General divisions of Jussieu. 
The natural orders of Jussieu are arranged under three gen- 
eral divisions, according to distinctions observed in the seed ; 
viz. Acotyledonous, f Monucotyledonous f, and Dicotyledonous^ 
plants. 
The Acotyledonous plants correspond to the class Cryptogam- 
ia of the artificial system. 
MONOCOTYLEDONS. 
The Monocotyledonous plants are divided into three classes 
characterised by the insertion of the stamens; 1st has the 
stamens hypogynous ,or under the pistil ; as the grasses, &c. 
2d has the stamens perigynous , or around the pistil ; as the palms, 
&c. 3d has the stamens epigynous , or upon the pistil ; as the 
orchis, &c. 
DICOTYLEDONS. 
The Dicotyledonous plants are ten times more numerous than 
the two preceding divisions ; the different classes are here ar- 
ranged as in the other cases with reference to the absence of 
the corollafits presence, and the number of its petals. These 
plants are divided into four sections. 
* The preceding synopsis of artificial classes and orders, together with 
the natural orders of Linnaeus, are quoted from Eaton, by permission, 
t See these terms in the vocabulary.
