Of the APPENDIX. 
ESIDES the twenty-four Claffes ex- 
plained in the preceding Chapters, 
Linneus has in his Genera Plantarum, given 
an Appendix, which in the Ordo Generum 
prefixed to that work, he calls the twenty- 
fifth Clafs*. It contains only one Order, 
viz. 
PALM2Z, comprehending fuch Plants 
as have a Spadix and Spatha. This 
Order contains nine Genera, viz. Cha- 
marops, Boraffus, Corypha, Cocos, Phanix, 
Elais, Areca, Elate, and Caryota. 
* Linnaeus in the firft Edition of his Genera Plantarum, 
made two Ordersin his Appendix, which in the laft Edi- 
tion of the Sy/fema Natura, he has reduced to one, find- 
ing, after more mature Examination, all the Plants in his 
fecond Order fell naturally under the other Clafles, and 
Orders, to which they properly belonged.
