is also related to the Punicaces, Blattiacess and to the Combretacen. 
219 Sonneratiacez” (=Blattiacex): Near the Lythraceee in morpho- 
logical and anatomical characters. It is also close to the Punicaces. 
220 Punicacee”: Closely related to the Lythraces in the valvate calyx, 
in the imbricate wrinkled petals, in the stamens and in the anatomy of the 
.stem. Also to the Sonneratiacese in the ovary partly connate to the receptacles, 
and in the 4-winged yougg stems. 
221 Lecythidacee”: Intimately connected with the Myrtaces. But the 
family comes near the Sonneratiacese through Ftelidia (Liecythid.) on one hand, 
while on the other, it is allied to the Rhizophoraces through Barringtonia 
(Lecythid.) The latter genus is referred to the Myrtacese in my general index. 
222 Rhizophoracee”: This family is kin to the Combretaces and 
Lythraces. It is related to the former family by the Anisophylloides (Rhi- 
zoph.), in the locular ovary and in the stout hypocotyle; to the latter family 
by the Macarisiese (Rhizoph.) with free ovaries. 
223 Nyssacere”: Related to the Combretacez in the one-celled ovary, 
and in the diplostemonous androeceum. 
224 Alangiacem™: These approach Polyosma which is referable to 
the Saxifragaces, in the general construction of its flowers. 
225 Combretacer”: Related to the Rhizophoracese, Myrtaces and 
Onagrace. 
226 Myrtacee®: To be mentioned as akin to the Lythracew and Son- 
neratiacee by the Metrosiderinz ; and to the Lecythidacee by the Myrtine. 
227 Melastomatacern™: In habit, in floral structure, and in the anato- 
my of the stem, this family is closely related to the Myrtacew and to the Ly- 
thracese,when especially the genera of the Melastomatacess with pinnati-nerved 
leaves and reduced appendages of the connectives are considered. In the dis- 
placement of the placenta, and in the course of development of the ovary, it is
