slight, and scarcely discernible in any one point, 

 except the valves and fixed partitions of the Capsule 

 in Syringa, obscurely resembling Justicia &e., but 

 not, like them, elastic, nor is there any resemblance 

 in the number, form or disposition, of the Seeds or 

 their supports. 



Mr. Brown separates the true Jasminece, whose 

 Seeds are erect, with hardly any Albumen, and their 

 Corolla salver-shaped, in from 5 to 8 segments, with 

 an imbricated twisted Aestivation; from the Oleince 

 of Hoffmansegg and Link, whose Seeds are pendu- 

 lous, with a copious, dense, fleshy Albumen, and a 

 deeply four-cleft Corolla, sometimes wanting. 



Ord. 38. Vitices. "Calyx tubular, often per- 

 manent. Corolla tubular, for the most part irregular 

 in the limb. Stamens generally 4, didynamous, rare- 

 ly 2, or 6. Style 1 . Stigma variously shaped. Seeds 

 definite, either naked, or more frequently in a pulpy, 

 sometimes capsular, pericarp. Stem shrubby (or ar- 

 boreous), in a few herbaceous. Leaves opposite for 

 the most part ; as are the Flowers when corymbose ; 

 but when spiked they are alternate." These different 

 forms of inflorescence mark the 2 Sections. 



In the 1st, are Clerodendrum, Vite.v, Callicarpa, 

 Comutia, Tectona (T/ieka Juss.) &c; in the 2d, Pe- 

 trcea, Citharexylum, Duranta,Ve?*be?ia,fig. 174, and 

 others. Eranthemum, Selago, and Hebenstretia 

 stand as "akin to Vitices.'"
