Saries XLIV. rUinibaginales 



244 Plumbaginaceae ^^ •' Near tlie Primulacepe aud MjTsinaceoe as can 

 be seen in the diagram of flowers, in the one-celled ovary consisting of 5- 

 carpels with a basal placenta and in the double-coated ovules. Many place 

 this family near the Polygonaceae. 



Series XLV. Ebenales 



245 Sapotaceae ^ • Comparable with the Myi-sinaca^e and the Ebena- 

 ceae ; also with the Styi*acacere in the floral structiu*e. 



246 EbenaceaB^^.' Closely allied to the Styracacese, Symplocaceae and 

 Sapotaceae. Also compai*able with the Anonaceae in the rimose albumen of 

 the seeds and in the trimerous flowers. The family approach«s the Guttiferee 

 in the fruit. 



247 Sympiocaceae *^ •* C^rtainly related to the Styracacese, Ebenaceae 

 and Sapotacefe in general cliaracters, but in some respects, the family is con- 

 nected with the, Ancistrocladaceae. In external and anatomical features, it is 

 very near the AquifoHacese. 



248 Styracacese^^ : Closely related to the Symplocaceae, Sapotacese 

 and Ebenacese. 



Series XliVI. ContoHw 



249 Oleaceae '^^ •* Uudoubtedly allied to the Loganiaceae and the Kubia- 

 ceae ; but in other characters, comparable with ths Celastraceae and Salvado- 

 racese. 



250 Loganiaceae'-' : Tliis is a very heterogeneous family, the genera of 

 which are related respectively to the Asclepiadacese, Apocynacese, Gentianacese, 

 Solanaceae, Ilubiaceae, and Scrophulariacese. Baillon holds the view that the 

 family should be disorganized and its genera should be refen-ed respectively 

 to the diiferent famiUes above mentioned.
