cate. The first constitute a single tribe ; the last divide into 



three, distinguished by less momentous peculiarities of structure. 



Having premised so far, the following table will be intelligible :

Having thus given, at one view, a tabular explanation of the 

 sub-orders and their divisions and sub-divisions of this immense 

 order, I think it will be loss of time and waste of paper to add a 

 list of the generic names, which will appear at the description of 

 each genus. 



Div. 1, C urvembriac. Sub-order 1, Papilionacetc. Sub-div. I, 

 I'hvlloloke. Tribe 1, Sophorre. Genera 1, Anagyris, or Bean 

 Trefoil. Class 10, order 1, species 3. Le hois puant, Fr. ; Der 

 stinkbaum, Cer. Small shrubs of not very hardy growth, and 

 very often killed back in severe winters. It is therefore best to 

 protect them by means of hoops and mats, or in cold frames, where 

 liny will survive. Increased by layers, seeds, or cuttings ol 

 VODng wood. Anagyris, so named by TOURNEFORT, from Ana, 

 backward — gyros, a circle; alluding to the pods being curved 

 inwards. 



Genera 2. Aotus. Class 10, order I, species 3. Small ever* 



■ ;i shrubs with yellow (lowers, from New Holland, and thrives 

 \« -t iu an equal mixture of loam and peat. Increased by young 

 cuttings planted in sand under a bell glass, and seeds when pro-
