Order Urticales. 
Trees, shrubs, or herbs; leaves alternate or opposite, stipulate. 
Flowers small, generally unisexual. Perianth simple, 4—6-partite, or of 
4-6 separate leaflets. Stamens usually as many as the divisions of the 
perianth. Ovary 1-celled, superior; ovule solitary, erect or pendulous. 
27. Moraceae. Mostly trees or shrubs, with milky juice. Flowers 
monoecious or dioecious, Perianth 3-4-iobed or -partite. Stamens inflexed 
or straight in the bud. Ovary usually superior, 1-celled; ovule solitary, 
pendulous. Fruit small, l-seeded, dry or rarely succulent. (p. 377.) 
28. Urticaceae. Herbs or small trees, without milky juice; leaves 
often armed with stinging hairs. Flowers monoecious, dioecious, or poly- 
gamous. Perianth 2—5-partite or of separate leaflets. Stamens inflexed in 
the bud. Ovary superior, 1-celled; ovule solitary, orthotropous. Fruit 
small, dry or fleshy, l-seeded. (p. 379.) 
Order Proteales. 
Trees or shrubs; leaves usually alternate. Flowers usually herma- 
phrodite, Perianth simple, 4-partite, segments valvate. Stamens 4, opposite 
to the perianth-segments and inserted upon them, Ovary I-celled; ovules 
solitary or 2 collateral, rarely more. Albumen wanting. 
29. Proteaceae. Characters as above. (p. 385.) 
Order Santalales. 
Herbs, shrubs, or small trees, often parasitic ; leaves alternate or 
opposite, entire, exstipulate, sometimes reduced to minute scales or 
altogether absent. Flowers hermaphrodite or unisexual, conspicuous or 
of small size. Perianth usualiy simple, 3-5-partite. Stamens equal in 
number to the divisions of the perianth and inserted upon them. Ovary 
inferior or superior, l-celled ; ovules usually devoid of integument. 
30. Santalaceae. Often parasitic or semiparasitic. Flowers small, 
greenish, solitary or in axillary or terminal cymes or spikes. Perianth 
superior or inferior, 3-6-lobed or -partite. Stamens inserted on the lobes. 
Ovary inferior or superior, I-celled; ovules 1—4, pendulous from the 
summit of a central placenta, Fruit a drupe or nut; seed solitary. (p. 387.) 
31. Loranthaeceae. Semiparasitic shrubs, usually on trees, very rarely 
terrestrial ; leaves usually opposite, sometimes wanting. Perianth sepa- 
loid or petaloid, 4-5-partite. Stamens as many as the perianth-leaflets 
and inserted upon them. Ovary 1-celled, inferior, the ovules not differen- 
tiated from the placenta. Fruit a berry. Seed solitary; its testa net 
distinguishable from the endosperm. (p. 389.) 
_32. Balanophoraceae. Root parasites with a deformed tuberous 
rhizome, and with no true stem nor leaves. Flowers dioecious or monoecious,
