silso closely related to tlie Crmomacefe iu tlie verticillate stipulate leaves, and 

 in the presence of the iuner and outer layers of the pericarps. 



121 Cunoniaceae^^ •• Tliese come close to tlie Saxifragaceae. But, the 

 regular two-seriate seeds on tlie placenta and the tendency of the carpels to 

 grow together, bring the Cimoniaceae near the Crassulaceae. 



122 MyrothamnaceaB"^ : This family is closely allied to the Cunoniaceae 

 in habit, in the opposite stipulate leaves, in the long, erect dense terminal flower- 

 ed spike, in the bracts and bracteoles, in the frait, and in the staminodes. 



123 Bruniaceae^^ : These approach very close to the Saxifragacese in 

 anatomy, in flowers, and in fiiuts. They are near the Cunoniaceae in their 

 capitate flowei-s, and are also related to the HamameHdacese in fruits. 



124 Hamamelidaceae"-' : Cei-tainly closely related to the Saxifragaceae 

 and Cunoniace£e ; but, in the anatomy of the wood, the family agrees ^vith 

 the Cunoniaceae and Bruniaceae. 



125 EucommiaceaB'^^ : Near Trochodendracese and HamameKdaceae. 



126 Platanaceae "^^ : Related to some extent to the HamameKdace£e in 

 the'form of the styles and stigmata. The family is also connected with the 

 Kosaceae in the structure of the stem, in the presence of phloroghicin, in the 

 perig^Tious flowers witli perfect apocarpous gynseceum, and especially to the 

 Spineese of the latter family in the receptacle, in the carpels, and in the leaves. 



127 Crossosomataceae^^ : Near the Rosaceae. 



128 Rosaceae ^^ : In floral structure this family bears some resemblance 

 toithe Calycanthaceae and Ranunculacese ; also to the Combretaceae, Myrtacese, 

 Tliymelffiacese, Leguminosae, and to the Saxifragacese. 



129 Connaraceae^^ : Intimately alUed to the Leguminosse, and also re- 

 lated to some extent to the Anacaixliacese. 



130 LeguminosaB^*^- : Beai-s some affinity to the Rosaceae, and to the 

 Connaraceae ; also to the ilanunciflace?e.^^^
