THE NATURAL SYSTEM. 121 



The Endogenous Petaliferae are divided into two cohorts, viz. : 



5 The Spadiciflorce, having the flowers on a spadix, as in 

 the Egyptian Calla and Jack-in-the-pulpit. 



tj. The Floridi-CB, having the flowers separate, not on a 

 spidix, as in Tulip, Gladiolus. 



7. The Class Glamiferse constitutes the seventh cohort, 

 Tinder the name Gruminoids, i. e., the Grass-like plants. 



Six other cohorts are formed from the flowerless plants, 

 but we cannot notice them in this work. 



259. Lastly, the cohorts are themselves divided into, or 

 composed of, the Natural Orders, which we defined in Les- 

 son XXX.
