* In the seeds of Dicotyledones there are always two cotyledons at least, and if there 

 are two only, they are always opposite. In the section " Angiospormae " the ovules are 

 enclosed in an ovary. 



t The differences of the four sub-classes into which De Candolle divides the class of 

 Exogens or Dicotyledoner " might be, in most cases, expressed thus :— 

 " 1 Polypetaloas — 



Stamens hypogynous =,^ThaIamiJiorce. 



Stamens perigynous , ^Calydjlora. 



" 2. Monopetalous =CoroUifiorw. 



" 3. Apetalous >. =Monochlamydece. 



" It is, however, to be observed that some of the Calyciflorse and Thalamifloras have a 

 , monopetalous corolla. In this classification, the student proceeds from what are considered 

 the most perfectly organized Exogens to those which are least so. Thus, all the parts 

 are present and distinct from each other in Thalamiflorse ; other things remaining the same, 

 the stamens adhere to the calyx in Calyciflorae; the stamens join the petals and the petals 

 each other in CorolliflorEe ; and in MonochlamydeHe, first the corolla disappears, and then, 

 among the most incomplete orders, the calyx also ceases to be developed." (Lindley'3 

 " School Botany.") Orders 42, 47, 48 in this Catalogue are placed under " CalycifloraB," in 

 accordance with De Candolle's arrangement. According to the plan adopted by Lindley, 

 who regards the essential mark of CorroliflorEE to reside in the monopetalous corolla | 

 these orders would come under " Corolliflorse." -;wS:?s::k.«^';-'°'
