also closely related to the Cunoniacess in the verticillate stipulate leaves, and 
in the presence of the inner and outer layers of the pericarps. 
121 Cunoniacez”: These come close to the Saxifragacee. But, the 
regular two-seriate seeds on the placenta and the tendency of the carpels to 
grow together, bring the Cunoniaces near the Crassulaces. 
122 Myrothamnacee”: This family is closely allied to the Cunoniaces 
in habit, in the opposite stipulate leaves, in the long, erect dense terminal flower- 
ed spike, in the bracts and bracteoles, in the fruit, and in the staminodes. 
123 Bruniaceew”: These approach very close to the Saxifragacem in 
anatomy, in flowers, and in fruits. They are near the Cunoniacem in their 
capitate flowers, and are also related to the Hamamelidacesx in fruits. 
124 Hamamelidacee”: Certainly closely related to the Saxifragaces 
and Cunoniacee ; but, in the anatomy of the wood, the family agrees with 
the Cumoniaceze and Bruniacece. 
125 Eucommiacerw”: Near Trochodendraces and Hamamelidaces. 
126 Platanacee™: Related to some extent to the Hamamelidacess in 
the form of the styles and stigmata. The family is also connected with the 
Rosacez in the structure of the stem, in the presence of phloroglucin, in the 
perigynous flowers with perfect apocarpous gyneceum, and especially to the 
Spireeese of the latter family in the receptacle, in the carpels, and in the leaves. 
127 Crossosomatacez”: Near the Rosacez. 
128 Rosaceze®: In floral structure this family bears some resemblance 
to the Calycanthacess and Ranunculaces; also to the Combretacese, Myrtaces, 
‘Thymeleacese, Leguminose, and to the Saxifragacese. 
129 Connaracee”: Intimately allied to the Leguminosx, and ‘also re- 
lated to some extent to the Anacardiacez. 
180 Leguminose™: Bears some affinity to the Rosaces, and to the 
Connaracee ; also to the Ranunculacese.”
