CLASS XIV. 
DID YNAM1A. . 
The plants of this class have four stamens, and the 
character depends on their unequal length ; two of 
them are long and two short, by which they are dis- 
tinguished from plants in the fourth class. The corol- 
la is irregular in its form. This class is divided into 
two orders ; the first, Gymnospermia, in which the seeds 
are naked ; and the second, A ngiospermia , in which the 
seeds are contained in a capsule.

Ajuga Reptans, Common Bugle. Gen. char.-^~

longer than the upper lip j plant smooth, with single 
stem, and creeping shoots. Common in woods and 
moist pastures.
