Explanation of the TITLE of the ORDERG. 
HE Titles of the Orders have been 
given in Chap. 1. It remains to ex~ 
plain them. 
Crass I. to XIII. inclufive-—The Or- 
ders of the firft thirteen Claffes take their 
Denominations from the Number of the 
Pifillum, or Female Part of the Plant, which 
is ufually reckoned from the Baf of the 
Style, if there be any; but if the Style be 
wanting, the Number is fixt from the Stig- 
mata. The Greek Word, compounded with 
the numerical Terms in the Titles of thefg 
Orders, fignifies a Wife: Monogynia implies 
one Wife or one Style ; Digynia, two Styles ; 
Trigynia, three; Te etragynia, four ; Penta-~ 
gynia, five ; Hexagynia, fix 3 Decagynia, 
ten; and Polygynia, many. Thefe are the 
Titles that occur in the Orders of thefe thir- 
teen Claffes ; and this general Explanation 
of them will be thought fufficient, as from 
the Table given in the firft Chapter it ap- 
pears how they are employed in the Clafles.
