206 COMPARISON OF THE NATURAL ORDERS 



chice, where surely it is much misplaced. Hebenstre- 

 tia and Selago are related to Verbena, seeVitices3S. 



With respect to the opposite-leaved sections, j3, y 

 ande); Cephalanthits, Chiococca, Mitchella, Morinda 

 and Hillia are well considered by Jussieu as Rubia- 

 cece 57. From Dipsacus to Molina, inclusive, are 

 his Dipsacece 56. Boerhaavia and Mirabilis are 

 Nyctagines 32. Circcea is one of the Onagrce 88. 

 Lo?iicera, Triosteum, Linncea, Loranthus and Viscum 

 are Caprifolia 58. Lisianthus belongs undoubtedly 

 to the Gentiance 46. 



From the above detail it appears, that there can 

 hardly be a greater discordance of opinion than ex- 

 ists between Linnaaus and Jussieu, concerning the 

 plants of this Order ; nor can the latter be denied the 

 honour of having best, if not perfectly, understood 

 their affinities. 



49. Composite, Sect, a — Cinarocephalce 54. 



. sect, |8 — Cichor acecE 53. 



sect, y, £ — CorymbifercE 55. 



50. Amentaceje — Amentacece 99, with an excep- 

 tion or two, such as Sloa?iea, marked with a doubt by 

 Linnaeus, and referred by Jussieu to his Tiliacece 79 ; 

 and Pistacia, one of the Terebintacece 94. Cynomo- 

 rium is placed by Jussieu, with Balanophora of For- 

 ster, t. 50, among the plantce incertce sedis. 



51. Conifers — Coniferce 100, except Equisetum, 

 one of the Filices 5. 



52. Coadunat^e — Anonce 76, and Magnolia 15.
