two. 
Order I. Gymnospermia. 3 Germen or fruit deeply i-Iobed , or ap- 
parently of 4 naked seeds. Style from between the lobes.

Ord. II. Angiospermia. 4 Germen entire, or slightly 2-lobed, con- 
taining several seeds, with a terminal style. 
2. Verbena. Germen superior, 4 -celled, with 1 seed at the base 
of each cell. Fruit splitting into 4 achenes. 5 p. 340. 
3. Linn-ea. Germen inferior, 3-celled ; 2 of the cells with many 
abortive seeds, one with a perfect seed. Berry dry, 1 -seeded,

Seeds attached to parietal receptacles. — Leafless plants, 
p. 299. 
5. SCROPHULARIACEiE. Germen and caps, superior, 2- (or 
rarely 1-) celled. Seeds several, attached to the axis. — Leafy 
plants, p. 303. 
1 We retain Stratiotes in the Class Po/yandria , solely because it has been placed 
there by Linnaeus, Smith, and some others; but the inferior germen shows its 
place to be in Icosandria: there are, however, seldom more than 12 stamens with 
anthers, so that it ought rather to be looked for in Dodecandria . and from its being 
almost always dioecious, Richard long ago removed it to Dicecia Dodecandria. 
2 From Sts, two , and Svvoc/jus, a power , or superiority of two stamens over the 
other two. 
3 From yufAvos, naked, and trm^wu., the seed. 
4 From ccyyuov, a vessel or capsule , and the seed. 
5 This genus is placed by Smith and others m the order Gymnospermia. It is 
sometimes described as having the seeds inclosed in one thin membranous evanes- 
cent pellicle or capsule ; but although we have not seen such, the terminal style 
appears to iudicate the order Angiospermia.
