covering of tlie seeds ; iu the flat cotyledons imbedded iu the albumen ; iu tbe 

 pahnate nerves of the leaves ; in the basal oonnation of the stamens ; in the 

 pored anthers ; aud iu the abseuce of septa in the substitute fibres. 



198 Cochlospermaceae'^ : Near theBixaceae. Van Tieghem refers this 

 faraily to the Malvales. 



199 Winteranaceae ^' : So far as the presence of oil cells in the cortex, 

 medulla aud leaves, the bordered pits iu the wood-proseuchyma, the geueral 

 structure of the xylem and the incoustant number and spiral arraugement of the 

 jjerianth-segments are concemed, this family comes very close to the Magno- 

 Hacefe. But wheu \ve take iuto consideration the presence of oil-cells placed 

 as above mentioued aud the couuation of the stameus, it should be broughfc 

 uear the MpisticaceEe. lu other geueral characters, however, it is rather re- 

 lated to the Violaceee aud riacourtiacese. 



200 Violaceae ^^ • Near the Flacourtiacese aud Cistacese. 



201 Flacourtiacese^^ : Closely related to the Violaceae, Turueracese, 

 Bixaceae, Tiliacese aud Passifloracese. The family also comes uear the 

 Stachyuracese, Cistaceae, Theacese aud Elseocarpaceae. lu some respects, the 

 family is a trausitional form between the Datiscaceae and the Caricaceae. 

 Fmiher, it is comparable with the Capparidaceae. 



202 Stachyuracese^^ : This family is clearly related to the DiUeniaceae 

 aud to the Theacese. Baillon poiuts oiit its relatiou to the Clethraceae and to 

 the Bixaceae. 



203 Turneracese''' : Near the Passifloracese aud Malesherbiaceee. 



204 Malesherbiaceae^^: Close to the Passifloracese aud Tiu-neraceae. 



205 Passifloraceae^^" lutimately allied to the Malesherbiacese, and Tur- 

 ueracese in general respects. But iu the receptacles aud their effigurations and 

 in the often stalked ovaries, the family is comparable with the Thymelseacese. 

 lu some other respects, it is rather close to the Cuciu-bitacese. 



206 Achariaceae^^: In the superior ovaries, iu the parietal placentas
