 Auct. being dedicated to the same family of bo- 

 tanists ! wrongly united to Loasacea by DC. and 

 by Hooker to Papaveracea; I have ascertained 

 on the living plant, that it belongs to my nat. fa- 

 mily Glinidia of 1815 near to Glinus and Por- 

 tulaca, all the Papaveracea with several styles 

 belong there also ; but it is the type of a sub 

 family Omonoidea by calix and capsule. Such 

 diversity happens in Hypericea and Portulacea, 

 both very near families of same order PQLY-
