Class XIII. Dicatyledones, with several petals, stamens inserted under the ger men.

Iinstace,e, Tribulus, Zygophyllum, Ro ta Dictamnus, and others ; many new ge nera of this order have been discovered in New Holland : see Tracts relating to Natural History, by Dr. Smith, who con , alders Oxalis as belonging here; 82, Caryoplaylece, the Pink and Campion tribe, which is very natural, as Spergula, Are naria, Dianthus, Silene, &c.
Class XIV. hgcotyledones, with several petals, stamens insertedinto the calyx or corolla.
Orders thirteen, 83. Sempervite, a suc culent tribe, Cotyledon, Sedum, Semper vivum ; 84. Saocifragce, Saxifrage,. Chry sosplenium, &c. among which Hydrangea must surely rather belong to the Caprifo lie; 85. Cacti, consists of Ribes and Cactes, a paradoxical association ; 86.

Legulninosa., a still more extensive or der than the preceding, in which the system under our consideration, as keep ing so natural all order entire, has much the advantage of the Linn can artificial system, which being founded only on the stamens, unavoidably disunites it. To this are referred, Mimosa, Tamarindus, Cas sia, Poinciana, Bauhinia, Sophora,Genis ta, Lupinus, Trifolium, Phaseolus, As tragalus, Vicia, Hedysarum, Pterocarpus, and many other genera related to each of the above ; 94.
