phidium, Wachendorfia, Dilatris, fig. 153, and Argo- 

 lasia, (Schreber's Lanaria, Gen. PI. 799,) most of 

 them enter Mr. Brown's well-founded Order, entitled 

 Hcemodoracece, Prodr. N. Holl. v. 1. 299. The true 

 Irides (Ensatce of Linn.), a most natural Order, are 

 very ably illustrated, and their genera better distin- 

 guished than before, by Mr. Ker Bellenden, in Sims 

 and Kon. Ann. of Bot. v. 1. 219, whose ideas are 

 adopted by Mr. Dryander, in Ait. Hort. Kew.

 Stamens (97). 



" Calyx of one leaf, superior, tubular, or deeply di- 

 vided. Corolla none, as in CI. 3;" (unless, like 

 Linnaeus, and all but Jussieuan botanists, we con-

 guments, manifestly analogous to the Petals of all

 litary, or wanting, rarely (if ever) multiplied. 

 Stigma simple or divided. Fruit of 1 or several 

 cells, pulpy or capsular.'" 



Ord. 19. Mus^e. " Calyx (Corolla Linn.) supe-

 perfect. Style simple. Stigma sometimes divided. 

 Fruit of 3 cells, with one or many Seeds in each. 

 Embryo in the hollow of a farinaceous Albumen.
