Cl. 8.] SOLANE7E. 101 



of Buchnera, with Mimulus, and Litnosella, to which 

 New Holland has furnished several new additions. 

 Respecting Limosella, as being much better placed 

 here than in the 34th Order, there can surely be no 

 doubt. Sibthorpia and Disandra belong, without 

 question, to the Scrophularice, not to the Pedicu- 

 lares. 



Except in the Stamens, and perhaps Corolla, there 

 is little affinity between this Order and the Labiate. 

 Their qualities are almost totally different; nor is there 

 any analogy between the Fruit of each. The bulk of 

 the 39th makes the 1st Order in Linnaeus's Didyna- 

 mia, that of the 40th the 2d Order of that Class. 



Ord. 41. SOLANEJE. " Calyx more or less deeply 

 5-cleft, often permanent. Corolla 5-cleft, and most 

 generally regular, bearing the 5 Stamens from its 

 base. Style simple, as is generally the Stigma. Fruit 

 of 2 cells, with many Seeds ; either capsular, and 

 agreeing with the Scrophulariee ; or more frequently 

 pulpy, with central Receptacles, from the middle of 

 the partition, subdividing the cells, and covered with 

 the Seeds. Embryo surrounding a farinaceous Albu- 

 men. (See below.) Stern herbaceous or shrubby. 

 Leaves alternate ; sometimes 2, accompanying the 

 inflorescence, from the same point. Flowers variously 

 disposed, often extra-axillary, from the sides of the 

 branch, next to the Leaves." 



The Fruit is capsular in Sect. 1 . Celsia, Verbascum, 

 Hyoscyamus, Nicotiana } &nd. Datura; pulpy in Sect. 2.
