OF LINNAEUS WITH THOSE OF JUSSIEU. 205 



48. Aggregate — The two systems do not here ac- 

 cord, and it is necessary to explain some manuscript 

 alterations of Linnaeus. This Order is divided, in the 

 Gen. PI., into four sections. « consists of Statice only : 

 j3 of Hartogia, Brunia, Protea, G lobular ia, Leuca- 

 dendron, Hebenstretia, Selago, Cephalanthus, Dipsa- 

 cus, Scabiosa, Knautia and Allionia : y of Valeriana, 

 Morina, Boerhaavia and Circcea, to which Mirabilis 

 is added in manuscript: and £ of Lonicera, Chiococca, 

 Triosteum, Mitchella, Lisianthus in manuscript, Lin- 

 naza, Morinda, Conocarpus, Hillia in manuscript, Lo- 

 ranthus and Viscum. The letter (3 is removed in the 

 manuscript to Cephalanthus ; so that the 1st section ex- 

 tends from Statice to Selago, inclusive ; and is marked 

 " alternifolice inferce" leaves alternate, flowers inferior 

 (or germen superior). The other three sections, from 

 Cephalanthus to Viscum, are marked " oppositifolice 

 superce" leaves opposite, flowers superior. The first 

 section thus extended abounds with errors. Statice and 

 Brunia indeed, thought near akin by Linnaeus, are 

 puzzling genera, about which various opinions maybe 

 formed. Jussieu refers the former to his Plumbagines 

 33, the latter to his doubtful Rhamni 95. Hartogia 

 is the same genus as Diosma, a true Rutacea 81, 

 which Linnaeus subsequently discovered. Protea and 

 Leucadendron form the basis of Jussieu 's and Brown's 

 great Order of Proteaceaz 26, not detected by Lin- 

 naeus, to which Jussieu was inclined to refer Globu- 

 laria ; but he left the latter at the end of his Lysima-
