Order IIUTACE.E. 



F/oirers regular, usually hermaphrodite. Calgx various, gamoscpalous, or the 

 sepals free. Petals as many as sepals, or twice as many, or rarely more, fi-ee or rarely 

 cohering, imbricate or valvate. Stamens definite or rarely numerous. Anthers usually 

 versatile, the cells opening lengthwise. Torus inside the stamens, usually more or less 

 thickened into a disk. Trees or shrubs, very rarely herbs, all herbaceous parts pellucid- 

 gland-dotted. Stipules none. Leaves opposite or alternate, simple or compressed. 



Many members of this Order possess aromatic, pungent, and therapeutic properties. 

 The bark of some species of Toddalia is used as a febrifuge. The limes and citrons 

 abound in a volatile fi-agrant oil and salts of potash, rendering them of great thera- 

 peutic value in many diseases. The Bael is esteemed for sherbet, and several species 

 yield good wood.
