ANALYSIS APPLIED TO THE NATURAL ORDERS. 301 
Second Anal^/sis.—The PoPPY Tribe. 
1 Flowers visible. 
2 Leaves net-veined, 
3 Flowers complete. 
4 Corolla polypetalous. 
5 Stamens more than 20. 
6 Ovary superior ; this takes US to 
14 Leaves without stipules. 
21 Carpels consolidated in one ovary. 
25 Fruit one-celled. 
26 Ovary sessile; sap milky. "We have now arrived at the end of our botanical 
journey ; we find our plant belongs to the Natural Order Papavekace^, and are 
directed to section 409, page 250, for farther information. 
Third Analysis.— Ua-svncvlas or Crowfoot tribe. This plant belongs

21 Carpels more or less distinct. 
22 Stamens hypogynous. 
23 Calyx a perfect whorl. 
24 Acrid, nauseous herbs. RanuNCALACEjB.
