159 Corynocarpaceae 1} : Referred to the Berberidaceas by JUSSIEU and 

 SPUENGEL, wliile assigned to the Anacardiacete by HOOKER. At the same time, 

 the family is compared with the Myrsiiiacea} by some authors. ENGLEK 

 maintains that it should be referred to the Sapinclales, while VAN TIEGHEM 

 places it near the Geraniacese. 



160 Aquifoliacese 2) ' Near the Icacinacefe. Also related to the Celas- 

 tracera in the ' leiterformige Durchbreclmugen.' In habit, the family is so 

 very near the Sj'mplocacere, that it is altogether impossible to distinguish one 

 from the other in sterile specimens. This resemblance is not only externally 

 manifest but also internally, as is seen in the anatomical characters^. 



161 Celastraceae 4; : Closely connected with the Hippocrateacese, Sapiii- 

 dacese, Staphyleaceae, Icacinacese, Aquifoliacese and Rhamnacene, the family also 

 bears some resemblance to the Euphorbiacepe, as can be seen in a compari- 

 son of Elosodendron (Celastr.) with the Phyllantheie (Euphorb.) 



162 Hippocrateaceae" : The relation of tliis family to others is as 

 yet undetermined. Somewhat related to the Celastraceie and Trigoniacese. 



163 Salvadoraceae G) : The general affinity of this family with the 

 Celasatracete is incontestable. But, so fur as the gamophyllous corolla is con- 

 cerned, it should be brought qiute close to the Oleacete. 



164 Stackhousiaceae ~' ' Closely related to the Celastracese. 



165 Staphyleaceae ^ : These are closely related to the Sapindacere in 

 the copious albumen, in the intrastammal discus, in the straight embryo, and 

 in the anatomical characters. DE CANDOLLE and ENDLICHEB place the Sta- 

 phyleacese near the Celastracese. 



166 Icacinaceas 0) : Very near the Aquifoliacere ; but so far as the fruit 

 is concerned, they are qiute close to the Olacacese. 



167 Aceraceae 10) ' Nearest the Sapindaceie and Hippocastanacese.
