ceae, especially with the Dryms of the latter family. 



97 AnonaceSB^^ : Relationship with the MagnoHaceae as seen in the floral 

 stnicture and in the presence of the " Olgehalt " is very clear. It some- 

 what agrees with the Ebenaceae in the rimose albumen and in the trimerous 

 flowers (especially with 3Iaba). It is also comparable to some extent with 

 the x^ncistrocladaceee ; and also to the Aiistolocliiacese'^^. 



98 Eupomatiaceae : Closely related to the Anonaceae. 



99 Myristicaceae^^ : This family is certainly comparable with the 

 Anonaceae in its general character. But in the presence of oil-cells in the 

 cortex, mednlla and leaves, and in the connate stamens, it rather approaches 

 the Winteranaceae. 



100 Gomorte2^aceae^' : Related to the Lauracese and Monimiacese. 



101 Monimiaceae''^ : Closely related to the Calycanthaceae and to the 

 Laurace?e. 



102 Lauraceae *^^ : The agreement in the valvate anthers, in the one- 

 celled ovary, in the soHtary hiinging anatropous ovules, in the presence of the 

 oil-cells, of this family and Monimiaceae shows their strong affinity. But re- 

 garding the circular arrangement of their floral elements and the syncarpous 

 g^nifeceum, the Lauracese very closely approach the Thymeleoacege. 



103 Hernandiaceae^^: Certainly this family is closely related to the 

 Lain^aceae in the secretory cells, in the floral structure, in the fi"uit, in the 

 identical charactei-s of the anthers and in the gynaeceum.

104 Papaveraceae ^^ : 3Iost closely related to the Capparidacese, and 

 after that, to the Cruciferse, m the essential structure of flowers and fruit. The 

 Tovariaceae stand half-way between the Capparidacete and the Papaveraceae. 

 The connection of the latter with the Berberidaceae on the other hand is seen 

 in the di- or trimerous flowers and in the seeds of both famiHes. Hallier
