pheae), Rhizophoreae, Vochysieae, Combretaceae, embracing 

 nearly both alliances. 



Myrtales. — The Myrtina? of Bartling are Memecyleae, 

 Melastomaceae, Myrtaceee (Lecythidaceae, excl. Punica). 



Rosales. — These are the Rosacea; of Jussieu, with the ad- 

 dition of some later discoveries. 



Saxifragales. — The Saxifragacea? of De Candolle include 

 Saxifrageae, Hydrangeaceae, Cunoniaceae, Baueraceae, Escal- 

 loniaceae. The Corniculata of Reichenbach contain Cras- 

 sulaceae (? Cephalotus, ? Francoa), Saxifrageae {Genuinae 

 (Adoxa), Cunoniaceae (Bauera, Hydrangea), PhiJadelpheae}, 

 Bruniaceae. His Ribesiaceae contain Cacteae, Grossularieae, 

 Escallonieae (Aristotelia). 



Cucurbitales. — These are the last four families of Bart- 

 ling's Peponifera, with the addition of Begoniacese, the affi- 

 nity of which he hints at. The Cucurbitales of Dr. Lindley 

 are Cucurbitaceae, Loasaceae, Cactaceae, Homaliaceae; he 

 places Begoniaceae near them. 



Chenopodiales. — The Oleracea? of Agardh contain Che- 

 nopodeae (excl. Galenia, Salvadora, Theligonum), Rivineae, 

 Phytolacceae(Miltus),Amaranthaceae, § Illecebreae, Petivereae, 

 Polygoneae. The Curvembryosa? of Dr. Lindley are Amaran- 

 taceae, Chenopodiaceae, Tetragoniaceae, Phytolaccaceae, Poly- 

 gonaceae, Petiveriaceae, Scleranthaceae, Nyctaginaceae, Meni- 

 spermaceae. The families of the Portulacales and Chenopo- 

 diales require to be recast; Bartling has effected much in 

 his Caryophyllina?. 



Bor agin ales. — These are nearly the Asperifolia? of Ray. 

 Linnaeus noticed the circinate inflorescence. The Tubiflora 

 of Bartling constitute unarranged the Boraginal union, if we 

 add Plumbaginaceae and Verbasceae-Digitaleae, and if we 

 omit Retziaceae. 



Gentianales. — These are the Gentiana of Jussieu, if we 

 add Retziaceae. 



Apocynales. — These are nearly the Contorti of Linnaeus. 

 The Contorts of Bartling embrace the Gentianales and Apo- 

 cynales, if we add Retziaceae, and omit Lygodysodeaceae. 



Galiales. — The llubiacina? of Bartling are Lygodyso- 

 deaceae, Rubiaceae (Stellatae), Caprifoliaceae, Viburneae. 



Cornales. — The Cornales of Dr. Lindley are Hamame- 

 laceae (Fothergilleae), Cornaceae, Loranthaceae. 



Geraniales. — The Geraniacea? of St. Hilaire and Richard 

 are Oxalideae, Tropaeoleae, Balsamineae, Linaceae, Geranieae. 

 The Geraniales of Dr. Lindley are Geraniaceae, Balsaminaceas 

 (Tropaeoleae), Oxalidaceae ; he mentions the affinity of Suria-
