1707. Third order, _C. axonales._ Mostly shrubs and trees with irregular corollæ and bilocular ovarium--_Polygalaceæ_, _Vochysieæ_, _Pittosporeæ_. 1708. Fourth order, _C. florales._ Trees with a woody or berry-like ovarium, having several cells--_Cedreleæ_, _Melieæ_, _Aurantiaceæ_. 1709. Fifth order, _C. fructuariæ._ Trees; flowers quinary, ovarium mostly ternary, becoming a winged or fleshy fruit. (Their sixteen families probably pursue the order indicated at Tab. B.) _CLASS XII._ _Corolla-plants._ 1710. Corollæ stipaceous, having free stamina; ovaria with stunted septa, and numerous marginal seeds--_Carnations_, _Violets_, _Cistaceæ_, _Siliquosæ_, _Papaveraceæ_, _Guttiferæ_. 1711. The stalk passes through all the stages of formation, from the nodose herb unto the shrub and tree. The leaves occur likewise under all forms, modes, division, and arrangement. The plants of this class are found in all climates, and yield etherial or volatile and fatty oil with resins. They divide first of all into quinary and quaternary; the former being mostly herbs with a hollow capsule; the latter herbs, shrubs, and trees, with siliquæ or berries. 1712. Their strength or virtue resides in the flower, which, is therefore of large size, beautifully coloured, sweet-scented, is frequently appreciated and adopted as an ornament. On the contrary, the ovarium and seed are stunted. The former is a siliqua or hollow capsule, which therefore supports the numerous smaller seeds on the septum. 1713. First order, _Corollariæ parenchymatosæ_. Nodose herbs with spathose leaves, quinary corollæ, and ten stamina; many seeds upon a columellar or median placenta situated within a hollow capsule--_Portulaceæ_, _Carnations_. 1714. Second order, _C. vaginatæ_. Herbs, shrubs, and trees, with similar but mostly multi-staminal corollæ, and seeds on the capsular septa--Droseraceæ, _Hypericineæ_, _Violaceæ_, _Cistaceæ_, and _Bixeæ_. 1715. Third order, _C. axonales_. Herbs with quaternary corollæ and a siliqua--_Siliquosæ_. 1716. Fourth order, _C. florales_. Bushes and shrubs with quaternary corollæ and numerous stamina; ovarium a siliqua or multi-valvular hollow capsule--_Capparidæ_, _Berberideæ_, _Papaveraceæ_. 1717. Fifth order, _C. fructuariæ_. Trees with quaternary and quinary corollæ, numerous stamina, and a fruit--_Guttiferæ_. They divide into the usual sixteen families. (Vid. Tab. B.) THIRD CIRCLE. _Fruit-plants--Apetalæ, Perigynes._ 1718. Stunted calycine corollæ, with nuts, plums, berries, or apples. 1719. They are perigynous Polypetalæ, and include the Apetalæ and Diclines. 1720. The nut consists of a large seed, connate with the woody ovarium, and frequently with the calyx. 1721. The plum is a legumen, between the coats of which fleshy matter has accumulated, and whose internal tunic or endocarp has become woody. The berry is a many-seeded hollow capsule, which, as well as the calyx, has become soft and succulent.
