The vegetable system.

The imperfect are in four, viz. I . Submarinac, 2. Fungi, 3, Mufci, 
and 4. Capillares cum affinibus. 
Next to thefe come an inferior Clafs of Anomaly, without 
Flov/ers; under which are Ophiogloffum, Kali, Lens, Paluftris, with 
many of the like. 
He has fuch another which he calls Tetrapetahe Anomala?, after 
the Siliquofe, where we find an odd mixture of Papaver, Tithimalus, 
Plantago, Ruta, &c. and one after the Gramina : here are the Nym- 
phaea, Tribulus, Stratiotes, Hypecoum, Epimedium, Anona, Fu- 
maria, Piper, Thalidlrum, Acriviola, &c. Thefe were made up of 
Plants that would not range under his other Clafles and which he 
thought unconnected with the reft. Dillekius has formed a new 
Clafs out of fome of them, by the name of Di, and Tripelata^, in the 
Synopfis. 
Ray’s yth Clafs contains the Apetalae, all well, if we except Plan- 
tago and one or two more. 
The 6th, 7th, 8th, and 9th, take in the natural orders of the 
Compofit^, by the names of Planipetals, Le6tefcentes, Difcoid^ 
Semine Pappofo, Corymbiferae ; FI. Difcoide non Pappofs, and 
Capitatae. 
The loth, Semine Nudo Solitario, is mixed, though Valleri an 
and Limoni UM follow well the Globularia of the lad. But he puts 
Agrimony here, which has two Seeds. 
The I ith, Umbellifer^, thefe are kept perfedtly pure. 
The i 2th, StellatjE, thefe are mod naturallycombined, as well as. 
The 13th, the Afperifoliae. 
The 14th, Verticillat^ alfo are excellent. 
The 15th, Semine Nudo PolyspermvE, are the Ranunculus, 
Anemonies, 8cc. very good ; fo are 
The 16th, P0MIFER.E, the Melons, See. Thefe alfo are followed 
well by 
The 17th, which has many of the Bacciferae, as Bryonia, Smilax, 
Mandragora, Solanum, &c. though I mud own there are fcveral others 
improperly placed there; as Vitis Idcca, Convallaria, Chridapboriana&c. 
The iSth, the Mutifiliquae, are all well if we cccepr the Apocy- 
num, Afclepias, and Vinca; but this Clafs would more naturally 
have followed his fifteenth.
