102. The Olive (Fig. 71) is here also. Its Order includes the 

 Ash (Fig. 8, B). The Ebony-trees are here (Fig. 228); the Sapo- 

 dilla Order, which includes the Gutta-Percha (Fig. 149). The Prim- 

 rose (Fig. 5, i) is here; and the Plantain (Fig. 136). 



103. The Heaths (Fig. 72) are here also, with their various and 

 beautiful sub-orders and tribes. 



104. Subdivision II. Ovary Adherent. 



The Harebell (Fig. 144) is in this small Subdivision, — small, 

 however, only in the number of its Orders. For it includes the 

 Sunflower Order; and this comprises one-tenth of the whole Phan- 

 erogamia, and contains more than 10,000 species. In this great 

 family we find the Dandelion (Fig. 142), the Artichoke (Fig. 214), 

 the Marigold (Fig. 143), the Jerusalem Artichoke (Fig. 95). 

 The Teasel is here also (Fig. 105). 



105. The Valerian (Fig. 73) represents the adherent 

 ovary of this Subdivision; we see 

 in its fruit the resemblances to the 

 fruit of both the Teasel and the 

 Sunflower. 



The Madder Order is in this Subdivis- 

 ion ; it includes the Sweet Woodruff 

 (Fig. 110), Ipecac (Fig. 90), and Coffee 

 (Fig. 147). The Honeysuckle Order (Fig. 

 107) closes this Subdivision. 



106. Number Five. — Observe that 

 the number Mve prevails now in 

 the floral whorls (Bignonia, Egg- 

 plant, etc.). Rarely is the number 

 Two or a multiple of two (Olive) ; 

 rarely Three or a multiple of three 

 (pistils of flower of the Oak). Ob- 

 serve that the stem is now fully 

 exogenous, — differentiated into true 

 pith, wood, and bark (Fig. 81); 



and that it is solvent, — divided no. 73.-vaierian (F<,feri™a

the leaves are net-veined, — with '°^'

thus forming a net (Fig. 74).
