The mere repetition of the names of these families 

 would not instruct the student much if some key was 

 not given to them. Of the twenty-two families, four 

 include a considerable number of genera. These are 



a. The Eanunculus family, which is distinguished 

 by the flowers having many stamens free from the 

 calyx, and several carpels separated into distinct 

 pistils. The family is nearly the same as the Linnsean 

 class 13, Polyandria, orders ^olygynia and Pentagynia.
