 some eminent Botanists propose uniting them as parts of one order, distinguished rather by 

 hal.it than characters, the one, Primalaceas, being herbaceous while Mysineacece are shrubby 

 and arboreous. Were habit to be altogether rejected as an element in the construction of 

 orders, this would be right,^ but, following the present fashion in Botany, I am inclined, with 

 l.mdley, to view this as being as distinct an order as many now generally admitted without 

 question. It IS quite true that in other orders we find similar anomalies in respect to habit which 

 are overlooked in them but, as these are for the most part confined to single genera, they do 



ba eous and peculiarly extratropical in its habits, the other arboreous and woody and i an
