and frequently on lefs fcientific difcrimina- 
tions. In the conduit of the work itfelf, 
Mori SON makes a feparate chapter for 
each genus. He begins by referring to the 
antients under each plant ; frequently fub- 
joining the etymology. The generical cha-- 
rafters, if indeed they can be fo called, are 
very vague; and though taken from the 
parts of frud:ification, are, too often, affifted 
by diftindtions from the root, leaves^ and 
mode of growth. After the generical note, 
follows a fynoptical table of the fpecies, re- 
ferring to the plates o The defcrip tions are 
fometimes borrowed from '^ohi Bauhine 
and others. To moft of the plants, he af- 
fixes new fpeciiic charafters, and fubjoins 
the fynonyma of feveral authors. He intro- 
duces, at the end of the chapters, the ani- 
madverfions on the Bauhines, and an ac- 
count of the virtues and ufes of the plants. 
The five firft claffes only, were publifhed 
by the author, w^ho left the four fucceeding 
ones finiflied. Thefe, v/ith the remaining 
clafles, were finifhed and publifhed, after 
m interval of nineteen years, by ^acob Bo^
