NATURAL ORDERS AND GENERA OF BOMBAY PLANTS. 249 



Ficoidacese, Ilicaccse and Samydacene of Cooke are Dichapetalacese, Aizoa- 

 cese, Aquifoliaceas and Flacourtiacefe respectively of Engler and Prantl. 

 And Boraginacete, Haloragidacese and Malphigiaceie* of the former are 

 Borraginacepe, Halorrhagidaceee and Malpighiaceoe of the latter. Then 

 there are differences in the limits of the orders between the two. Fumaria- 

 cese, Hypericacese and lUecebracese appear in Cooke as independent orders. 

 In the other work they are subordinated under Papaveraceie, Guttiferte 

 and Caryophyllaceee, respectively. A large number of independent orders 

 of Engler and Prantl, on the other hand, are similarly subordinated in 

 Cooke as shown in the table further on. 



There are also many transfers of genera from one order to another. 

 Thus Sansevieria and Ophiopogon are found under Hsemodoraceso in Cooke, 

 while in Engler and Prantl they are given under Liliacepej;. The sequence of 

 the natural orders in the two works is entirely different. The sequence repre- 

 sents the view taken of the affinities of plants, and as such is of the grea- 

 test consideration. I give further below the sequence of orders of Cooke 

 (based as it is on that of Bentham and Hooker) and of Engler and Prantl. 

 Only those orders are mentioned that include Bombay genera, whether indi- 

 genous or introduced.
