PHIA. The Orders of thefe three Clafles 
are founded on the Number of the Stamina

Crass XIX. SYNGE NESIA.—To 
underftand the orders of this Clafs, we muft 
_ explain what is meant by Polygamy in Flow-

mous Piants, and flrewn that the Term 
Polygamous, as there applied, alluded to the 
{ntercommunication of the male or female 
Flowers with the Hermaphrodite ones, ei-

in refpe&t to Flowers, the Term is applied 
to a fingle Flower only ; for the Flowers of 
this Clafs being Compound, a Polygamy » 
arifes from the Intercommunication of the 
feveral Florets in one and the fame Flower. 
Now the Po/ygamy of Flowers, in this Senfe 
of the Word, affords four Cafes, which are 
the Foundations of the four firft Orders of 
this Clafs. 1ft. Order, Polygamia equalis,

Hermaphrodite. 24, Order, Polygamia fuper-
