compositous ones. The presence of inulin is not without significance in 
explaining the kinship of the two families. Th2 Cichorioidex, a subfamily of 
the Composite, has articulated laticiferous vessels like those of the Campanu- 
lace. As to the relation between the Campanulaceze and the Cucurbitaces, 
there are many points worthy of mention. The typical epigynous pentamerous 
flowers, the frequent occurrence of the gamophyllous corolla, the tendency of 
the stamens to grow together and the calyx with narrow leaf-like lobes, and 
finally the haplostemonous andreeceum, all suggest the close affinity of the two 
families. 
282 Goodeniacee”: Very near the Campanulacee. Moreover, it re- 
sembles the Gentianacez, as is seen in a comparison of Velleia (Gooden.) 
with Limnanthemum (Gent.) 
283 Brunoniacew”: Near the Goodeniacee and Plumbaginaces. 
284 Stylidiacee® (=Candolleacex): Related to the Campanulacee. It 
is somewhat related to the Cucurbitacese in the staminal column with extrorse 
anthers”. 
285 Calyceracer’’: Near the Composite. 
286 Composite”: Related to the Campanulacez.
