204 COMPARISON OF THE NATURAL ORDERS 



probably not discriminated by Linnaeus, in conse- 

 quence of the habit he had acquired of considering 

 his Didynamia Angiospermia as completely a natural 

 assemblage. 



41. Asperifoli^e — Borraginece 42. 



42. VerticillatjE — Labiate 39. 



43. Dumosje — Rhamni 95 constitute the bulk of 

 this Order ; with one or two Rutacece 81, more of 

 which latter are added in manuscript. Viburnum, 

 Sambucus and Rhus are also placed here, with some 

 marks of doubt, and Linnaeus ingenuously confesses 

 that he was dissatisfied with the whole. 



44. Sepiari^e — Jasminece 37. 



45. Umbellate- — Umbelliferce 60. 



46. Hederace/E — Aralice 59, at least so far as 

 concerns the first two genera, Panax and Aralia. 

 Xanthoxylon is one of the Rutacece 81 . The remain- 

 der, Hedera, Vitis, and Cissus, are proposed in the ma- 

 nuscript of Linnaeus to be transferred to his 34th Or- 

 der, Cucurbitacece, but he remarks that their fruit is 

 not tricapsular, or trilocular. The tendrils and fo- 

 liage may possibly have led to this idea of their affi- 

 nity, which is certainly not tenable on other grounds. 



47. Stellate — Rubiacece 57, sect. 1 and 2, the 

 remaining sections of Jussieu being faintly indicated 

 by Linnaeus in his sect. (3 and y. The latter had not 

 detected those characters, even of habit, which unite 

 the shrubby Rubiacece into a very distinct and natural 

 assemblage.
