He objects to DeCandolle's suborders, constructed on the form of the albumen, because the 

 term Campy tosperme does not apply to all the plants that he DC. places here, as one genus

 Many other instances of a similar sort are brought forward to show that divisions t^rounded on 

 such minute differences of structure are artiacial and fallacious, an opinion in which ft seems next 

 to impossible not to coincide, even though we may feel unable to propose better That 

 Jausch s IS better as a whole, I am unable to say, but as it is grounded on characters which can 

 ten be made out long before the albumen has attained the degree of maturity required bv the 

 other system, It seems more applicable to practice, that of itself making it a more advanta/eous 

 arrangement m so difficult an order as this, it too often happening that we are obliged to work 

 with specimens gathered long before their seed are ripe. He further discards all tribal charac 



ters taken from the inflorescence, whether the umbels are complete or incomplete, simple or com-
