CjESALpinus divides Plants into Trees or Shrubs, and Herbs with 
Under-Shrubs. Trees form two Claffes, one whofe Seed has the 
eye on the top, the other on the bottom. The orders are taken moftly 
from the Fruit, or its fituatlon with regard to the Flower; that is, 
either under it, or furrounded by it. 
Hrs firil: Clafs of Herbs with fingle Seeds, takes in mod: of the 
Apetalce of the Moderns, to which he has added Grapes ; the next 
the Bac-ciferae, to which he adds the Melon Tribes ; the third has 
thofe with fingle Seed-Vedels. The fird: order holds the Leguminous, 
the lad: the Lychnis, Aldne, and Primula Familys ; with others that 
do not belong to them. The fourth clafs is confined to the Umbel- 
liferae : the fifth with two Seed-Vedels, is made up of different Plants; 
though the lad: order with feveral Seed^ comprehends mod: of the 
SiliquofsE. The fixth Clafs with three Seeds or Seed-Veffels is ex- 
tremely mixed. Of the feventh are the bulbous, to which he has 
added many of the dieathed Plants. The eighth has thofe with four 
naked Seeds. The firft order, whofe Seed-eye is on the top, con- 
tains the rough-leaved Plants ; the fecond with the eye at the 
bottom, the Ringentes. The ninth and tenth Clades take in the 
compound Plants : the eleventh has thofe with feveral naked Seeds, 
and is compofed of the Ranunculus, Anemone, and mod: of the 
Plants which the Moderns have put under that Clafs ; to which he 
has added fome of the Mallows. The twelfth with feveral Seed- 
Vedels is the Multifiliquas of the Moderns, and many of them have 
followed him in adding to this Clafs, Plants with fingle Seed-Veffels 
and feveral Cells. The thirteenth and lad: is compofed of the Ferns, 
Mulhrooms, and Modes. 
Morison’s Sydem is difpofed into eighteen Claffes. 
The four fird: are Trees, Shrubs, Under-Shrubs, and Climbers ; 
to which lad: he adds the Melon Family. All the orders are taken 
from the Fruit. 
The fifth Is the Leguminous: the orders are from their habit of 
climbing or not climbing ; and the three-leaved, with what he calls 
their relations, as Strawberry, Tormentil, &c.
