also closely related to tha Cmiomacere in the verticillate stipulate leaves, and 

 in the presence of the inner and outer layers of the pericarps. 



121 Cunoniaceae : These come close to the Saxrfragacese. But, the 

 regular two-seriate seeds on the placenta and the tendency of the carpels to 

 grow together, bring the Cunoniacete near the CrassulaceEe. 



122 Myrothamnaceae 2) : This family is closely allied to the Cunoniaceaa 

 in habit, in the opposite stipulate leaves, in the long, erect dense terminal flower- 

 ed spike, in the bracts and bracteoles, in the fruit, and in the stamiuodes. 



123 Bruniaceas : These approach very close to the Saxifragacere in 

 anatomy, in flowers, and in fruits. They are near the Cunoniacese in their 

 capitate flowers, and are also related to the Haniarnelidacese in fruits. 



124 Hamamelidacese : Certainly closely related to the Saxifragaceao 

 and Cunoniacea3 ; but, in the anatomy of the wood, the family agrees with 

 the Cunoniaceaa and Bruniacefe. 



125 Eucommiacese r) ' Near Trochodendracese and Harnarnelidacese. 



126 Platanaceae r : Related to some extent to the Hamamelidacese in 

 the form of the styles and stigmata. The family is also connected with the 

 Rosacepe in the structure of the stein, in the presence of phlorogluciu, in the 

 perigyuous flowers with perfect apocarpous gynreceum, and especially to the 

 Spira?ere of the latter family in the receptacle, in the carpels, and in the leaves. 



127 Crossosomatacese 75 : Near the Rosacese. 



128 Rosacese S) - In floral structure tliis family bears some resemblance 

 to the Calycanthacese and Ranunculaceae ; also to the Coinbretacere, Myrfcacese, 

 'Thymelaeacese, Leguniinosna, and to the Saxifragace^e. 



129 Connaraceae 9) : Intimately allied to the Leguminosie, and also re- 

 lated to some extent to the Anacardiacese. 



130 Leguminos39 10) : Bears some affinity to the Rosacese, and to the 

 Connaraceae ; also to the Rauunculacere. 1 ^
