NATURAL niSTOIiY OF PLANTS. 



five i^roups Chri/fiohnlanacea: DrupacecB; Pomacca,' Sanffuisorbacece' 

 and Ito^anue proper, distinct orders of his alliance Bomles, in the 

 same cates^ory with Lcf/i/m'uioseB {Fahaccfe) and Cali/canthacece. 



I n the Rosarcfe, as understood by A. P. de Candolle, were sixty-nine 

 ;,reneiii admitted before his time or by him, which are, in our enume- 

 ration, reduced to sixty-five. Of these sixteen were Linnean genera, 

 namely, Rosa, Ayrimonia, Alchemilla, Sanguisorha, Cliffortia, Fragaria, 

 Potnifilla, Jiiiljii.s, Gciini, Bryan, Spirmi, Pyrus, Cratayus, Prunus, 

 C/irysoha/atiits, and Hirfclla. He retained Cydonia of Tournefort ;' 

 A I hlkt's* four genera, Couepia, Acioa, Parinari, and Licania ; 

 Pulylrpis, Maryyricarpiis, Kaycneclda, and Smeymadermos' of Euiz & 

 I'avon ; Granyvria of Commerson,' Acana of Vahl,' Lindleya, Cerco- 

 carpits and Brayera of Kunth,'" Gillenia of Mcench,'' and NeilUa of 

 Don." De Candolle had himself established'^ the two new genera 

 Pitrshia and A'c/ria, and adopted those which Lindley had just 

 proposed" in his group Pomacea, namely, Bap/doiepis, Chamcemeles, 

 Erinbolrya, Osfcomelcs and Amelanchier }^ Sfylobasium, established by 

 Dksfontaixes in 1819, was still referred to Terebinthacecs. The 

 genus Eucrypliia of Cavanilles'® was placed with Hypericinea or 

 C/t/ciiaci'ce ; nor was Pyyeum of Gt^rtner'^ yet considered one of Bo- 

 xacP(B ; while Lecostcmon of Mocinno & Sesse'^ was only considered 

 a doubtful member of the order. In fine, the number of the genera 

 tlien known, now admitted by us in this order, reached forty-three. 



The other twenty-one genera are of contemporary or nearly con- 

 temporary origin. The greatest number are due to the English 



it closely npproncbes, it is true, in the situation ' Described earlier by Molina (1782), under 



of ita caq)cls ; but it appears to us to approach the name of Qulllaja, and placed by A. L. DE 



the Hifhrrsleinieoi more closely than any other JussiEU {Gen. 444) among the Qen. incertcE 



natuml gruup; so that \vc shall have nothing sedis.
