180 Bombacaceae 1) : Near the Malvaceae. 



181 Sterculiaceae :) : Without doubt closely related to the Malvaceae in 

 general characters. But in the stamens and gyuaaceum and cocci, they are 

 very like the Euphorbiaceae. 



182 Scytopetalaceae !) : PIERRE places tliis family near the Theaceae. 

 EXGLEE refers it to the Malvales. 



Series XXXVIII. Farietaley 



183 Dilleniaceae 4) : Certainly related closely to the Theaceae, but in 

 other respects, this family presents some resemblance to the Ranunculacese and 

 to the Rosaceae. 



184 Eucryphiaceae r : Somewhat comparable with the Rosaceae and 

 Saxifragaceae. Also near the Guttifera? and Theaceae. 



185 Ochnaceae fi) : As the family type shows the spiro-cyclical arrangement 

 of the floral elements, it certainly admits of comparison with the Rauunculaceae

 Asteropeiea?, and with the Marcgraviaceae through the Pelliciereae. At the same 

 time, they are related to the Dilleniaceae on one hand, and to the Guttiferae 

 and Dipterocarpaceae on the other. Also they admit of comparison with the 

 Metaclilamydea?, as some genera such as Anneslea show the gamopetalous
