8th, The Caryophyllacei ; this is very fliort, and joins to the 
Lychnis’s, Linum, and Statice. 
9th, Lilleacei ; this Clafs is very good : I think the Monope- 
tali ani'wer better to his Campaniformes, though he did right in 
keeping them with their companions. 
loth. Papilionaceous, very pure. 
iith. Polypetal I Anomali ; this is extreamly mixed: it be- 
gins with Viola, Balfamine, andFumaria: then follow ten or twelve 
of the Multifiliquae, to which he adds Polygala ; and the laft order 
takes in the Orchidea, ending with the Mufa. 
1 2th, 13th, 14th, The three ClalTes of the Compofiti, Flofculoli; 
and Semiflofculofi are very natural ; though perhaps thefe divifions 
do not always hold good. 
15th, Apetali ; in the middle of the common apetalous Plants 
he places the Gramina.

they have no other connexion than in the titles of the dalles. 
PoNTEDERus and fome others followed ; who joined Tourne- 
fort and Rivinus. 
Boerhaave, in 1720, publiflied a Syftem, in which, tho’ moft- 
I7 founded on Herman’s method of the Fruit, yet he follows 
Tournefort and Ray in many other things ; fo that is confider-
