steum, fig. 239, Polycarpon, Donatia Forst., Mollugo, 

 Minuartia and Queria. 



Sect. 2. Cal. the same. Stam. 4. Styles 2 or 4. 

 Biiffbnia and Sagina. 



Sect. 3. Cal. the same. Stam. 5 to 8. Styles 2, 

 3, or 4. Alsine (A. media is a Stellaria. Fl. Brit. 473), 

 Pharnaceum, Moekringia and Elatine. 



Sect. 4. Cal. the same. Stam. 10. Styles 3 or 5. 

 Eergia, Spergula, Cerastium, Cherleria, Armaria 

 and Stellaria, fig. 240. (Arenaria, Alsine and jHb- 

 losteum vary into each other, except the last may be 

 determined, as I believe, by it's jagged Petals.) 



Sect. 5. Cal. tubular. Stam. 10, 5 alternate ones 

 generally attached to the Petals. Styles 2, 3, or 5. 

 Gypsophila, Saponaria, Dianthus, fig. 15, 16, Silene, 

 Cucubalus, Lychnis and Agrostemma. 



Sect. 6. Cal. the same. Slam, fewer than 10. Styles 

 2 or 3. Velezia, Drypis, and Sarothra. 



Sect. 7. Genera akin to Caryophyllea. Rotala, 

 Frankenia, fig. 241, Linum and Lechea. The latter 

 may be referred to Sect. 1 . Rotala belongs, as Jus- 

 sieu suspected, to his Salicari^ Ord. 91. Linum is 

 very ambiguous, and it's affinity has not been satisfac- 

 torily determined by any botanist. Frankenia bears 

 some relationship to the Ficoidete, Ord. 87.
