Daphne, t. 1381, of which last the Levant possesses many charming species. Acer, the Maple, is removed hither in Fl. Brit. from the 23d class.
2. Digynia has a few plants, but little known; among them are Galenia africana, and Moehringia muscosa.
3. Trigynia. Polygonum, t. 436, 509, 941, is a genus whose species differ in the number of their stamens and styles, and yet none can be more natural. Here therefore the Linnæan system claims our indulgence. Paullinia and Cardiospermum are more constant.
4. Tetragynia. Here we find the curious Paris, t. 7, and Adoxa, t. 453. Of the former I have lately received a new species, gathered by my liberal friend Buchanan among the mountains of Nepal.
Class 9. Enneandria. Stamens 9. Orders 3.
1. Monogynia. Of this the precious genus Laurus, including the Cinnamon, Bay, Sassafras, Camphor, and many other noble plants, is an example.
