308 BIOLOGY. 



1681. First order, Foliaria parencliymatosce. Herbs 

 with bilocular capsules, in which there are many seeds 

 placed upon a median cone. The capsule dehisces, 

 while both carpels separate from each other Primula- 

 ce(B, Scroplmlaricp., Solanece. 



1682. Second order, F. vaginata. For the most part 

 herbaceous, their many-seeded carpels springing open at 

 the dorsal suture Orobancliacece, Rkinanthacece, and 



1683. Third order, F. axonales. Regular quinary 

 corollse with seeds borne upon the margins of the two 

 carpellar valves Gentianacete, Asclepiadacece, Jasmines. 



1684. Fourth order, F. for ales. Few seeds in one 

 capsule ; the pistil becomes nut-like or trilocular La- 

 biate, Polemoniacece, Convolvulacete . 



1685. Fifth order, F. fructuaria. Herbs and shrubs 

 with fruits ; as nuts, plums and berries. For their 

 sixteen families (vid. Tab. B.) 



B. BLOSSOM-PLANTS. 



1686. Flowers poly pet alous. 



SECOND CIRCLE. 

 Flower-plants. 



1687. Calyx, corolla, stamina and ovarium perfectly se- 

 parated from each other Pedunculate corolla or Hypo- 

 gynes. The blossom must be here developed in the most 

 perfect manner ; i. e. all its parts must be complete and 

 separated from each other. This is the case only in 

 the hypogynous Polypetalse. 



1688. The lowest organized kinds must, from being a 

 repetition of them, remind us of the grasses and Syn- 

 genesia. They are therefore polycarpellar or multi- 

 ovarial. Ranunculacece, Malvaceae, Magnoliacece. 



1689. Unto these are allied those plants whose ovaria 

 consist of several carpels, but that are connate with 

 each other, and mutually separate for the first time with
