159 Corynocarpaceae '^ : Refen-ed to tlie Berberidaceae by JussiEU and 

 Sprengel, wliile assigned to the Anacardiacese by Hookee. At tlie same time, 

 the family is compared with the Myrsinacese by some aiithors. Engl"er 

 maintains that it should be referred to the Sapiudales, -while Van Tieghem 

 places it near the Geraniacese. 



160 Aquifoliaceae"^ : Near the Icacinacefe. Also related to the Celas- 

 tracere in the ' leiterformige Dm:chbrechtmgen.' In liabit, the family is so 

 rery near the Symplocacese, that it is altogether impossible to distinguish one 

 fi'om the other in sterile specimens. This resemblance is not only extemally 

 manifest bnt also intemally, as is seen in the anatomical characters''^ 



161 Celastraceae *'' : Closely connected -with the Hippocrateacese, Sapin- 

 daceae, Staphyleaceae, Icacinacese, Aquifohaceae and Rhamnacese, the family also 

 bears some resemblance to the Euphorbiacese, as can be seen in a compari- 

 son of Elceodendrm (Cehistr.) with the Phyllantheae (Euphorb.) 



162 Hippocrateaceae''^: The relation of tliis family to others is as 

 jet undetermined. Somewhat related to the Celastracese and Trigoniacese. 



163 Salvadoraceae*'-' : The general affinity of this family with the 

 Celasatraceae is incontestable. But, so far as the gamophyllous coroUa is con- 

 cerned, it should be brought quite close to the Oleacese. 



164 Staekhousiaceae ^^ : Closely related to the Celastraceae. 



165 Staphyleaceae ^^ : These are closely related to the Sapindacese in 

 the copious albumen, in the intrastaminal discus, in the straight embryo, and 

 in the anatomical characters. De Candolle and Endlicher place the Sta- 

 phyleacese near the Celastraceae. 



166 Icacinaceae^^ : Very near the AquifoHaceae ; but so far as the fruit 

 is concemed, they are quite close to the 01acace?e. 



167 Aceraceae'"^: Nearest the Sapindacese and Hippoeastanacese.
