BOTANY. 
contains several water plants, as Hippuris, 
Myriophyllum, Potamogeton, Lemma, & c. 
Along with which Jussieu reckons several 
genera of the structure of whose seed, and 
consequently of the primary character of 
whose class he was uncertain. 
ClasslI. Monocotyledons with the stamens 
inserted beneath the germen, orinLinnsean 
language, having the germen superior. 
The orders are four, 7. Aroidece; as Arum, 
&c. 8. Typhce, consisting of Typhaand Spar- 
ganiurn; 9. Cyperoidecc, as Carex, Scirpus, 
Cyperus, &c. and 10. Grammes;, tiie true 
grasses. 
Class III. Monocotyledones with the sta- 
mens inserted round the pistil, this is upon 
the calyx or corolla.

which we have spoken at the end of the 
Linnoean system ; IS. Asparagi, Asparagus, 
Convallaria, &e. ; 13. Janci, Juncus, &c. 
to which are added Comrnelina, Butomus, 
Sagittaria, Veratium, and even Colchicum.

Ferraria, Iris, Ixia, Gladiolus, Crocus ex- 
emplify this order. 
Class IV. Monocotyledones with the sta- 
mens inserted upon the germen or style, 
that is, having the germen inferior. 
Tiie orders are four, 19. Muses, includ- 
ing the Plantain-tree and Heliconia; SO. 
Cannes, which are the Scitamineae of Lin- 
naeus and other writers, and which have

coe, in the 8th volume of the Linnaean So- 
ciety’s Transactions ; 21. OrcliidecE, a beau- 
tiful and favourite tribe; 22. Hydrocharides, 
a rather obscure order, under which Jussieu 
enumerates Vallisneria, Stratiotes, Hydro- 
charis, and some others which are very 
doubtful, or rather certainly misplaced here. 
Class V, Dicotyledones without petals, 
stamens as in the last class. 
Order only one, 23 Aristolochia;, consist- 
ing of Aristolochia, Asaruin, and Cytinus,
