The vegetable SYSTEM.

chara<n:er I am not fond of.o Then the Meioflemones dtploftemones, 
and Polyflemones-: thefoall contain the Apetalse of Authors, with 
many Trees and feveral of the old' Bacciferae. •' 
In the next order are the Aquaticae, placed well before the Gramina, 
that ought to have formed a Clafs by theml'elve^. 'The laft order is 
the Graminibus adfines, as the Carex, Juncus, Typha, ending with 
Arum. The 
4th, Petalodey^: Monocotyledones ; the firlf great order com- 
prehends the Orchideae ; the next the Liliaceae. Then follows the 
fecond great divifion of the Petalodea:, the Dicotyledones, beginning, 
5th, With the Polystemones. 
This Clafs is divided into Multifiiiqune, Gym.nopolyfpermae, Cali- 
canthemi, PomifepcE, Multiloculares, and Malvae. All here are put 
well together, though with many Exceptions. The Multifiliquae in 
particular have all our Pilcati. Numbers of them, however, do not 
I'uit the claffical charadler : but Haller freely prefers Nature to the 
arbitrary laws of his own Syhem. 
6th, Diplostemones isjoined to the left extremely well, by Oxys 
und Geranium, which begin the Clafs, followed by the Lychnis’s 
Alfines, and Bicornes ; though betwixt thefe two there are Agri- 
monia, Epilobium, Ruta, &c. much better elfe where. He ends 
this with Acer, wmich has no connefticn with the red, tho’ it joins 
well to Staphyllodendron, the fird; Plant of the 
yth Class, Isostemones ; w'hich Clafs is divided into, i. Coro- 
natae, where we fee Staphyllodendron, Euonymus, and Berberis, 
placed before the Umbelliferas ; to thefe are more properly added the 
Circasa, the Tetrapetaloides or Stellatse, and the Quinquifidie ; as Opu- 
lus. Viburnum, &c. 
The fecond great order are Flore circa Frudtum Pofito ; compre- 
hending the Primulae, Campanulte, Solanaceae, Alperifolia, and our 
Bifolliculares ; as in Royek’s Oligantherce, but digeded in a much 
more enatural manner. t 
8th, Meiostemones ,• there are only two Plants put under this 
title, Ligudrum and Veronica, I am iurprifed he chofe to feparate 
them from the Ifodemones, though they have fewer Chives than 
Petal-fegments.
