We learn from the same accurate observer of naturalaffinities, that this subdivision forms a truly natural group,with perhaps the exception of one m* two genera; butwhich if even these were excluded is hardly to be technicallydefined: though easily distinguished by the economy of theanthers and tlie stigma from the Asclkpiai>k^, which arebesides more uniform in the structure of the flower andfruit.
