parietal placentas, in the small seeds, in the dehiscence of the fruit and in 
the leaf-shape. f 
211 Ancistrocladacez”: This family is somewhat related to the Com- 
bretacer, Malpighiaces, Symplocaceze, Myristicaceee and Anonacez in one point 
or another. PLancHon places it near the Dipterocarpacese, while BEnrHam- 
Hooker and BaruLon go a step further and even assign it to that family. 
Series XXXIX. Opuntiales 
9:2 Cactacere”: Related to the Aizoacee, as can be seen in the 
floral diagrams of Mesembrianthemum and Opuntia. 
Series XL. Myrtifiore 
213 Geissolomatacere”: BarLuon refers this family to the Celastracem. 
BENTHAM-HOOKER assigns it to the Penseacez. Dr CaNDOLLE on the other 
hand regards it as a distinct family and places it near the Penseaces. 
214 Penwacere”: Very close to the Thymeleaces. 
215 Oliniaceew”: BrntH.-HookEer assions this family, though with 
some hesitation, to the Lythraces. BarLLon insists on its being referable to 
the Rhamnacer. Guxc retains it as a distinct family and refers it to the 
Thymeleeales, placing it next to the Pensacez. 
216 Thymeleacese”: In the receptacles and their effiguration and in 
the often stalked ovaries, this family is comparable with the Passifloraces. 
But in other respects, it is very close to the Combretacess and Lythraces. In 
the cyclical structure of the flowers, in the symearpous gyneceum, and in 
the absence of albumen, it comes near the Lauraces. 
217 Eleagnaces”: Near the Thymeleacer, in the floral structure, 
especially in the receptacles and fruit. Barinon places this family between 
the Lauracese and the Myristicacese. 
218 Lythraceze”: This comes near the Myrtaces and Onagraces, and
