Candolle in Prodromo bene in unum iterum conjunxit, et sectiones plures minus feliciter imprimis
ad staminum numerum distinxit. Nostro sensu cireumscriptiones et eharaeteres a Kunthio v. a
Miquelio propositi divisiones magis naturales probent, etsi non semper aceurate definitas, Numerus
staminum in pluribus speciebus sat eonstans, vix tamen eum habitu consentaneus, in aliis variat a 2

rarissime ovulum adesse dicitur in ovarii rudimento floris quodam d, quod tamen nobis
nunquam obvium fuit.

Species bene notz paullo ultra 3000, tribuum 3 ultimarum pro maxima parte inter tropicos in
utroque orbe vigentes, tribuum 3 priorum imprimis extratropiez, boreales v. australes; plurimse
tamen e tribu Euphorbiearum, perpaucz e Stenolobieis v. Buxeis plus minus tropicales sunt. In regio-
nibus Areticis Antarcticis uti in summis Alpibus Euphorbiaceg omnino desunt. :

Euphorbiaceg seriem plantarum ostendunt a ceteris ordinibus haud diffieile separandam, si
specimina adsint utriusque sexus bene evoluta, etsi genera nonnulla primo aspectu Celastrineis Ster-
culiaccis, ete., inter Polypetalas accedere videantur, alia quodammodo. Urticeis inter Monochlamqydeas
approximantur, semper tamen characteribus certis distinguenda. Genera plurima, ad specimina
imperfecta definita, ab auctoribus eum ordinibus variis confusa, melius nota locum certum obtinu-
erunt, alia sexu unico tantum descripto adhue valde dubia remanent.

Ordo vastus et polymorphus, olim quoad genera eo tempore nota optime ab Adriano de Tussieu
compositus, quam maxime auctus, cura diligentissima a H. Baillono et à Muelléro Argoviensi elabo-
Patus est. Hi tamen auetores sententia valde differunt quoad generum tribuumque limites et ordina-
