Herbs/shrubs and trees. The indefinite, free, or more rarely polyadelphous stamens, aflford the chief structural character of the Order, as compared with the two foregoing families, to which it is closely allied. The genus Grewia is well represenitedin the reserved jungle of Mysore, where some of the climbing species form dense thickets for the preservation of wild animals. The jute plant, Corchorus capsularis, is only found rarely in local cultivation.

This large American family of trees and climbing shrubs is represented in India by only three genera and tM'elve species. The latter are characterised by tlieir climbing habit, opposite simple leavesj and regular flowers having fringed and clawed petals. The large gland or glands at the base of calyx is also a peculiar condition of the family. The plants named at foot are all highly ornamental, and it is not difficult to procure specimens in local gardens.

GERANIUM AND SORREL FAMILY.
Herbs, undershrubs, and rarely trees. The morphology of this large Order can only be determined by studying one or two good type specimens of each tribe. The latter being treated by some botanists as distinct Orders.

Tribe I Geraniea: Herbs or undershrubs with, frequeaatly, swollen nodes and membranous stipules.

Examine all the parts of any garden geranium. In doing so, note the peculiar formation of the fruit, which is not unlike a crane's bill.

Tribe II Oxalidem: Herbs or small trees with com- pound sensitive leaves. Compare the Bilimbi tree with the perennial herb Pullampurasi soppu.

Tribe III Balsamineoe: Herbs with succulent stems, simple leaves and irregular showy flowers. See the garden Balsam, which has run wild about Bangalore.

Tribe IV Tropimlaceee: Trailing herbaceous plants with alternate, simple, smooth, and often peltate leaves. Flowers irregular and showy. Fruit acrid. The introduced bedding plants popularly called Nasturtium really belong to the genus Tropceolum, and are good types of the tribe.

RUTACE (THE RUE AND OEANGE FAMILY)
A large tropical and sub-tropical Order of trees and shrubs ; the tribe Butece being almost exclusively herbs. The foetid herb, Butece graveolens, is said to be obnoxious to snakes, and it is often cultivated near habitation's on that account. The orange tribe, Auranfiecs, is well marked by its white fragrant flowers, glandular leaves, and hand- some fruit. With types of the above, compare specimens of Zanthoxylon and ToddaUa, genera representing two additional tribes of the family.

SAPINDAGE (THE SOAPWOKT EAMILY)
A large Ofder of trees, (which are most abundant) shrubs,* and rarely wiry herbs. Chiefly confined to the tropics of S. America and Asia. The leaves are comt jgionly /Jiiiinate, exstipulate, and alternate. There are however, many exceptions in the technical characters of both the leaf and flower. The latter is usually inconspi- cuous and unsymmetrical, the stamens being an odd number to the corresponding parts. A careful examination of Nos. 1, 3 and 5 wiU enlighten the student as to the anomalous character of this family.

ANACARDIACE (THE MANGO FAMILY)
An important tropical Order of trees and shrubs. There is no special characteristic in the leaf arrangement beyond the fact that a pecuHar gum-resin is often dis- charged by the tender foliage and bark, as in the genua Anacardium. The flowers are small, uniexual, bisexual, or polygamous ; also unsymmetrical, by the frequent abortion of stamens. Ovary generally one-celled. Nos. 3, 5 and 7 are good types of the family.

PAPILIONACEa (THE PEA FAMILY)
It should b noted that this Order of herbs, shrubs and trees, the largest but one of flowering plants, is arranged under three well defined Sub-Orders—I PaplionacecBy II Gasalpinim, and III Mimosek. The first of these is cosmopolitan, and possesses the typical irregular, butterfly pea-flower. Eresentatives are found in all countries', mostly in the form of herbs, shrubs, and twicers ; the trees bemg largely confined to the tropics. See the garden pea or the field bean, Ave&e esiS. Cresalpinieae is confined to the tropical, sub-tropical and warm temperate parts of the world. It is largely made up of trees and shrubs with finely pimmte leaves and handsome, irregulair flowers. Examine Nos. 65, 73- and 77, all' of whidi are good types. Mimosese is also restricted to the warmer parts of the globe. The small regular flowers; are usually arranged in dense globular heads (puff-balls) or eyhndrical spites. See the indigenous genera. The prqgresave' transition from the irregular to the regular form of flower can be distinctly traced through these SubOrders Leguminosae contains nearly 7000 knowB spepies.

