204 COMPARISON OF THE NATURAL ORDERS 



probably not discriminated by Linnicus,in consequence 

 of the habit he had acquired of considering his Didy- 

 namia Angiospermia as completely a natural assem- 

 blage. 



41. ASPERIFOLUF, Borraginea 42. 



42. VERTICILLATJE Labiatce 39- 



43. DUMOSJE Rhamni 95 constitute the bulk of 

 this Order; with one or two Rutacea \, more of 

 which latter are added in manuscript. Viburnum, Sam- 

 bucus and Rhus are also placed here, with some 

 marks of doubt, and Linnaeus ingenuously confesses 

 that he was dissatisfied with the whole. 



44. SEPIARIJE lasminea 37. 



45. UMBELLATJE Umbdlifera 60. 



46. HEDERACE^E Araliee 59, at least so far as 

 concerns the first two genera, Panax and Aralia. Xan- 

 thoxylon is one of the Rutacece 81. The remainder, 

 Hcdera, Vitls, and Cissus, are proposed in the ma- 

 nuscript of Linnaeus to be transferred to his 34th Or- 

 der, Cucurbit ace <e, but he remarks that their fruit is 

 not tricapsular, or trilocular. The tendrils and fo- 

 liage may possibly have led to this idea of their affi- 

 nity, which is certainly not tenable on other grounds. 



47. STELLATE Rubiacea 57, sect. 1 and 2, the 

 remaining sections of Jussieu being faintly indicated 

 by Linnaeus in his sect. /3 and y. The latter had not 

 detected those characters, even of habit, which unite 

 the shrubby Rubiace<e into a very distinct and natural 

 assemblage.
