2 JUNIPERACEAE. 



mature ovulate cones elliptic, tomentose with ferruginous, partially deciduous, 

 hairs, the seed-bearing scales thin. 



Moist hammocks and sand-dunes m. pen. Pla., especially on the e. coast. (W. I.) 



Order FINALES. 



Shrubs or trees. Leaves scale-like or narrow, or needle-like and often 

 borne in bundles. Flowers mainly monoecious, the cones of spirally imbri- 

 cate bracts, or in Taxaceae the ovulate flowers often solitary. Seeds borne 

 in cones of dry or fleshy scales, or wholly or partially naked. 



FAMILY 1. JUNIPERACEAE. JUNIPER FAMILY. 



Mostly evergreen often slightly resiniferous shrubs or trees, with 

 fibrous, shreddy bark, the buds naked. Leaves mainly appressed scales or 

 sometimes subulate and spreading. Ovulate aments with bractless scales. 

 Ovules erect. Fruit a cone of dry often peltate, scales, or baccate or 

 drupaceous. Seed wingless, or winged, the wing a portion of the testa. 



1. SABINA Haller. Shrubs or trees. Leaves scale-like, except on young 

 plants, and sometimes on twigs, appressed, often imbricate, each with a gland 

 in the back. Staminate aments terminal on branchlets. Ovulate aments with 

 ovules opposite the scales. Cones baccate. Seeds wingless. CEDAR. SAVIN. 



1. S. barbadensis (L.) Small. A shrub or small tree: scale-like leaves short 

 and rather thick, the relatively blunt apex closely appressed: staminate aments 

 4-5 mm. long: cones ovoid or oval-ovoid, 3-4 mm. long. BARBADOS-CEDAR. 

 SOUTHERN RED-CEDAR. 



Low sandy places, near the coast. Absent from the F. Keys. (Cont., W. I.) Spr. 



CLASS II. ANGIOSPERMAE. 



Carpel or pistil a closed cavity formed by the uniting of the 

 margins of a rudimentary leaf, or sometimes of several leaves. 

 Within the cavity thus formed the ovules are borne and the seeds 

 mature. 



Cotyledon 1 : stem endogenous : leaf-blades with the primary or lateral veins parallel. 



Subclass 1. MOXOCOTYLEDONES. 

 Cotyledons typically 2 : stem exogenous : leaf-blades 



with the veins netted. Subclass 2. DICOTYLEDONES. 



SUBCLASS 1. MONOCOTYLEDONES. 



Stems endogenous, with no distinction into bark, wood, and 

 pith, consisting of a ground-mass of soft tissue (parenchyma) in 

 which strands or bundles of wood-cells are irregularly distributed. 

 Leaves mostly alternate, sheathing at the base: blades usually 

 parallel-nerved, entire or essentially so, rarely separating by a 

 manifest articulation. Perianth and essential parts of the flower 

 usually in threes or sixes. Embryo with a single cotyledon, the 

 early leaves always alternate. 



Order POALES. 



Mostly perennial caulescent or acaulescent plants, known as grasses and 

 sedges. Stems sometimes conspicuously jointed. Leaves alternate, mostly
