ENNEANDRIA. 321 



Africa, but not known in America ; and the fragrant 

 Daphne, t. 1381, of which last the Levant possesses 

 many charming species. Acer, the Maple, is re- 

 moved hither in Ft. Brit, from the twenty-third 

 Class. 



2. Digynia has a few plants, but little known ; among 

 them are Galenia africana, and Moehringia mus- 

 cosa. 



3. Trigynia. Polygonum, t. 436, 509, 94 1, is a genus 

 whose species differ in the number of their stamens 

 and styles, and yet none can be more natural. 

 Here therefore the Linnssan system claims our in- 

 dulgence. Paullinia and Cardiospermum are more 

 constant. 



4. Tetragynia. Here we find the curious Paris, t. 7, 

 and Adoxa, t. 453. Of the former I have lately 

 received a new species, gathered by my liberal friend 

 Buchanan among the mountains of Nepaul. 



CLASS 9. Enneandria. Stamens 9- Orders 3. 



1. Monogynia* Of this the precious genus Laurus, 

 including the Cinnamon, Bay, Sassafras, Camphor, 

 and many other noble plants, is an example. 



2. Trigynia has only Rheum, the Rhubarb, nearly 

 related to Rumex. 



3. Hexagynia. Butomusumbdlatus, Engl. Bot. t.65\, 

 a great ornament to our rivers and pools.
