nala and Verticillata. The order is very natural, and 

 Jussieu's criticism upon it excellent. 



To these Linnaeus has no analogous 



43. Convolvuli. 1 order, most of the genera in the two 



44. Po/emonia. < first being referred to his Cainpana- 



45. Bignonue, cea, order 29, and of the last to Per- 



[_sonatce. 

 In this instance we cannot but admit the superiority of 

 Jussieu's arrangement. 



46. Gentiana — a very natural and distinct order, con- 

 founded by Linnaeus with his Rotacecc, ord. 20, to which 

 it has but little relationship. 



47. Apocinea — precisely the Linnaean Contortce, ord. 

 30, a most distinct and curious tribe, though both the 

 great authors, of whom we are treating, have been mis- 

 taken in referring hither a genus or two, which do not at 

 all belong to it. See our remarks on this 30th order of 

 Linnaeus. 



48. Sapotce — an order of which Linnaeus had no per- 

 ception. Some of its genera find a place among his Du- 

 mosa, ord. 43, an assemblage which, he ingenuously 

 confesses, did not satisfy himself. 



Class 9. 



49. Guaiacana. Of this also Linnaeus had no distinct 

 ideas. Some of the genera he places with his Bicomes, 

 ord. 18. Yet some pupils of Jussieu have refined upon 

 this and the last, and he himself has founded an order of 

 Ebenacea, upon the first section of his Guaiacana; — see 

 Brown's Prodromus, 524. 



50. Rhododendra. 



5 1 . Erica. 



These two collectively answer to the Bicomes, ord. 18, 

 of Linnaeus, an error or two, on either part, excepted. 



52. Campanulacea, nearly correspond with the genuine 

 Campanacea, ord. 29, of Linnaeus, from whence, as we 

 have before hinted, Convolvulus and its allies are well se- 

 parated in the system of Jussieu.
