d$. (Orchidales.) Typically 3-merous and 4-cyclic; stamens I, rarely 2, connate 



with the stigma. Perianth 2-seriate, both series petaloid, but differentiated ; 



the inner being very zygomorphic, and its posterior becoming its anterior 



from the torsion of the long inferior I -(rarely 3-) celled ovary. Seeds very

a few are petaliferous, but with simple perianth. Families 22-31, pp. 325-354. 



d. (Salicales.} Flowers naked, dioecious, with cup-like or tooth-like disk. Stamens 



2 oo. Carpels 2, united. Ovary I -celled, with 2 parietal placentae, and many

with simple, alternate, mostly stipulate leaves. 



Family 22. Salicacea, Willow, p. 325. 

 dz. Flowers cyclic, rarely naked. Stamens mostly opposite the perianth-leaves.

with oily endosperm. Family 24. Urticacece, Nettle, p. 330. 



d$. Perianth cyclic, bract-like or petaloid, rarely differentiated into calyx and corolla. 



Flowers hermaphrodite or diclinous. 



e. (Proteales.) Flowers usually 2-4-merous, the stamens hypogynously opposite 

 and adnate to the petaloid segments, only the anthers free. Carpel i ; seed 

 mostly i. Chiefly woody plants, with alternate, estipulate leaves. 



Family 25. Proteacece, p. 333.
