the Dipterocarpacese in the schizogenous resin-ducts. They resemble the Ebe- 
nace in their fruit. 
191 Dipterocarpacee”: Related to the Guttiferse in the resin-ducts, the 
family is also comparable to some extent with the Theacen, Ochnacee and 
Tiliaceze. In the presence of a ring of secretory canals in the medulla-crown, 
it resembles the Cornacese, Simarubacess and Hamamelidaces. 
192 Elatinacee”: Dr CanpoLe assigns this family to his Caryophyl- 
lee ; BARTLING joins it to the Lythracee; while BronaniarT and A. Brown 
place it near the Crassulaceze. Recently, it bas been brought near the Tamari- 
cacee and Frankeniaceze with which the Elatinacee show similar receptacles 
and ovaries, and bilamellate placentas. 
193 Frankeniacee”: This family is allied to the Guttifere in the habit, 
in the andreeceum and in the gynseceum (mostly trimerous’. But, it is closaly 
related to the Tamaricacerw, and is also comparable with the Caryophyllacez. 
194 Tamaricacee”: This family is certainly comparable with the 
Frankeniacee and Elatinacee. But, when we consider the gyneceum, 
placenta, ovules, seeds, and fruit and even the perforation of vessels and other 
anatomical characters, we are forced to conclude that the Tamaricaces are 
without doubt related to the Salicaces. 
195 Fouquieriacee”: These are unquestionablly related to the Pole- 
moniaces, in the 3-celled ovary, in the more or less connate styles, and in 
the tube-like corolla with stamens at its base. In other respects, they are 
quite close to the Tamaricaces. 
196 Cistacere™: Near the Bixacee and Violacez. ’ 
197 Bixacese”: Van TrrcHem refers this family to the Malvales. ENGLER 
places it in the Parietales. The latter opinion is explained by the resemblance 
of the Bixaces’ and Flacourtiacer, while the former is substantiated by the 
agreement of the Bixacew and Tiliaces in the mucilage canals in the medulla, 
cortex, and leaves; in the loculicidal dehiscence of the fruit; in the hairy
