BERBERIDES, in Botany, the 78th natural order of 

 JufTieu's fyftcm ; the l8th of his 13th clafs: for "whofe 

 chara£ters, fee Gerania. This order is defined as follow-s. 



Calyx of a determinate number of leaves, or deep feg- 

 ments. Petals definite alfo, agreeing in number with the 

 divifions of the calyx, and often oppofite to them ; fome- 

 times fimple ; fometimes charged at the bafe with an inner 

 petal. Stamens definite, as many as the petals, and oppofite 

 to them ; anthers fixed, burfting by a valve from the bafe 

 upwards. Germen fimple ; ftyle folitary or wanting ; 

 Jligma often fimple. Berry or capfule of one cell, often 

 with feveral feeds, inferted into its bafe. Corculum defcend- 

 ing, flat, furrounded by a flefliy aloumen. Stem either 

 fhrubby or herbaceous. Leaves generally alternate, with 

 jiipulas, or more frequently without, fimple or compound. 



The genera are, Berberis, Leonilce, Ephnedium ; with 

 Rinorea and Conoria, two flirubs in Aublet's work, little 

 known. To thefe are fubjoined the following, as related 

 to the order in q-jeft;ion, vi-z.. Rlana of Aublet ; Coryno- 

 carpus of Forfterj and Linn. Suppl. ; Poraqueiba of Aublet, 

 iVhich is Barreria of Schrebcr's Gen. 598 ; Hamamelis of 

 Linnaeus ; Othera of Thunberg ; and Rapanea of Aublet. 

 Thefe genera, fays Juffieu, are in fome of their charaflcrs 

 akin, in others foreign, to the Berberides.
