A very small order, formerly comprised in Tili^cea?. It is remarkable on account of the structure of its 

 fVuit, to the inner lining of which the scctis are attached upon a branched placenta. Nothing is known of tlie 

 properties of the Flacourtias. The berries of Flacourtia Ramontchi are eaten in Madagascar. ITie order 

 consists entirely of small tropical trees or bushes. Cuttings..

The plants of this order are few in number, and not remarkable either for beauty or use. TTie Rua OrelUtna 

 is chiefly known for producing the seed called in the shops Arnotta ^Rocun,' Vt.) and used for coloring 

 cheese ; the projMjrties of the «\motta are slightly purgative and stomachic. They are all bushes or small 

 trees, and mostly tropical Azaras, Chilian shrubs with fragrant flowers, are not yet known in the gardens of

TTie common rock roses of our gardens give an accurate idea of this order, which contains little else. They 

 are all very ornamental, and particularly well calculated for covering rockwork. Ihey are natives of most 

 parts of the world in dry elevated places. The gum called Ladanum is the prwiuce of'some kinds of dstus ; 

 It exhales a fragrant perfume when burnt, and possesses slightly tonic and stouiachic properties. Cuttings or

This is one of the most favorite orders with gardeners ; consisting, as it chiefly does, of the Violet genus, 

 irom which most of the others are recent dismemberments. The greater part are hardy herbaceous plants, 

 some of which are remarkable for their perfume, others for their brilliant colours, and all for their neatness. 

 They are natives of the temperate or cold rone? of both hemispheres, often growing at great elevations above 

 the sea. Among them is a tribe called Alsodineae, consisting of suffrutescent tropical plants ; but none of them 

 ^ave been introduced into the gardens of this country. The attention of collectors should be directed tc pro- 

 furingthe shrubby Violaceje of Brazil, some of which possess great interest The medical properties of the 

 order are found principally in their roots, which appear to possess, in all cases, emetic properties, in a greater 

 or less degree One of the Ipecacuanhas is the root of a Brazilian violet. M. DecandoUe has the following 

 observations upon the affinities of the Violaridae : — They are very nearly akin, he observes, to the PolygideJB 

 and Droser^e®, and especially to the Passifloreas, From the first they are distinguished by their unilocular 

 fruit, leave* furnished with stipules, and two-celled anthers ; from Droseracere by their soliUry style, lengih-
