera in this Order not yet distinguished by Jus- 
sieu. Laurus in the fourth Order appears to me also to have a 
legitimate corolla: the stamina at any rate are inserted in the 
Torus, so that it must be placed among the Hypogynous genera. 
The fifth Perigynous Order of Polygonze is so common in all 
gardens, fields, and road sides, that it will be a very easy busi- 
ness for any one to satisfy himself that their stamina are not in- 
serted in the Involucrum ; and therefore whether it be a calyx or 
corolla is no matter, they must be hypogynous. The same holds 
good with the sixth Order of Atriplices, only that the Torus is 
often so much larger, that there cannot remain the least shadow 
of doubt respecting the Insertion : in Rivina Dodecandra particu- 
larly, the Stamina are ranged upon the receptacle in three dif- 
ferent rows, one above the other. The ninth Class contains ge- 
nera with Perigynous Corollas, not Stamina ; that is, the Corolla 
inserted in the Calyx: the same powerful objection remains to 
be brought against this distinction, namely that it is not founded 
in Truth, the Corolla being really inserted in the receptacle; 
nay in most of the Genera, it is quite separate at the base both 
from the Calyx and Stamina, as in Kalmia, Rhododendron, Aza- 
lea, Ledum, Itea, Erica, Calluna, Salaris, Andromeda, Vaccinium, 
Menziesia, Clethra, Pyrola: this order I have particularly stu- 
died, and here again we have an instance of Germen superum 
and inferum in the same Family. The fourth order of Campa- 
nulée closes this class, and in every species I have yet examined 
there is a flat receptacle covering the disk of the germen, in 
which both Calyx and Corolla originate. We come now to the
