If to these circum-stances we add the presence of a mmute embryo with scarcely any cotyledons (whichaccording to Endhcher is the sti-ucture), Stilbids can hardly be associated with any ofthe Orders hitherto suggested. To me they appear far more truly allied with the littleOrder of Diapensiads, of which they seem to be an unsyrametrical form, rheir occa-sional tendency to polygamy m the original species of Campylostachys would be very Fig. CCCCXI.—Stilbe Pinastra. 1. a flower; 2. the same cut open ; .?. a perpendicular section of Fig. CCCCXI. 608 STILBACE^.
