The formation of the genitive and plural should as a rule give no trouble 

 but the following nouns have somewhat irregular genitives. Adeps, 

 Adipis, Mel, Mellis; Fel, Fellis; Mas, Maris; Rhizoma, Theobroma, Physos- 

 tigma, enema, gargarisima, make the genitive in -atis; Aloe, Aloes; Can- 

 tharis, Cantharidis; Rhoeas, Rhoeados; Colocynthis, Colocynthidis; Flos. 

 Floris; Digitialis, Hydrastis, Sinapis do not change in the genitive; Jabor- 

 andi, Kino, Catechu, Buchu, Kousso, Peru, Tolu, and most names ending 

 in "1" are indeclinable. Spiritus, Fructus, Cornus, haustus are nouns of 

 the fourth declension with genitives in -as. 



The gender of Latin substantives may usually be judged by their term- 

 ination, substantitives in -us and -or being usually masculine (exceptions 

 names of plants in -us, Prunus Virginiana), those in -a are feminine; those 

 in -um and -on and indeclinable nouns neuter.
