 Dr. Hooker allows that " Sprengel and Smith have made great 



improvements in the formation of the Genera" of this Natural 



Order : but Dr. Hooker gives a preference to a different arrange- 

 ment, to which the reader is referred, in his masterly British Flora, 



vol. i. p. 112. 1830. The arrangement and characters here 



adopted, are those of Sir J. E. Smith.
