958 Verbenacem”: Related to the Scrophulariacese, Phrymaces and 
Convolvulacez. The borraginaceous genera with the terminal styles and 
actinomorphous flowers are very much like the Verbenacew. The Solanaces 
with few ovules are closely connected with the Verbenacez. 
259 Labiate”: The relation of this family to the Borraginacee is seen 
in the eremus-formation. It is also connected with the Scrophbulariaces, 
Acanthacee and Verbenacer. Bar~ton points out that the Borraginaces 
imply plants with terminal styles as well as those with gynobasic ones, while 
the Labiate and Verbenacee are each made a family, by the fact of its 
having terminal styles or gynobasic ones. Such a classification is altogether 
inconsistent. In any case, the separation of the latter two families is purely 
subjective”. 
260 Nolanacese”: This family is undeniably related to the Convolvu- 
laceze, Borraginacese, and Solanaces. Its connection with the Convolvulacez is 
to be found in the corolla, and in the 3-5-carpelled ovary. Its resemblance to 
the Borraginaceze exists in the peculiar fruit-formation. It is most closely ree 
lated to the Solanaceze in the estivation of the corolla, in the ramification of 
the stems, in the foliar arrangement, and in the structure. of the seeds. 
261 Solanaceze”: Morphologically speaking, this is a very heterogene- 
ous family. It includes several forms transitional between the families of the 
Tubifloree with actinomorphous flowers and those with zygomorphous flowers. 
The Solanes and Nicandree with regular flowers approach the families of the 
former category ; while the Cestree and Salpiglossidezx: pass so gradually into 
the Scrophulariaceze (a family of the latter category), that it is quite artificial 
to draw a line between these tribes of the Solanaces and the Scrophulariacez. 
A revision of the genera of the Solanacess shows us clearly that these genera 
bear close relations to several different families respectively. 
262 Scrophulariacee”: This has such close relations to many other 
families that it is rather a difficult task to limit the family. The Scrophularia--

Labiatee.
