compositous oues. Tlie presence of inulin is not without significance iu 

 explaining the kinsliip of the two families. TI13 Cichorioideae, a subfamily of 

 the Compositse, has articulated laticiferous vessels Uke those of the Campanu- 

 laceae. As to the relation between the Campanulaceae and the Cucurbitaceee, 

 there are many points worthy of mention. The typical epigynous pentamerous 

 flowers, the frequent occurrence of the gamophyllous corolla, the tendency of 

 the stamens to grow together and the calyx with narrow leaf-hke lobes, and 

 finally the haplostemonous androeceum, all su^est the close afl&nity of the two 

 famihes. 



282 Goodeniaceae '^ : Very near the Campanulacese. Moreover, it re- 

 sembles the Gentianacese, as is seen in a comparison of Velleia (Gooden.) 

 with Limnanihemura (Gent.) 



283 Brunoniaceae '^ : Near the Groodeniacese and Plumbaginacese. 



284 Stylidiaceae^^ ( = Candolleaceae) : Related to the Campanulacese. It 

 is somewliat related to the Cucurbitaceae in the staminal column with extrorse 

 anthers''^ 



285 Calyceraceae^' : Near the CompDsitse. 



236 Compositae''^: Related to the Campanulaceae.