ROSAGEyE (THE ROSE FAMILY)
An important Order of herbs, shrubs, and trees ; mostly confined to cool temperate regions. Owing to considerable diversity in structure the family is arranged into tribes, and by some botanists into sub-orders. Its general characters are defined as follows: Leaves alternate, rarely opposite, stipulate. Flowers regular, (except in Ghrysobalanes) usually showy, and often fragrant.' Corolla polypetalous. Stamens indefinite and perigynous. Ovary of one or more free or connate carpels. Fmii variable, but often conspicuous and handsome as in the apple, peach, and loquat. 3, 4, 6 and 7 afford good types of the principle tribes. Compare them carefully with each other.

SAXeFRAGAGE (THE SAXIFRAGE FAMILY)
An Order of herbs, shrubsj and a few tropical trees. Excepting the latter, its species are scattered throughout the cold and temperate regions of the world, or at high elevations in tropical, and snb-tropical countries. Leaves alternate, simple, and usually entire ; or merely lobed. Flowers less conspicuous than in Bosac&s and usually irregular. Stylep corresponding to the number of carpels. This family is closely allied to the precedding one, although, comparatively, 'of little, economic value. It consists largely of alpine weeds.

COiBRETACE (THE MYEOBALAN FAMILY)
Trees or shrubs; the latter often cHmbing. The leaf arrangement is variable, excepting that the leaves are extipulate and usually entire. Flowers with or without a coroUa, in small crowded racemes , often creamy-white and occasionally foetid as in Terminalia helerica. The most constant character is found in the inferior oneeelled ovary, in which there are 2—7 ovules suspended by a funicle. The genus Terminalia affords some of our commonest forest trees. See the glandular leaf-stalk and winged fruit of some of the latter. Genera 4 and 5 are much cultivated for their hand- some flowers.

Leaves opposite, rarely alternate, simple, entire and usually marked by an intra-marginal vein. The greater part of them are also marked with glandular dots. Flowers axillary or termioal, regular, and usually showy on account of the indefinite number and large' growth of the stamens. The genus Eugenia, of which the local tree Nerale mara is a type, ia represented in the hill forests of India by over 100 species. But the great Australian genus Eucalyptus contains about 300 species. Examine specimens of Nos. 2, 4, 6 and 7.

BEGONIAGE/E (THE BEGONIA FAMILY)
The genus Begonia, of which there are about 400 species, forais the bulk of this family. Succulent herbs or undershrubs with markedly oblique (dimidiate) leaves, and showy pink, rose, yellow and white flowers. There are about 65 species Scattered over the moist hill regions of India and Butmah. For special structural characters see the peculiar leaf formation, the unisexual {monacious} flowers, and the usually 3 —celled inferior ovary containing numerous small seeds. 1 Begonia, Ijinn. These orDatnental herbs are extensively used in India, both for pot culture and bedding oat under partial shade.

COMPOSlTyE (THE COMPOSITE FAMILY)
Herbs, shrubs, or rarely trees ; the latter being soft wooded, and mostly indigenous to South America. This is the largest Order of flowering plants, comprising about 8,000 known species from all parts of the world. It is also very clearly defined by the following characters:

1. The usually herbaceous nature of species. 2. The capitate inflorescence, i. e., the gathering into a single dense head of many individual florets, so that the whole might be mistaken for a single large flower. The daisy, for example, is often looked upon as a simple flower. 3. The united or syngenesious anthers. 4. The inferior ovary containing one erect ovule. Being a very large family, Gdmpositse. is divided into several tribes and numerous sub-tribes. The modifications of structure found under the headings Tubidiflora, and Lig'diflorce should be carefully noted by the Indian student. Nos. 4 1 and 46 represent these two Sub-Orders.

