single integments, the family is somewhat comparable with the sympetalous 
families. But in other respects, it rather resembles the Euphorbiaces. 
Series XXXV. Sapindales 
152 Buxacese”: ENpiLicHer, MULier of Argau and EICHLER place this 
family near the Euphorbiacew. Brxtroam-Hooxer goes a step further and as- 
signs it to the latter family. Battion, however, treats the Buxaceex as a tribe 
of the Celastracee. Further, it bears some resemblance to the Empetracee. 
153 Empetracee”: Comparable with the Euphorbiacez and Celastracex 
(EIcHLER and ENDLICHER); but certainly assignable to the Sapindales in the 
structure of flowers and seeds. Also near the Buxacee. 
154 Coriariacee®: Closely related to the Empetracezx. 
155 Limnanthaceew”: The family is near the Geraniacex, in its habit ; 
but is seen to be related to the Anacardiacez, Sapindaceze and Aceracer, when 
the characters of the ovules are taken into consideration. 
155 Anacardiacze”: In the characters of the seeds, this family is 
closely related to the Sapindacee; while the presence of resin-ducts gives it 
the same relationship as we have described under the Burseracese. It bears 
some resemblance to the Juglandaces and Julianiaces. 
157 Cyrillacze”: Praxcnoy considering the habit and the peculier 
anthers of Costea in this family places it near the Ericacese. BaILLON makes 
the Aquifoliacese akin to the Cyrillaceze. 
158 Pentaphylacacee”: The family is related to the Celastracese in so 
far as the absence of stipules, the inflorescence in the campylotropous ovules, 
and the dehiscence of the fruit are concerned. It is, however, to some extent, 
comparable with the Clethracesx, when we lay stress upon the pored anthers 
and the capsules. It bears on one hand some resemblance to the Theacew in 
habit, while, on the other, it is related to the Coriariaces, in the character of 
the perianth, in the diagram of the flowers, and in the dorsal raphe of the 
ovules,
