NATURAL HISTORY OF PLANTS. 



included three of the genera which we have just described {Grewia, 

 IHumfetta, and Corc/wrus), with the Teas (Fr., Thes), Arnattos (Fr., 

 Boucouyers), Magnolias, Eelicteres and Tri'dulus. Adanson 1 divided his 

 order of Limes into two sections, of which the first included those 

 of our TUiacecB known in his time, together with some Buettneriece , and 

 Bioca. Unhappily, A. L. de Jussieu, 2 returning to the errors of his 

 uncle, and even making them worse, assembled in Tiliacece some 

 HermanniecB and Ternstroemiacece, such as Steioartia, most of the 

 Bixacece and the Samydece described at that time. He was con- 

 strained in 1819 3 to modify the limits of 'Tiliacece, and to separate 

 from them HermanniecB and Flacourtia ; but he still left there a 

 great many strange genera. At the same time he distinguished 

 some genera as having elongated anthers and others as having 

 short ones. These became in the classification of De Candolle 4 

 the order Elceocarpece, 5 with the Tiliacece proper comprising 

 seventeen genera, which we have maintained as distinct, that is to 

 say : Sparmannia, Corchorus, Honckenya, Triumfetta, Grewia, Columbia, 

 Tilia, Muntingia, Apeiba, Sloanca, Christiana, Luhea, Berrya, Elceo- 

 carpus, Aristotelia {Friesia), Vallea, Crinodendron (Tricuspidaria), 

 besides the genera doubly employed, with Gyrostemon, a Diptero- 

 carpece : Vatica, and doubtfully Abatia. Endlicher 6 added, in 

 1838, Hasseltia ofKuNTH, 7 Afollia of Martius, 8 Entelea of K. Brown, 9 

 Frockia {Trilix) of Linnaeus, and Broionlowia of Boxburgh. 10 After 

 that Korthals established the genus Schoutenia, and Blume Trichosper- 

 mum. Finally the following genera were published : Diplodiscus, 

 by Turczaninow, 11 and Pentace, by Hasskarl. 12 In England the 

 genera G/yp/icea, 13 PIagiopteron, u Erinocarpus, 1 ' 3 Pifyra?ithe, X6 Carpo- 

 diptera, n Grceffea,™ and Ancistrocarpus, 19 were described. The genus 

 Antholoma of Labillardiere 20 was definitely connected" 1 with Tiliacece.
