. A general system of botany, descriptive and analytical. In two parts. Part I. Outlines of organography, anatomy, and physiology. Part II. Descriptions and illustrations of the orders. By Emm.

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. Francoa, Transverse section of ovary (mag.)- Francoa. Seed, entire and cut vertically (mag.)- Francoa, Ovule (mag.). terminal racemes. Caltx 4-partite. Petals 4, rarely 5, inserted at the base of the calyx, clawed. Stamens inserted with the petals, 8 or 10 fertile alternating -with as many sterile; filaments distinct, subulate; anthers introrse, 2-ceUed, dehiscence longitudinal. Ovaet free, tetragonous, oblong, 4-lobed at the top, 4-celled; stigma sessile, with four lobes alternating with the cells; ovules numerous, 2-seriate at the central angle of the cells, horizontal, anatropous. Capsule loculi- cidal. Seeds numerous, tuberculate and striate, the axis of a fleshy albumen. Embryo straight, cylindric, in GENERA. Francoa. Tetilla, Francoacem are Chilian herbs, placed near Crasmlacece and Saxifrageai. They approach the latter ill the polypetaloua perigynoiis diplostemunous corolla, many-ovuled ovarian cells, anatropous ovules, capsular fruit, straight albuminous embryo, herbaceous stem, alternate leaves, and racemed flower; they are scarcely separated but by the contorted aestivation of the corolla, sterile stamens, sessile 4-lobed stigma, and dehiscence of the capsule. They approach Crassulucece in the perigynous and diplostemonous petals, the horizontal anatropous ovules, capsular fruit, herbaceous stem, and alternate leaves. They have also some connection with Lythrarieoi in the corolla, stamens and ovary; but the embryo
