phrodite Flowers, take their Denomina- 
tions from the Number of Stamina, or male 
Parts of the Flower. The Word here com- 
pounded with the numerical Terms, figni- 
fies 2 Hufband ; fo that the Title Monandria 
expreiles, that the Flowers of this Clafs have 
but ove Hufband, that is, one Stamen; D/i- 
andria, two Stamina ; Triandria, three; Te- 
trandria, four ; Pentandria, five ; Hexandria, 
Jix ; Heptandria, feven; Oétandria, eight; 
Enneandria, nine; and Decandria, ten. It 
mutt be obferved however, that the Flowers 
being Hermaphrodite, as above mentioned, 
is in all thefe Claffes a neceflary Condition; 
for fhould the female Part be wanting, the 
Plant would belong to fome other Clafs, not- 
withftanding the Number of Stamina may 
be fuch as would otherwife refer it to one 
of thefe: And this Caution we give once 
for all to avoid Repetitions, that when we 
ufethe Term Hermaphrodite, we mean that 
it is a Condition not to be difpenfed with.
