insists tliat tlie relationship of the Papaveracese and the Ranimculacese is 

 shown by a oomparison of Corydalis with Leptopyrum, and Plcdydemo^i with 

 Ranmcmlm^^. 



105 Gapparidaceae ^^ : Closely related to the Cruciferse. 



106 Kceberliniaceae^^ : Engler formerly placed this family in the 

 Parietales, bnt later on he brought it to the Khoeadales and united it with the 

 Capparidacese. I put it here for the sake of convenience, next to the Cappari- 

 dacese. Zuccaeini and Endlicher refer it to the Pittosporacese on accoimt of 

 its many-seeded placentas. Asa Gray and Bentham-Hooker ascribe it to the 

 Kutaceae of the Geraniales; Englee, however, does not regarded this family 

 as referable to the same series. The KceberHniacese are comparable with the 

 Saxifragaceae or with the Parietales, in the placeuta with numerous jxjIj- 

 sariate ovules. They are near the Bixacese in their deciduous sepals. The 

 existence of some connections between the flowers of this family and those of 

 the Khceadales is almost undeniable. 



107 Cruciferae*'' : In floral structure, this family is directly related to 

 the Papaveracese, and after that, to the Capparidacese. 



108 TovariaceaB ^-^ : Somewhatnear the Phytolaccacese (Benth.-Hookeii). 

 But, on the other hand, the family stands between the Papaveracese and the 

 Capparidaceae (Eichler). It approaches the Capparidacese in the stmcture 

 of its seeds and in its habit. 



109 Resedaceae ^ : Near the Craciferae and the Capparidaceae. With 

 the latter, the family agrees in the parietal placenta, in the gynophore and in 

 the zygomorphous flowers. 



110 Moringaceae'^^ : Dalzell compares this family with the Bignoniaceae, 

 while it is brought near the Violacere by IjINDLEY and Hooker. Geisebach 

 and Baillon bring it into comparison with some of the Bhceadineae, especially 

 with the Capparidacese ; but Endlicher, Decaisne and Bentham place it 

 beside the Leguminosae or even assign it to the latter family. Other botanists
