Cedrelaceae, Humiriaceaa, Aurantiaceae, Spondiaceae. The 

 Aurantiiflora of Reichenbach embrace several unarranged 

 Hypericales and Limoniales, to which he adds Linaceae and 

 Leeaceae. The " Carpophyta, Thalamanthece " of Rudolphi 

 embrace unarranged the families from Hippocrateae to Li- 

 moniaceae, both inclusive, to which he adds Ampelideae, Dil- 

 leniaceae, Magnoliaceae, and Anonaceae. 



Fabales. — The Lcgumina of Ca3salpinus,or the Leguminoses 

 of Morison and Ray, must be considered the basis of this al- 

 liance; but they separated the herbaceous and woody plants. 

 Royen united them. 



Fabosje. — The Calophtfta of Bartling include, among others, 

 Rosales and Leguminosae ; Dr. Lindley unites these under 

 his Rosales with Connaraceae and Calycanthaceae. 



Violales. — The Violales of Dr. Lindley, are Violaceae 

 (Sauvagesiae), Samydaceae, Moringaceae, Droseraceae, Fran- 

 keniaceae. — Decandolle used the parietal structure as a means 

 of classification. Dr. Lindley improved upon Agardh's Val- 

 vispora?, and introduced the true distinctions. 



Passiflorales. — The Passionales of Dr. Lindley contain 

 Passifloraceae, Papayacea?, Flacourtiaceae, Pangiaceae, Ma- 

 lesherbiaceae, Turneracese. 



Passifloros^e. — The Peponiferce of Bartling are Samydeae, 

 Homalineae, Passifloreae, Turneraceae, Loaseae, Cucurbitaceae, 

 Grossularieae, Nopaleae. 



Portulacales. — The Succulenta? of Agardh are Melocac- 

 taceae, Crassulaceae, Mesembryanthaceae, Portulacaceaa. 



Eljeagnales. — The Proteince of Bartling are Laurinese, 

 Santalaceae, Elaeagneae, Thymelaeae, Proteaceae. Dr. Lindley 

 brought Penaeaceae into this neighbourhood. They are part 

 of the miscellaneous Rigidifolia? of Reichenbach. 



Acanthoses. — The true Monopetalce begin here ; they seem 

 to have been founded by Ray. Bartling's grouping of them 

 is masterly, though the interior arrangements are not satis- 

 factory. 



Lamiales. — These are the Labiates of Dr. Lindley. Dr. 

 Brown formed Verbenacece-JLamiacecB into a class. Arnott 

 unites Selaginacese-Myoporaceae-Verbenaceae. 



LAMioSiE. — These are theDiscigyn&Monopetalce of Agardh, 

 who adds Pedaliaceae: "fructu subtetraspermo ; caryopses, vel 

 capsula tetrasperma disco affixa." They are the Nucamentosce 

 of Dr. Lindley. 



Rhinanthales. — These are the Scrophularinece of Dr. 

 Brown, if we add Orobanchaceae, and omit Digitaleae, &c. 

 The Labiatiflora? of Bartling embrace unarranged the whole 

 Lamial union, if we add Oleaceae and Jasminaceae, and if
