five groups Chry8obalanace<]e,^ BrupacecB^^ Pomacecs,^ Sanffuisorbacea* 

 and Rosacea proper, distinct orders of his alliance Bosales, in the 

 same category with Lec/uviinosa {Fahacece) and Calycanthacece. 



In ^hi^Rosacece, as understood by A. P. de Candolle, were sixty-nine 

 genera admitted before his time or by him, which are, in our enume- 

 ration, reduced to sixty-five. Of these sixteen were Linnean genera, 

 namely, Rosa, Agrimonia, Alchemilla, Sangidsorha, Cliffortia, Fragaria, 

 Potentilla, Rubus, Geum, Brgas, Sjpircea, Pgrus, Cratagus, Prunm, 

 Chrgsobalanus, and Hirtella. He retained Cydonia of Tournefort ;^ 

 Atjblet's® four genera, Couepia, Acioa, Parinari, and Licania ; 

 Polglepis, Marggricarpiis, Kageneckia, and Smegmadermos' of Euiz & 

 Pavon ; Grangeria of Commerson,^ Accena of Vahl,^ Lindleya, Cerco- 

 carpiis and Brayera of Kunth,^" Gillenia of Mcench," and Neillia of 

 DoN.'^ De Candolle had himself established" the two new genera 

 Purshia and Kerria, and adopted those which Lindley had just 

 proposed" in his group Pomacece, namely, Raphiolepis, Chamameles, 

 Eriobotrya, Osteomeles and Amelanchier.^'" Stylobasium, established by 

 Deseontaines in 1819, was still referred to TereUnthacece. The 

 genus Eucryphia of CAVANiLiiEs'* was placed with Hypericinece or 

 ChlenacecB ; nor was Pygeum of Gt^rtner"' yet considered one of Ro- 

 sacem ; while Lecodemoii of Mocinno & Sesse'^ was only considered 

 a doubtful member of the order. In fine, the number of the genera 

 then known, now admitted by us in this order, reached forty-three. 



The other twenty-one genera are of contemporary or nearly con- 

 temporary origin. The greatest number are due to the English
