This was an attempt, in imitation of Agardh and Bartling, to reduce the Natural 

 Orders into groups subordinate to the higher divisions. Such groups w< 

 \ i i, ; i i. The author threw aside the distinctions between perigyi 



ti\ pog nous insi rtiun as uncertain and leading to bad grouping ; insisted upon the value 

 of albumen as a primary character, and objected to the g< oeral principle that th< 

 turns of plant- are to furnish their character, and not a character the section. Finally, 

 be maintain d thai no sections are capable of being positively defim d, i kc< pt such as 

 depend upon physiological peculiarities; and that all other collections
