is also related to tlie Pimicacefe, Blattiaceae and to the Combretaceae. 



219 SonneratiaceaB ^^ (^Blattiaceae): Near the Lytliracese in morpho- 

 logical and anatomical characters. It is also close to the Pimicacese. 



220 Punicaceae ^ : Closely related to the Lytliracese in the valvate caljrx, 

 in the imbricate wrinkled petals, in the stamens and in the anatomy of the 

 stem. AIso to the Sonneratiacese in the ovary partly connate to the receptacles, 

 and in the 4-winged yoimg stems. 



221 LecytllidaceaB^^ : Intimately connected with the Myrtaceae. But the 

 family comes near the Sonneratiacese throngh Foeiidia (Lecytliid.) on one hand, 

 "while on the other, it is alHed to the Rhizophoracese through Barringtonia 

 (Lecythid.) The latter genus is referred to the Myrtaceae in my general index. 



222 Rhizophoracese *^ : This family is Idn to the Combretaceae and 

 Lythracese. It is related to the former family by the Anisophylloidese (Rhi- 

 zoph.), in the locular ovary and in the stout hypocotyle ; to the latter family 

 by the Macaiisieas (Bhizoph.) with fi'ee ovaries. 



223 Nyssaceae^-' : Kelated to the Combretacese in the one-celled ovary, 

 and in the diplostemonous androeceum. 



224 AlangiaceEe*-' : These approach Polyosma which is referable to 

 the Saxifragaceae, in the general construction of its flowers. 



225 CombretaceaB^^ : Kelated to the Rhizophoracese, Myrtacese and 

 Onagi-acese. 



226 Myrtaceae*': To be mentioned as akin to the Lythracese and Son- 

 neratiacese by the Metrosiderin?e ; and to the Lecythidace?e by the Myrtinse. 



227 Melastomataceae"^ : In habit, iu floral structm:e, and in the anato- 

 my of the stem, tliis family is closely related to the Myrtacese and to the Ly- 

 thrace8e,when especially the genera of the Melastomatacese with pinnati-nerved 

 leaves and reduced appendages of the connectives are considered. In the dis- 

 placement of the placenta, and in the course of development of the ovary, it is
