compositous ones. The presence of inulin is not without significance in 

 explaining the kinship of the two families. Tli3 Cichorioideas, a subfamily of 

 the Composite, has articulated laticiferous vessels like those of the Campauu- 

 lace^e. As to the relation between the Campanulacese and the Cucurbitacese, 

 there are many points worthy of mention. Ths typical epigyuoiis pentamerous 

 flowers, the frequent occurrence of the gamophyllous corolla, the tendency of 

 the stamens to grow together and the calyx Avith narrow leaf-like lobes, and 

 finally the haplosternonous andrceceum, all suggest the close affinity of the two 

 families. 



282 Goodeniacese 1 - 1 ' Very near the Campanulacese. Moreover, it re- 

 sembles the Gentianacea?, as is seen in a comparison of Veil da (Gooden.) 

 with Liitinanihcm'iim (Gent.) 



283 Brunoniaceae } ' Near the Gooderdacese and Plumbagmaceae. 



284 Stylidiacese 0>) ( = CandoUeaceae) : Related to the Cainpauulaceaa. It 

 Is somewhat related to the Cucurbitaceas in the staminal column with extrorse 

 anthers . 



285 Calyceraceae 5 ' : Near the Composite.
