" C’est ainsi qne sont foi mees les families tr^s naturelles et generalement avouees. On extrait de 
tons les genres qiii composent chacune d’elles les caracteres conimnns i tons, sans excepter ceux qui 
ii’appartiennent pas i la fructification, et la reunion de ces caracteres commons constitue celui de la 
famille. Plus les ressemblances sont nombreuses, plus les families sont naturelles, et par suite le 
caractere general est plus charge. En procedant ainsi, on parvient plus surement au but principal de 
la Science, qui est, non de nommer une plante, mais de connoitre sa nature et son organisation enti^re.”
