10. Gynandria is scarcely tenable, being pa- 

 radoxical in its character, and the two 

 Linnaean genera which compose it, An- 

 drachne and A gyneia, seem most properly, 

 even as the system stands at present, to 

 belong to the 8th Order, to great part of 

 which they are, moreover, naturally re- 

 lated. 



Class 22. Dioeeia. Stamens and Pistils in 

 separate flowers, situated on two separate 

 plants. Orders 8. 



The foregoing remarks on the Orders of 

 Monoecia apply also to those of this Class. 

 I shall therefore only briefly mention some 

 genera properly illustrative of each Order, 

 more particularly specifying such as re- 

 quire to be placed elsewhere. 



1. Monandricu Brosimum of Swartz, an-! 

 Ascarlna of Forster, seem, by their de- 

 scriptions, to be well placed here. Panda- 

 mis {Athrodactylis of Forster) is more 

 doubtful, not having any partial calyx or 

 corolla to divide the stamens, into separate 

 blossoms, so that the -uhole may be taken
