176 LEGUMINOS^. [Cl. 14. 



over the Cotyledons, without any separate Albumen; 

 in -those with regular ones, the Embryo is enfolded in 

 a thickish membranous Albumen, and the Radicle is 

 straight. The Cotyledons usually rise in the form of 

 seminal leaves, like the generality of dicotyledonous 

 plants ; sometimes they remain below, distinct from 

 the first Leaves. Stem herbaceous, shrubby, or ar- 

 boreous, for the most part alternately branched. Leaves 

 with Stipulas, alternate, in a very few imperfectly op- 

 posite, sor.jetimes simple, more generally ternate, or 

 digitate, or once or repeatedly pinnate. Inflorescence 

 various." 



Such are the marks of this great natural Order, 

 which has no relationship at all to the last, in cha- 

 racters or properties, as far as I can perceive, though 

 Jussieu hints at an affinity between those with regular 

 Flowers, and some of the monogynous Rosacets. The 

 difficulties attending the papilionaceous tribe, with 

 respect to their being referred to the Linnaean class 

 Diaddphia, have already been explained, p. 48. Jus- 

 sieu's Sections labour under the very same exceptions.
