TABLE OF GENERA AND SPECIES. 



The Number of the GENERA and SPECIES of PLANTS of the *Phanogamous Kinds, in the following TABLE, are 

 taken from C. H. Persoon's Edition of Linneus, published at Paris in 1805 and 1807. In his Classification of Plants, he 

 has differed in some respects from Linneus; especially in his retrenchment of the Classes Polyadelphia and Polygamia, (the 

 plants of which, he has distributed in what he conceives to be their mere proper places in the remaining twenty-one Classes,) 

 and his cutting off the order Monogamia, from the Linnean class Syngenesia. The number of Genera and Species of 

 -rCrvptoffamo'us plants, is taken from Turton's Edition of Linneus, Vol. VI. printed at Swansea, in 1803.

t^t These Orders are named from the Pistillum, or female part of a plant, which is usually reckoned from the base of the Style, if there be any ; if that be 

 wanting, it ii fixed from the fitiymata. Monogynia therefore means one wife, female, or style ; Digynia, two; Trigynia, three ; Tetragynia, four ; Prnlayynia, 

 five ; Hexagynia, six ; Decagynia, ten ; Polygynia, many. 



* Phanogammu, from ipaivu to appear, and ya/ios marriage: Plants in which the parts of fructificatiim are visible and distinct. 

 t Cryptogamous, from rpuirrufoWr, and ya/aof a marriage: Plants in which the parts of fructification are either totally concealed, or imperfectly visible. 

 ** Dr. Edward Smith, President of the Linnean Society, has removed the plants of the Monogamia order of class Syngenesia into their proper place 

 in the class Pentandria, because the flowers of its different genera are not composite, or compounded.
