Series XLIV. Plumbaginales 
244 Plumbazinacee”: Near the Primulaces and Myrsinaces as can 
be seen in the diagram of flowers, in the one-celled ovary consisting of 5- 
carpels with a basal placenta and in the double-coated ovules. Many place 
this family near the Polygonacez. 
Series XLV. Ebenales 
945 Sapotacex” : Comparable with the Myrsinacez and the Ebena- 
cee; also with the Styracaceze in the floral structure. 
246 Ebenacerw”: Closely allied to the Styracaces, Symplocacee and 
Sapotacese. Also comparable with the Anonacess in the rimose albumen of 
the seeds and in the trimerous flowers. The family approaches the Guttiferz 
in the fruit. 
247 Symplocacee”: Certainly related to the Styracacese, Ebendaces 
and Sapotaceze in general characters, but in some respects, the family is con- 
nected with the Ancistrocladacese. In external and anatomical features, it is 
very near the Aquifoliaces. 
248 Styracacee”: Closely related to the Symplocacem, Sapotaces 
and Ebenacece. 
Series XLVI. Contortw 
249 Oleaceze”: Undoubtedly allied to the Loganiacese and the Rubia- 
cee; but in other characters, comparable with the Celastracese and Salvado- 
races. 
250 Loganiacee”: This is a very heterogeneous family, the genera of 
which are related respectively to the Asclepiadaces, Apocynacess, Gentianacee, 
Solanacexe, Rubiacew, and Scrophulariacese. BarLton holds the view that the 
family should be disorganized and its genera should be referred respectively 
to the different families above mentioned.
