A series of Families in immediate and continuous affinity with each 

 other, is called an alliance, and is indicated by a termination in ales : — 

 Ex. osMUNDALES are the Ferns. 



The Alliances of the two Races at the same distance from the initial 



alliance of each, are said to be Parallel ; Parallel Alliances are called 



FORMATIONS, and are indicated by a termination in os<e : — Ex. LAMioSiE 



include Lamiales and Boraginales. 



f Indicates that the Family or Tribe may be compound. 



[ ] Indicates that the order of succession among the Families so included is 



not settled. 

 ( ) Indicates that the evidence for the station is more conflicting than usual. 

 Dr. Lindley's Work on the Natural System is usually referred to for 

 the Families and Tribes.
