OF LINNAEUS WITH THOSE OF JUSSIEU. 205 



48. AGGREGATE The two systems do not here ac- 

 cord, and it is necessary to explain some manuscript 

 alterations of Linnaeus. This Order is divided, in the 

 Gen. PI., into four sections. consists of Statice only : 

 /3 of Hartogidj Brunia, Protea, Globularia, Leuca- 

 dendron, Hebenstretia, Selago, Cephalantluis, Dipsa- 

 cus, Scabiosa, Knautia and Allionia : y of Valtnana y 

 Morina, Boerhaavia and Circ&a, to which Mirabilis is 

 added in manuscript : and % of Lonicera, Chiococca y 

 Triosteum, Mitchella. Lisianthus in manuscript, Ltn- 

 n<ea,Morinda,Conocarpus, Hillia in manuscript, Loran- 

 thus and Viscum. The letter /3 is removed in the manu- 

 script to Cephalanthus ; so that the 1st section extends 

 from Statice to Selago, inclusive; and is marked "alter- 

 nifoli( infers" leaves alternate, flowers inferior(or ger- 

 men superior). The other three sections, from Cepha- 

 lanthus to Viscum, are marked il oppo&itifol'uz super <*" 

 leaves opposite, flowers superior. The first section 

 thus extended abounds with errors. Statice and Bru- 

 nia indeed, thought near akin by Linnaeus, are puz- 

 zling genera, about which various opinions may be 

 formed. Jussieu refers the former to his Plumbaginet 

 33, the latter to his doubtful Rhamni 95. Hartogia 

 is the same genus as Diosnia, a true Rutacea 8 1 , 

 which Linnaeus subsequently discovered. Protea and 

 Leucadendron form the basis of Jussieu's and Brown's 

 great Order of Proteacea 26, not detected by Lin- 

 naeus, to which Jussieu was inclined to refer Globu- 

 laria ; but he left the latter at the end of his Lyiima-
