CLASS XI. PLANTS DICOTYLEDONES 



Stamina idionjna. In this class, which is the last 

 ef M. De Jussieu's method, there are five orders. 



1. Euphorbia!. Char. Fruit formed of two or more 

 pods. Albumen fleshy. Cotyledons plane. Ex. 

 Mercurinlis. Buxiis. Ctoton. 



2. Cucurbitacece. Char. The bark of the berry

Such is the outline of M. Jussieu's method, with 

 some of the improvements suggested by Ventenat; 

 the original arrangement and nomenclature being still 

 retained. Our limits preclude us from pointing out 

 the alterations which have been introduced, or, indeed, 

 of detailing, as fully as might have been expected, 

 the particular views of Brown and Ventenat.
