PART II.— ARTIFICIAL KEY. 
The key for the most part explains itself, but it may be as well to state 
explicitly what the writer means by certain terms. Under the term 
‘ axillary ' the writer includes even capitula-like clusters, so long as they 
are in the axils of unmodified leaves, whether confined to the apical 
portion of the stem and branches or not Thus Polygonum delicatulum 
has capitula-like clusters, but they are distinctly in the axils of unmodi- 
fied leaves, and consequently are classed as axillary. Under the term 
‘ head ’ the writer includes alb more or less globose clusters — whether 
they are ‘capitula’ in the rigid botanical sense or not — which are not in 
the axils of unmodified leaves, but which may be in the axils of
