This description of the Order, includes all Plants 

 of the garden and green-house, which are of the same 

 Family also, remember. But when we are studying 

 a Genus, we must only examine Wild Flowers : as 

 cultivation often alters the character of a Plant in 

 some respects. 



The names of all the Genera in this Order, must 

 now he given ; with the number of Species in each 

 Genus, against the name.
