Euphorbia, placed by Linnseus in the class Dodccandria, is 

 now understood by Jussieu {Gen, PL) and Brown {Terr. Ausir.) 

 to have separated flowers, conformably to the g-encral character 

 of its natural order. What Linnicus and others have taken for 

 stamens appear to bo distinct monandrous barren flowers ;" 

 " consequently Euphorbia is to be removed to Monoecia Monan- 

 dria/'— ^m. Engl Fl. 2. p. 310. 8ce also Gram, of Bot. p, 1S5.

The successive manner in which the supposed stamens are 

 evolved is a strong" argument in favosr of their being* flowers ; 

 and 1 have had no hesitation in adopting the above arrangement.
