300 NATURAL HISTORY OF PLANTS. 
should form part of the group of Bivacee ; while the Papayaceæ' have 
been rejected far from them near to the Passiforee, together with 
most of the Samydee,? Homalice, Turneree.’ We have just proposed 
to leave the latter definitely in the same family as the Samydee, from 
which they appear to us inseparable, as Papayaee is, we think, from 
Pangice. Cochlospermum, ascribed by us to Cistacee,’ by others to 
Ternstremiacee, has been introduced by Buntuam and Hooker into 
the family of Bivacee,’ which (thanks to the separation proposed 
by Payer, of Homaliee into two secondary series, of which the one 
with a free gynæceum takes the name of Ca/anticee*) really includes 
ten secondary groups, of the general character of which we will give 
an epitome. 
I. Bixeæ.—Flowers generally large, hermaphrodite or poly- 
gamous diecious. Petals larger than the sepals, or wanting, desti- 
tute of appendages or inner scale, imbricated or contorted. Anthers 
linear or oblong, indefinite in number. Fruit dry or fleshy, dehis- 
cent or indehiscent, generally covered with prominent ribs, tubercles, 
or prickles. Woody plants, with alternate leaves, and stipules gene- 
rally small.—(2 genera.) : 
II. Fracourrieæ.—Flowers generally unisexual, rarely herma- 
phrodite, apetalous, with convex receptacle (and hypogynous inser- 
tion). Anthers usually short, dehiscing by longitudinal clefts.— 
(7 genera.) 
III. Samypr#.— Flowers generally hermaphrodite, rarely uni- 
sexual, with petals nil or little developed, nearly equal and analogous 
to the sepals. Receptacle more or less pateriform or cupuliform 
(whence the more or less pronounced perigynous insertion of the
