Cornea; were formerly included in Caprifoliacecc ; they are very near Araliacea (see these families) ; 

 they also approach Umbelliferee in the epigynous polypetalous and isostemonous corolla and its aestiva- 

 tion, in the pendulous anatropous ovule, albuminous embryo, and umbelled or capitulate inflorescence.

Vmbettifera are separated from Cornea by their two styles, dry fruit, minute embryo, and alternate cut 

 leaves with dilated petiole. The connection of Cortiets with Hamamelidece is noticed in the account of 

 the latter family. 



Cornea almost exclusively belong to the northern hemisphere ; they inhabit especially the Himalayas 

 [and Japan], and the temperate and cool regions of America ; they are very rare in tropical America, 

 Griselinia and Corokia belong to New Zealand j [Curtisia is South African].
