i;laucium, argemone, sanguinaria, and podnphyllum, to the order 

 rha-adeec. Herb-christopher, pjeony, larkspur, wolFs-bane, bog- 

 wort, fennel-flower, columbine, meadow-rue, virgin's-bower, atra- 

 gene, hellebore, marsh-marygold, adonis or pheasant's-eye, ranun- 

 culus and others,are of the order multisiliquce. Magnolia,;tulip-tree, 

 michelia, uvaria, and annona or custard apple, are the principal 

 genera in the natural order coadunattc. The class polyandria, is 

 particularly noted for its poisonous productions, a character very 

 dint-rent to the last class. 



81 . This class of plants may be distinguished from 

 those of the eleventh dodecandria, by the superior number 

 of stamens ; and from those of the twelfth, icosandria, 

 by the difference in their insertion. 



if there are form twelve to nineteen stamens, and these inserted 

 into the receptacle, the plant must belong to the class dodecandria. 

 But if there are more than nineteen, and still attached to the recep- 

 tacle, it is then to be found in the present cla.s polyandria. If, in- 

 stead of the stamens being inserted into the receptacle, they should 

 be attached to the calyx or corolla, yon must be certain the plant 

 is of the class icosandria. 



82. Division : The orders of the polyandrous class 

 are seven ; viz. monogynia, digynia, trigynia, tetragynia, 

 pentagynia, hexagynia, and polygynia, all established 

 from the number of pistils in each flower. 



83. Monogynia : Including such plants of this 

 arrangement, as produce flowers with one pistil only. 



Among the plants of this order, the most known are the poppy, 

 the celandine, horned poppy, common lime-tree, cistns or rock-rose, 

 tea, and the tribe of nymphoea or water-lily. 



81. Digynia: Including such plants of the class, as 

 produce flowers with ttco pistils.
