CLASSIFICATION, 145 
4, Stylostemonis. - 
5. Cryptostemonis. 
The insertion of the stamina here form the classes : 
in the first class they stand on the receptacle ; 1m the 
second oa the corolla ; im the third on the calyx; in 
the fourth on the style; and to the fifth class be- 
long plants whose flowers are inconspicuous, as the 
Filices, Musci, Algee and Fungi. The orders are 
formed according to the number of the anthere ; 
that is, whether they are one or more in a single 
flower, viz. Monantherz, Dianthere, &c. But as 
there are so few classes, it is obvious that the orders 
must have many subdivisions; and this is the only 
objection to this, otherwise, very elegant system, which 
indeed stands in the way of its further usefulness. 
The same system has been lately somewhat changed 
by Monch. His classes are, 
1, Uhalamostemon. 
2. Petalostemon. 
3. Parapetalostemon, 7.¢. when the stamina 
stand upon leaves similar to petals, which 
are found in the corolla. 
4. Calycostemon. 
5. Allagostemon, when the stamina stand al- 
ternately on the calyx and petals. | 
6. Stylostemon, when they stand,on the style. 
7. Stigmatostemon, when they are inserted in 
the stigma. 
8. -Cryptostemon.
