The principle now so universally adopted in Zoology, 

 of giving uniformity of ending to the names of groups of 

 the same value, has at last, though tardily, been intro- 

 duced into Botany, by Lindley. The Families (these he 

 sometimes calls Orders, and sometimes Tribes, though for 

 what reason I do not know,) end in aceoe, and I will now 

 give a few examples of this improved plan. Like Birds, 

 Plants are divided into Fire Orders.
