The names of the Natural Orders ending in ac ka; are chiefly derived from Generic Names, us 
Campanulaceas from Campanula ; such as end in m only are not , as Composite, compound 
flowers ; Crtjcife w/k, cross-shaped-, Labiat jv., lip-flowered, SfG. 
The Natural Orders, for reference to which the numbers 63/o l6l afford great facility, will prove 
of essential service to the Amateur in forming, by comparison , an opinion of any plant in this 
Catalogue which is unknown to him ; for instance , Anugallis, Cyclamen, Dodecathevn , Primula 
sinensis, and Auricula belong to the same Natural Order, Prim ulacew, No. 134; .consequently 
should he not know Dodecathcon, the knowledge of one or more of the others would greatly assist 
him in forming an opinion of it. In making comparisons, the height of the plant should how - 
ever be considered. The Aster and the Daisy, for example, belong to the same Natural Order 84, 
but at first sight there does not appear to be much resemblance between them , the differei\ce in the 
magnitude of the flowers and height of the plants being so very great.
