 distributed into such as have one or many 

 petals, and those regular or irregular. — Herbs 

 with a Corolla have that part either com- 

 pound (as the Dandelion, Thistle and Daisy), 

 or simple ; the latter being either of one or

 Herbs with a simple, monopetalous, regular 

 corolla are either bell-shaped or funnel-

It is easy to perceive that a system of this 

 kind can never provide for all the forms of 

 corolla which may be discovered after its 

 first contrivance ; and therefore the celebrated 

 Dr. Garden, who studied by it, assured me 

 that when he attempted to reduce the Arne-
