is to be placed next to the Bixaces (Parietales). It is also to some extent 
comparable to the Simarubaces (Geraniales). Moreover, the resemblance 
between the Keeberliniaceze and the Capparidacez is so close that the former 
is by some authors incorporated into the latter. 
Dichapetalacee” (Geraniales): Some genera with gamopetalous and 
zygomorphous flowers of the same family are assignable to the Metachlamydex. 
But in other genera with polypetalous flowers, it agrees perfectly with the 
Euphorbiacee—Phyllanthoides (Geraniales). Its natural position therefore, 
shifts from one place to another, according to the different criteria applied. 
Cyrillacess” (Sapindales): This group is related to the Ericaces in the 
habit and peculiar anthers of Cosiea (Cyrill.). In another respect, it is 
undeniablly allied to the Aquifoliacess. Hooker regards it as referable to the 
Anacardiacee, while ENGLER looks upon it as a distinct family assignable to 
the Sapindales. 
Corynocarpacess” (Sapindales): This group is referred to the Berberidaces 
by JussieU and SPRENGEL, while it is assigned to the Myrsinaceze by others. 
Van TrEGHEM places it near the Geraniacev. 
Salvadoracess” (Sapindales) : This should find its place among the 
Sapindales near the Celastracese, if we lay great stress upon the choripetalous 
genera, dzima and Dobera. But on the contrary, if the gamopetalous genera 
of the same family preponderate, then it should be placed close to the Oleaces. 
Fouquieriacese (Parietales): This is related to the Polemoniaces by the 
3-celled ovary, by the more or less connate styles, and by the tube-like corolla 
with stamens at its base; but, in other characters besides those just givan, it 
is quite close to the Tamaricacer. 
Winteranaces” (Parietales): In the presence of oil-cells in the cortex, 
pith and leaves, in the general structure of the xylem, especially in the 
tracheids with bordered pits in wood-prosenchyma and in the inconstant 
number and spiral arrangement of the perianth-segments, this group comes 
very close to the Magnoliacese (Ranales). On the other hand, if the connate
