 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- 

 shaped ; those with an irregular one either 

 anomalous or labiate. 



Herbs with a simple, polypetalous, regular 

 corolla are either cruciform, rosaceous, um- 

 bellate, pink-like or liliaceous ; those with an 

 irregular one, papilionaceous or anomalous. 

 The subdivisions of the classes are founded 

 on the fruit. 



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 Ame-
