The vegetable SYSTEM. 
The 19th Vaculifer^ would have done better next the Baccl- 
ferae, if we regard the firfl order of Hyosciamus, Nicotiana, See. 
hut if the two laft which contain our Ringentes, Vafculiferae, 5 cc. it 
had been better joined to the Verticiilatoe. ‘There are in tills Clafs' 
feveral natural orders,, though not connected with one another. In- 
one of them he has oddly placed the Mallows, and joins with theni^ 
the Oxalis, which is certainly related to them, but I cannot fay lo 
much of the Greek Valerian. He puts the Polygala w'ith the Rin- 
gentes, though it is properly one of the Leguminofaej and the Ariflo- 
iochia that is a Plant fui Generis. 
' I'me orders arc all taken from the fliape or figure of the Flower. 
The 2oth, the Tetrapetalae Siliquolie and Siliculofae are extremely 
well, and perfeiStly chafle. 
The 2 1 ft, the Leguminofas are the fame. 
The 2 2d, the Pentapetal.e Vafeuliferae are moftly well ; containing 
the Caryophiliacei, the Alfines, Hypericums, Saxifragas, Geraniums, 
See. The laft order has no bufinefs here ; containing Viola Refeda 
and Impatiens. Di leenius has formed another Clafs here of fome 
of the Anomala? ; as Lythrum, Nymphaea, Peplis, calling them 
Polypetalae. 
The 23d, holds the Bulbofoe and Affines, all perfedtly well: the 
Aftinesarethe Orchida’OD and ieveralof thofe Plants which will befound 
under the term Spathacei in our fiicceeding, natural method ; only 
Cyclamen Teems improper among them. 
d'HE 24th, are the (iramina. 
I cannot commend his Claftes of Trees. 
The 2^th, Arundinaceae or Palmar. 
The 26th, ApetaH, where he has mixed the Rufeus and Empe- 
irum with otherwife a good Clafs of the Amentacei. 
The 28th, Fkuctu Umblicato, and non Umblicato. The Plants 
in thefe two Claftes are greatly (and fome terribly) feparated ; the Pyrus, 
Mefpilus, Rofa, Ribes, See. are placed together in one,, though they 
differ greatly j Prunus Cerafus, Padus, in the other. 
The 29th, Arbores Frudtu Sicco has only the Acer and Fraxinus 
in the firft order; the laft are extremely mixed. 
The 3.0th, SiLiQuosyE Teem well; he keeps by themfelves th-er 
Caftia, Tamarindus, See. that have not a papilonaceous Flower 
The 31ft is referved for the Ficus,
