Order XC. CAMPANULACE^. 
These differ from the last in not having the flowers in heads, in their usually distinct antherae, which are» 
however, syngenesious in Lobelia, in their polyspennous fruit, and also in exuding a milky juice. All the 
genera are pretty, and some highly ornamental. They are mostly herbaceous, and by far the greater number 
are extra-tropical, abounding especially in the woods and coppices of the North. The roots of Campanula 
Rapunculus are used as a vegetable under the name of Rampion. The juice of some of the Lobelias is highly 
caustic and inflammatory; when taken internally, producing vomiting and even death : nevertheless, the root 
of Lobelia siphilitica, in small doses, acts as a diaphoretic, in greater quantity as diuretic or purgative, and, if 
taken in considerable quantities, as an emetic. An infusion of Lobelia inflata is used in North America as a 
remedy for leucorrhoea ; and the root of Lobelia cardinalis is employed in the same country as a vermifuge.

Order XCL GOODENOVliE. 
New Holland and South Sea herbs or undershrubs, very nearly akin to the last, from which they differ 
more in artificial characters than in habit. All of them are pretty, and deserving culture. .Nothing is known 
of their properties.

Order XCn. STYLIDE^. 
Like the last, the properties of this very small but curious order are, if any, undiscovered. All are inhabit, 
ants of New Holland, and either herbs or half-herbaceous shrubs. They have pink flowers, ornamented with 
glittering glands; their stamens are united into a column, which is terminated by a sessile stigma, and 
which is irritable in so high a degree, that, if touched with a pin, it histantly starts from its place with great 
elasticity. 
1932 Stylidium R. Br. 
Order XCIIL GESNERIE^. 
Fine tropical herbs, with broad, fleshy, downy leaves, and purple or scarlet flowers. They all require stove 
heat, and decayed vegetable soil ; in their native country, which is chiefly equinoctial America, they are 
found growing in the woods, where the earth is little more than a bed of rotten leaves and bark.

Order XCIV. ERICEiE. 
These are distinguished from the neighbouring orders by their polyspermous fruit, aristate anthers, and dry 
.shrubby habit. Every genus is eminently beautiful, and worthy of the most assiduous cultivation. The first 
tribe is a native of hill-sides and open plains, chiefly of the extra-trupical regions of the earth. Some are 
famous for their beauty, some for their fragrance, and many for their foliage. The heaths are the glory 
of the Cape, the Arbutuses of Europe, the Andromedas of America, and Clethra of the Canaries. The second 
tribe is distinguished from the rest by its inferior berry, and is not less valuable for its fruit than conspicuous 
for its beauty. The species are principally North American. Monotropese stand in their systematic station as 
they grow in their native woods, lowly herbs among thickets of bushes and trees. Rhodoraceje, once con- 
sidered a distinct order, are chiefly North American ; their flowers are less tubular than those of true Ericeae ; 
but their habit is not materially different ; here the Azalea the Kalmia, and the Rhododendron, the pride of 
European gardens, as they are of their native woods, find their station. The utility of the fruit of Vaccinium 
is well known ; its bark is reckoned tonic, stimulant, and astringent, and their fruit slightly styptic. The 
berries of A'rbutus uva-ursi are considered lithontriptic ; its leaves have also been employed successfully in 
infusions in obstinate cases of gonorrhoea. Extract of Chimaphila umbellata, in the form of pills, in doses of 
five scru!)les a day, has been found successful in cases of dropsy. Some of the species are possessed of narcotic 
qualities; this is the case with Ledum, Rhododendron chrysanthum, and especially Azalea puntica ; honey 
obtained from the juice of which is said by Xenophon, to have caused the death of many soldiers in the f imous 
retreat of the ten thousand. An infusion of Rhododendron maximum is used in America in cases of chronic 
rheumatism, and that of Rhododendron ponticum in Asia, against gout and rheumatism.

Subclass III. COROLLIFLORiE. 
Petals cohering in the form of a hypogynous corolla, which is not attached to the calyx. 
To this subclass are to be referred all genera which have a monopetalous corolla, with the stamens in.serted 
into it, and a superior ovarium. 
Order XCV. MYRSINE^. 
Showy shrubs, with evergreen undivided leaves, and cymes of white or red flowers. Theophrasta is a very 
rare stove plant, with a simple stem, and undulated spiny toothed leaves. The Ardisias are common in col- 
lections. None are natives of Europe, but are found in the hot parts of Asia, Africa, and America. Nothing 
is known of their properties.
