REMARKS ON THE CLASS MONADELPHIA. 



Persoon has given the genera SISYRINCHIUM, Ti- 

 OKIDIA, and FERRARIA, under TRIANDKIA ; and has 

 transferred to the present class the genera STRU.MPFIA 

 and LOBELIA, which, after Willdenow, we have gi- 

 ven under PENTANDRIA ; and the genera STERCULIA 

 and KLEINHOFIA, which we have given under Do- 



DECANDBIA. 



The following plants might be expected to oc- 

 cur in this class ; but they belong to natural genera, 

 the species of which ought not to be separated, and 

 which fall under other classes.

 pighia. Banisteria. Hirza. Averrhoa. Triopte- 

 ris. Also several leguminous and papilionaceous ge-

 at least) united with the rest.
