The defect of this system, as of all the old sys- 
tems, consists in the various foundations of the di- 
vision, and in separating trees and plants. By Suf- 
frutices, Morison means small shrubs, but not ac- 
cording to our definition, (§ 122) “Even some mo- 
derns use the term suffruice for a small shrub.” ‘The 
fourth class contains all twining plants, as the Cu- 
curpita, Convolvulus, &¢. The seventh «lass: in- 
cludes plants which have a trilocular capsule. In 
the eighth class are plants that have sometimes more, 
sometimes fewer cells in the capsules. ‘Whe ninth 
class contais the compound flowers that Rave no 
pappus, or at least only a membranaceous one. “In 
the tenth class are all the ‘compound flowers that 
have a plumose, pilose, setaceous, &c. pappus. ‘To 
the eleventh class belong all the grasses and ‘plants 
allied te them; to the tweltth, the umbelliverous 
plants; to the thirteenth, those which have a trilo- 
cular capsule, and which seem to consist of three 
separate capsules, (§ 102, No. 3). ‘The fourteenth 
class contains the ringent ‘or labiated flowers; the 
seventechth contains only the Filices; and the 
eighteenth includes the Mosses, Algae, Fungi and 
Corals. It is to be’ regretted that Morison often 
arranges plants in ‘a _ Class to which they do not 
belong.
