THE NATURAL SYSTEM. 121 



The Endogenous Petaliferse are divided into two cohorts, mz. : 



5. The SjyadicijlorcBj having the flowers on a spadix, as in 

 the Egyptian Calla and Jack-in-the-pulpit. 



6. The Floridice^ having the flowers separate, not on a 

 spadix, as in Tuhp, Gladiohis. 



7. The Class Ghimiferse constitutes the seventh cohort, 

 under the name Graminoids^ i. e., the Grass-like plants. 



Six other cohorts are formed from the flowerless plants, 

 but we cannot notice them in this work. 



259. Lastly, the cohorts are themselves divided into, or 

 composed of, the Natural Orders, which we defined in Les- 

 son XXX.
