 and ; Cephalanthits, Chiococca, Mitchella, Morinda 

 and Hillia are well 'considered by Jussieu as Rubia- 

 cete 57. From Dipsacus to Morina, inclusive, are 

 his Dipsacece 56. Boerhaavia and Mirabilis are Afyc- 



tagines 32. Clrceea is one of the Onagrce 88. Z0- 

 nicera, Triosteum, Limitfa, Lor ant hits and Viscum 

 are Capr'ijolia 58. Lisianthus belongs undoubtedly 

 to the Gentians 46. 



From the above detail it appears, that there can 

 hardly be a. greater discordance of opinion than exists 

 between Linnaeus and Jussieu, concerning the plants 

 of this Order ; nor can the latter be denied the honour 

 of having best, if not perfectly, understood their affi- 

 nities.
