The orders arranged after the method followed in the universities and schools of Great Britain, its colonies, America, and India; with additions, an appendix on the natural method, and a synopsis of the orders, by Hooker. Botany. Seed, entire and cut (mag.). Empetrum, Fruit, entire and cub vertically (mag.). seeded pyrenes. Seeds triangular, erect; testa membranous; albumen fleshy, dense. Embryo straight, axile, cylindrio; cotyledons short, obtuse; raddcle near the hilum, inferior. GENERA. Empetrum, Corema. Ceratiola. The little family of Empetrece approaches CelastnnetB, IlicinecSj and especially Ericinece properly so called. It has the habit of the latter, their marcescent hypogynous corolla, several-celled ovary with anatropous ovules, albuminous seed and straight embryo, and it also recalls the tribe of Mhodoracetie by the structure of the stigma ; but EncinecB are gamopetalous and gamosepalous, their flower is perfect, and their fruit is a capsule or berry. The affinity with IlicinecB ie not doubtful j i^ both families we find.
