CHAP. I. 
Of the Place of Aggregate Plants in an artificial and a 
natural Method. 
I T will be neceflary to explain very diftindly the marks of this Clafs, 
and the conftru&ion of that head or ball of Flowers, which con- 
ftitutes its chara<5ter : not only to eflablifh with certainty its own 
proper form ; but to diftinguilh it precifely from the four Clafles with 
adembled Florets which have gone before, and that of the umbrella’ d 
or umbelliferous Plants which follows. Thofe four agree in one great 
character, of having many Florets collected together to form one 
Flower : The umbelliferous Clafs is diftinguifhed from them, by having 
each Flower, though little, perfed: and entire, and placed alone upon 
its feparate Footftalk.
