Although it generally happens that the Calyciflore have dichlamydeous 
flowers, polypetalous corollas, and perigynous or epigynous stamens, yet 
many exceptions occur, which should be particularly noted by the student. 
Thus, we find apetalous plants in the Leguminosew, Rosacew, Saxifragacer, 
Cunoniacee, Crassulacex, Hamamelidicex, Haloragacee, Cuallitrichaceex, 
Rhizophoracex, Combretaceex, Samydacex, Loasacew, Datiscaceex, Mesembry- 
anthacex, Araliacee, Garryaceer, Myrtacex, Lythracee, Onagracex, Passi- 
floracee. Monopetalous corollas occur in Papayacew, Cucurbitacee, Bel- 
visiacew, Crassulacew, Droseracew, Bruniacee, Melastomacexw, Turneraceer, 
Cactacew, Lecythidacex, Araliacew. In some Calyciflore, again, the 
stamens are wholly or in part hypogynous or nearly so, as in Connaracex, 
Leguminose, Saxifragacex, Crassulacee, Francoaceex. 
Unisexual flowers always occur as a rule in Callitrichaceaw, Papayaceey, 
Garryacex, and Cucurbitacex, and sometimes in Rosacew, Hydrangeaceex, 
Passifloracee, Ribesiacex, Hulvragacee, Combretacew, Cornacee, Hamameli- 
dacex, and Araliacex, 
Sub-class II. Gamopetalx or Corolliflore. 
Series 1. Inferze or Epigyne. 
Cohort 1. Ruliales.—Stamens epipetalous and alternate with 
the lobes of the corolla. Ovary 1- or more celled, but 
usually 2-celled ; cells of the ovary 1—many-ovuled. Seeds 
albuminous. Leaves generally opposite. 
The orders placed in this series of the Corolliflore were 
included by De Candolle in the Calyciflorz ; the Corolliflorze 
being restricted by him to those monopetalous orders in which 
the ovary was superior, and which are placed in our arrange- 
ment in the two series Super and Dicarpiz. But the simplest 
arrangement for the student is to consider the Monopetalous 
Corolla as the essential mark of the Gamopetailz or Corollifloree, 
and in accordance with this view we have this series of the 
Gamopetale, called Inferze or Epigyne. It should be noticed, 
however, that some monopetalous plants occur in certain orders 
of the Polypetale, as indicated in our artificial analyses of the 
three series of that sub-class. 
Order 1. CapriFoLIaAce®, the Honeysuckle Order.—Cha- 
racter.—Small trees, shrubs, or rarely herbs. Leaves opposite 
(fig. 285), usually exstipulate. Calyx superior (fig. 973), 4—5- 
cleft. Corolla monopetalous (jig. 974), 4—5-cleft, tubular or 
rotate, regular (fig. 974) or irregular, rarely polypetalous. 
Stamens (fig. 974) 4—5, inserted on the corolla, and alternate
