180 Bombacaceae^^ : Near tlie MalvaceEe. 



181 Sterculiaceae'^: Witliout doubt closely related to tlie Malvaceae in 

 general cliaracters. But in tlie stamens and gynseceum and cocci, tliey are 

 very like tlie Eupliorbiaceee. 



182 Scytopetalaceae^^: Pieere places tliis family near tlie Theacese. 

 Englee refers it to tlie Malvales.

183 Dilleniaceae*-' : Certainly related closely to tlie Tlieacese, but in 

 other respects, this family presents some resemblance to the Ranunculacese and 

 to the Hosaceae. 



184 Eucryphiacese^^: Somewhat comparable with the Rosacese and 

 Saxifragacese. Also near the Guttiferse and Theacefe. 



185 Ochnaceae"-' : A.s the family tj-pe shows the spiro-cyclical arrangement 

 of the floral elements, it certainly admits of comparison with the Eanunculacese 

 (Wett. p. 596). At the same time, it is quite referable to the Parietales. 



186 Caryocaraceae^^: Bentham-Hooker refers this family to the Tern- 

 strcemiacese. 



187 Marcgraviaceae^^: Related to the Theaceae. 



188 duiinaceae^^: Close to the Ochnacege and Theacese, this family in 

 habit and iu the hairy seeds, also bears some resemblance to the Cunoni^ceae. 



189 Theaceae '°'' : Tliese are connected with the ChlaenaceEe through the 

 Asteropeiese, and with the Marcgraviacese through the PelUcierese. At the same 

 time, they are related to the DiUeniaceae on one hand, and to the Guttiferse 

 and Dipterocarpaceae on the other. AIso they admit of comparison with the 

 Metaclilamydese, as some genera such as Anneslea show the gamopetalous 

 coroUa. 



190 Guttiferae"^ : Certainly related to the Theaceae, these come near
