The south of Europe and the north of Africa are the great stations of the Order,where the species grow in the most barren places, covering with a thick vegetation soilwhich is incapable of bearing anything else. A few are found at the Cape of GoodHope ; and North America, including Mexico, comprehends several. A trace of astrmgency pervades the Order, and is the only sensible property that it isknown to possess. Fig. CCCXLII. Corrigiola, Linn. Polygonifolia, , , Gdrtn. , DC. Biioncea, M09. et , Bartl.
