c. We have last the epigynous and perigynous Polypetaljs, 

 the Umbelliferae, Rosacese, Leguminosffi, &e. Both in the struc- 

 ture of the flower and of the fruit, these connect themselves with 

 the so called Apetalae (as Proteacese) and the Diclines (as Amenta- 

 cea3). The lowest of these are without doubt the Apetalse, which 

 are distinguished for the remarkable development of a single 

 seed, which becomes a Nut ; hence Nut-plants. Next to these 

 come Leguminosse, &c., the Drupe-plants. Thirdly, the Rham- 

 ne, Granatese, &c., constitute the Berry-plants. And last, the 

 Umbelliferas, Rosacese, &c. the Apple-plants. 



Looking, then, at the whole Plant-kingdom as divided into Coun- 

 tries and Districts, it will appear as follows : 



1st Country.

 If we cast back a glance over the foregoing, says our author, we 



seem to see demonstrated the perfect regularity of the plant king- 

 dom, and the definiteness of every thing therein. The whole is on- 

 ly one single plant in pieces, every piece whereof is independently 

 developed into a peculiar structure ; like separate chapels in the 

 great temple of nature, repeating in small the great design.
