to l ie first ten classes, in the same manner as you have done with 
the Pink j as all these classep -^^nend upon the number of stamens. 
Auiitysis of th e Lily. 
In analyzing the Lily, yoa can refer to Figures 1st, 2d, and 3d ; 
— you will find this flower belonging to the 6th class, the name of 
which is Hexandria ; and to the 1st order, Monogynia. (In the de- 
scription of Genera, see Class 6th, Order 1st.) This order, containing 
many genera, is divided into several sections. 
1st Section contains flowers, ' with a calyx and corolla? 
The Lily has no calyx, therefore you will not find it in this section, 
2d Section. ' Flowers issuing from a spatha.^ 
The Lily has no spatha ' or sheath at its base,' therefore it is not 
in this section. 
3d Section. ' Mowers with a single^ corolla-like perianth,'' 
The Lily has such a corolla-like envelope, therefore you may ex- 
pect to find it described under this section. You can proceed, as in 
the Pink, to compare each genus with your flower, till you find one 
which corresponds with the Lily. 
' Hemerocallis. ' Corolla six parted. This shows that the corolla 
is all of one piece, with six divisions in the border. The Lily has 
six petals, therefore you need look no farther in this genus. 
LiLiuM.' Now compare each particular in this description with 
your flower, (looking out the terms in the vocabulary,) and you will 
find an agreement in every respect. 
In the description of a genus, nothing is usually said about any 
part of the plant, except the different organs of the flower ; in the 
species, the distinctions are chiefly drawn from different circum- 
stances of the leaves^ sterns^ ^c. 
The flowers of two plants may agree in the organs of fructifica- 
tion, while the leaves, stalks, and branches, are very unlike ; in this 
case, the plants are considered as belonging to different species of 
the same genus. 
Thus, the shape of the leaves, the manner in which they grow on 
the stem, its height, with the number of flowers growing upon it, the 
manner in which they grow, whether erect or nodding, these, and 
other circumstances, distinguish the different species. The colour, a 
quality of the flower usually the most striking, is, in botany, little re- 
garded ; while many other particulars, which might at first have 
been scarcely noticed, except by botanists, are considered as im- 
portant. 
In the 11th class, Tcosandria, and the 12th class, Polyandria, we are 
to remark, not only the number of stamens which is always more 
than ten ; but the manner in which they are inserted^ or the part of the 
flower on which they are situated. If, in pulling off the corolla, the 
, stamens remain upon the calyx, the plant belongs to the 11th class; 
but if the corolla and calyx may be both removed, and the stamens 
still remain on the receptacle, the plant is of the 12th class. 
It is said that no poisonous plant has the stamens growing on the 
^ calyx ; it is in the 11th class that we find many of our most delicious 
fr lits, as the Apple, Pear, &c. 
Analysis of the Rose. 
The rose, on account of its beauty, is one of the most conspicuous 
flowers in the 11th class ; it is considered as one of the most inter-
