cle is bent over the Cotyledons, without any separate 

 Albumen ; in those with regular ones, the Embryo is 

 enfolded in a thickish membranous Albumen, and 

 the Radicle is straight. The Cotyledons usually rise 

 in the form of seminal leaves, like the generality of 

 dicotyledonous plants; sometimes they remain below, 

 distinct from the first Leaves. Stem herbaceous, 

 shrubby, or arboreous, for the most part alternately 

 branched. Leaves with Stipulas, alternate, in a very 

 few imperfectly opposite, sometimes simple, more 

 generally ternate, or digitate, or once or repeatedly 

 pinnate. Inflorescence various." 



Such are the marks of this great natural Order, 

 which has no relationship at all to the last, in cha- 

 racters or properties, as far as I can perceive, though 

 Jussieu hints at an affinity between those with regular 

 Flowers, and some of the monogynous Rosacea:. The 

 difficulties attending the papilionaceous tribe, with 

 respect to their being referred to the Linnsean class 

 Diadelphia, have already been explained, p. 48. Jus- 

 sieu's Sections labour under the very same exceptions.
