POLYGAMIA. 483 



often united flowers, are best in the 10th 

 Class, as Euclea in the 11th. I find no 

 genera truly icosandrous here, though 

 Schreber esteems Flacourtia and Hcdy- 

 carya to be so. 



8. Monadelphia* Taxus, i. 746; and per- 

 haps Juniperus, t. 1100, also the exotic 

 i Ephedra, are legitimate examples of this 

 Order. Spurious ones are Nepenthes, 

 Myristica the Nutmeg, and Schreber's 

 Xanthe, all placed by him in the now 

 abolished Order Syngenesia, and which 

 can only take shelter here while the Class 

 remains as it is, for they have no differ- 

 ence of structure in the accessory parts of 

 their flowers. 



Class 23. Polygamia* Stamens and Pistils 

 separate in some flowers, united in others, 

 either on the same plant or on two or three 

 distinct ones; such difference in the es- 

 sential organs being moreover accompanied 

 with a diversity in the accessory parts of 

 the flowers. Orders 3.
