He has placed all the fpecies of the Fu- 
inaria genus together, in the Papilionaceoiis 
clafs 'y and, agreeably to the hint which 
DiLLENius gives mxh^ Synopfis, p. 316, 
has referred the Plantains^ and Sponges^ to 
the Monopetaloiis flowers fucceeded by dry 
feed veffels. The removal of the Lyfima- 
chi(^ Jiliquofce^ the two Papavera corniculatay 
t\\tChelido72iumy and tht Balfamme, to the&*-. 
liqiiofe or Tetradynamous clafs of Linnaeus, 
is lefs to be approved. By thefe changes, 
he has nearly annihilated Ray's twenty- 
fecond clafs of Britijlo herbs. In tranf- 
pofing of fpecies, he has made more nume- 
rous alterations ^ fome of which are fufS- 
clently juflified by modern improvements. 
Thus he has brought under one genus the 
Scordium and S^corodonia, He has referred 
the Paphamis riijiicaniis to the Cochlearia 
genus, as Tournefort had done. The 
Chelidoynum genus is feparated from the 
Papaver^ and a new charaderiflic note 
framed, but the name Pap aver cornkidatum 
. . . preferved.
