The affinity with Ruhiace<e is much more obvious; it is founded on the epigynous isostemonous corolla the several-celled ovary, the axile embryo in a thick fleshy albumen, the opposite leaves and knotty stem. Almost the only difference is in the imbricate corolla and the absence of stipules. The sub-order of SamhtKCCB is closely allied to Cornece, which only differ in the many petals, valvate in bud. The same affinity may be noticed with Araliacece and TJnibellifa-cB; but these, besides the polypetalous and valvate corolla, differ from Cap-ifoliaeem in the alternate leaves and the umbelled or capitate inflorescence. An analogy has also been pointed out between the Hydrangea (of Saxifragece) and Viburnecs. Caprifoliace(s inhabit the temperate regions of the northern hemisphere, especially central Asia, the north of India, and of America. A small number [many Viburnums] inhabit the intertropical zone pre- ferring the mountains, where the temperature is colder. The Elder, a cosmopolitan genus, is represented by a very few species in the southern hemisphere. \
