steum, fig. 239, Polycarpon, Donatio, Forst., Mollugo, 

 Minuartia and Queria. 



Sect. 2. Cal. the same. Stam. 4. Styles 2 or 4. 

 Buffonia and Sagina. 



Sect. 3. Cal. the same. Stam. 5 to 8. Styles 2, 

 3, or 4. A/sine (A. media is a Stellaria. Fl. Brit. 473), 

 Pharnaceum, Moehringia and Elatine. 



Sect. 4. Cal. the same. Stam. 10. Styles 3 or 5. 

 Bergia, Spergula, Cerastium, Cherleria, Arenarix 

 and Stellaria, fig. 240. (Arenaria, Alsine and Ho- 

 losteum vary into each other, except the last may be 

 determined, as I believe, b} r it's jagged Petals.) 



Sect. 5. Cal. tubular. Stam. 10, 5 alternate ones 

 generally attached to the Petals. Styles 2, 3, or 5. 

 Gypsophila, Saponaria, Dianlhus, fig. 15, 1G, Silene, 

 Cucubalus, Lychnis and Agrostemma. 



Sect. 6. Cal. the same. Stam. fewer than 10. Styles 

 2 or 3. Velezia, Drypis, and Sarothra. 



Sect. 7. Genera akin to Caryophyllece. Rotala, 

 Frankenia, fig. 241, Liniim and Lechea. The latter 

 maybe referred to Sect. 1. Rotala belongs, as Jus- 

 sieu suspected, to his Salicaria, Ord. 91. Linum is 

 very ambiguous, and it's affinity has not been satis- 

 factorily determined by any botanist. Frankenia 

 bears some relationship to the Ficoidea?, Ord. 87. 



Class 14. Dicotyledones. Corolla polype- 

 talous. Stamens perigynous.
