be admitted into it. Xyhpia goes with 

 the greatest propriety to its natural alUes 

 in Vohjundria Poh/gi/niat Annona, &c., 

 its short stamens being inserted into the 

 receptacle below the gernien. Grew! a, 

 as well as Schreber's Microcos if a good 

 genus, belong to Folijandriu Monogi/nia, 

 the organs of impregnation being merely 

 elevated on a common stalk, like those of 

 Passiflora and Ayenia. Ambrosinia, At'twi, 

 and Calla, are all justly removed by Schre- 

 ber to Monoccia, though I think, for rea- 

 sons hereafter given, they are more com- 

 modiously and naturally placed in the Or- 

 der Folyandria of that Class, than in the 

 Order Monandria, Draconthim and Fo- 

 thos, of the same natural family, having 

 perfect or united flov/ers, the former with 

 7 stamens to each, the latter with 4, are 

 undoubtedly to be referred to their corre- 

 sponding Classes, Ileptandria and Tetraii" 

 dria, Zostera, the only remaining genus 

 of Gynandria Fohjandria in Linnaeus, I 

 have long ago ventured to remove to Mo- 

 naiidria Monogynia ; see FiiigL Bof, 

 t, 467.
