142 Burseracee”: In general characters, this family is quite close to 
the Rutacess and Simarubaces. But, if we take the presence of the resin-ducts 
into consideration, we are forced to recognize that the same limited connection 
exists between the Burseracess and the very remotely placed Pinacem, as be- 
tween the latter family and the Anacardiaces. 
143 Meliacee”: In the presence of secretory cells, these bear some re- 
semblance to the Sapindacez. 
144 Malpighiaceze”: elated to the Exythroxylace, also to the Zygo- 
phyllacee through the intermediate form of Nitraria (Zygoph.). Somewhat 
comparable with the Sapindaces in fruit and habit. 
145 Trigoniacee®: Allied to the Polygalacem, Enphorbiacee, Hippo- 
crateacese, Malpigiacese, Sapindacese and Vochysiaceze. 
146 Vochysiacee”: This family is placed close to the Polygalacese by 
BeEnTH.-HooKer, but it is brought near the Oenotheracess by DE CANDOLLE. 
Also related to the Trigoniacese. 
147 Tremandracee”: Near Polygalacese, Sterculiacess and  Pitto- 
sporacese. 
148 Polygalacer”: Near the Leguminose. 
149 Dichapetalaceze®: So far’ as the sympetalous and zygomorphous 
flowers of some genera of the family are concerned, it should be assigned to 
the Metachlamydez. In other characters, the family shows the closest affinity 
with the Euphorbiaces. 
150 Euphorbiacee”: As regards the structure of the gyneceum and 
the seeds, this family is, generally speaking, closely related to the families of 
the Geraniales. An undeniable resemblance is to be seen between the Euphor- 
biacece and the Menispermacese™.
