 the receptacle, which diftinguiflies the clafs polyand

Secondly 

 of Lin- 



naeus, which alfo approach 



ard a natural clafs. And thirdly 



the infertion of the filaments alternately to the claws of 



petal 



d to th 



ptacl

part 



of the 



ral 



order of the caryophyllei^ in which the number of the ftamina is 



very

Fourthly, the fituation of the filaments in rcfped to each oth 



firft in the natural order of Linnseus termed ftellatae 



part of 



the tetrandria monogynia ; the diverging filaments oppofe each oth 



and 



might be termed cruciform, as in

dly, where five diverging filaments affume the appearance of 



ilar, as in the natural order of umbellat 



part of pentandria di 



gynia, 



d mic^ht have a name borrowed alfo from their number 



to 



like five-ftarred, or cinque-pointed^ applied to the filaments, as men 



tioned above 



Fifthly, the adhefions of the filaments to each other at their bafe^. 

 This has given names to three claffes of the Linnasan fyftem, which 

 approach to natural ones, ui 



der the term of brotherhoods 



as 



firfl. 



where the filaments all adhere at their bafe, as 

 ia ; fecondly, where they adhere in two fet 



the clafs monadel

as in 



the 



ifs polyadelphia* 

 Sixth Iv, the adhefi 



of the' filaments to th 



as where 



they adhere more than half their length to the internal part of it 

 as in many monopetalous flowers, as primula, auricula ; or wher< 

 the filament arifes from the petal, or where the anthers adhere to thi 

 xnargin of the petal, as in many of the natural order of fcitaminese 

 as obferved in the Prasled. in Ord.Natur. a Gifeke, p. 189 



Seventhly, where the filaments adhere to the ftyle 

 gynandria, which approaches to a natural one. 



Eighthly, the fituations of the^ flamina not
