* This is perhaps the most unnatural of all Jussieu's orders ; and it will 

 certainly be eventually much altered. Mr. Brown has already proposed 

 Lonicerece, containing Lonicera, Linnara, &c., as a separate order ; an ar- 

 rangement which would gladly have been adopted here, hud any characters 

 teen published.
