between thefe two there is fo clear a diftino 
tion in the form of their ftigmas as cannot 
be miftaken, that of the lonicera being 
headed, and that of the triofteum oblong* 
The more diffufe account of the genus mull 
ftill be inveffi gated. The number of lonicera 
is 233, w r hich refers to the fame in the fuller 
defcription of the genus : this defcription 
agrees with the character of the honey fuckle. 
Again : under the generic characters there are 
three divifions; thefe divifions are of the fpe- 
cies, which reduce under one head as many 
of the genera as agree in any one circum- 
fiance ; from which the fpecific character is 
formed. If the fpecimen examined have a 
twining ftem it muft then be referred to the 
firftdivifion; if the peduncles are two-flowered, 
to the fecond; if many-flowered, to the third* 
But the genera muft be well underftood be- 
fore any attempt is made to inveftigate the 
fpecies ; and when they are entered upon,, 
many obfervations may be found in the Ge- 
nera Plantarum, noted beneath the generic 
characters, which may be very ufeful in elu- 
cidating the fpecific diftincYions. There is 
another work of Linneus's, the Species Plan- 
tarum, which gives an account of the fpecies 
only,
