 410 Salicornia, Engl. Bot. t. 415 and 1691, and Hippuris, t. 763, are British examples of Monandria Monogynia.

Valeriana (Class 3) has some species with one stamen.

2. Digynia. Styles 2. Contains Corispermum, Fl. Græc. t. 1, Blitum, Curt. Mag. t. 276, and a few plants besides.

CLASS 2. Diandria. Stamens 2.—Orders 3.

1. Monogynia. This, the most natural and numerous Order, comprehends the elegant and fragrant Jasmineæ, the Jasmine, Lilac, Olive, &c,—also Veronica, ''Engl. Bot. t. 2, 1027, 623, 783, &c.—and a few labiate flowers with naked seeds, as Salvia, Engl. Bot. t.'' 153, 154, Rosemary, &c., natural allies of the 14th class; but having only two stamens, they are necessarily ranged here in the artificial system.

2. Digynia consists only of Anthoxanthum, a grass, ''Engl. Bot. t.'' 647, which for the reason just given is separated from its natural family in the third class.

3. Trigynia—has only Piper, the Pepper, a large tropical genus.