OLEACEyE (THE OLIVE AND JASMINE FAMILY)
An Old World family of trees and shrubs, characterised by long domestic use and a few technical points of interest. Of the latter note the want of symmetry in the flower, the stamens being only two in number while the sepals and petals are usually in fours and fives. Again, the oyary is 2—celled, hence we have the reproductive organs made up of two stamens and the same number of carpels. The tribe Jasmnece has many species affording deliciously fragrant white and yellow Bowers (Tribe jASMiNEiE.)

BORAGINE (THE BOEAGE FAMILY)
A large Order of herbs, shrubs and trees. Prevailing in the north temperate zones, and scattered throughout the world. Leaves rough, alternate, exstipulate, and usually entire. Flowers mostly in scorpioid cymes, or solitary, 5—merous. Stamens alternate with the corolla- -. lobes. Ovary superior, entire, or two to four lobed, with j an ovule in each lobe. Lahiatce has a somewhat similar \ ovary, so students should note other characters to determine between the two families. The tribes Cordieee., EhretiecB, Heliotropieee and Boragea are represented by Nos, 1,2, 4 and 9 respectively.

GONVOLVULACEyE (THE BINDWEED FAMILY)
The plants of this Order are mostly of a twining or trailing habit, but there are also some erect shrubs, and a fe\v trees. Confined almost exclusively to tropical and sub-tropical regions. Leaves alternate and exstipulate, usually long-petiolate. Flowers conspicuous and gaily coloured, campatiulate or funnel —shaped; cymose and bracteate. Note the plaited corolla which is an unusual condition in gamcipetalae. Also the annular disc sur- rounding the superior 2 —4 celled ovary. Seeds definite, being usually 4—1. The elephant creeper, Argyreia seciosa, is a good large type of the family. The tribe Guscutea consists of leafless parasites suspended from the trunks and branches of trees in the cooler parts of India.

SOLANACE (THE NIGHTSHADE FAMILY)
An extensive Order of herbs and shrubs, very rarely soft wooded trees. Confined mostly to the warm parts of the world, while useful species, such as the potato, are much scattered by cultivation. Leaves alternate or geminate, but never oppositej; exstipulate. Flower i in terminal, axillary or extra-axillary cymes. Observe that the latter condition is not unusual. They are also regular, sexual, and isomerous; white and blue, with prominent yellow anthers, being the prevailing colours. Ovary 2—celled or spiiriously 4-=-celled. Ovules indefinite, on projecting peltate placentas. Fruit various, with numerous seeds. Note, also, the frequent enlargement of the calyx as the fruit attains maturity. The Sub- Orders Solanece cyamece and Cestrinece are represented by Nos. 1, 8 and 13 respectively. Many species are powerfully narcotic.

SCROPHULARINEyE (THE FIGWOKT FAMILY)
A large Order of herbs, shrubs, or exceptionally trees, ieaves opposite, or more rarely alternate and whorled; exstipulate. Flowers irregular, and anisomerous by the suppression of one or more stamens. The latter condition should be carefully noted as it technically separates the family from Solanacem. Observe, too, that the perfect stamens are often didynamous. The Order is widely scattered over the globe and affords many popular garden flowers, as also a considerable proportion of the weeds of most countries. Nos. 1,4, 10, 15 and 21 are good examples for study, as they represent the more injportant tribes of the group.

Herbs or undershrubs. A large Order distributed through sub-tropical Asia and tropical America. Leaves exstipulate, simple, often wrinkled, and variously at- tached. In the Sub-Order Eugemerece the herbaceous plant is usually deciduous, life being sustained for a season by the scaly tubers. Flowers irregular, showy, bracteate, and sexual. See the cultivated garden plants Gloxinia and Achimenes. The Sub-Order Cyriandrece, which is alone indigenous to India, is determined by a superior ovary, exalbuminous fusiform seeds, and com- monly a slender sihquiform capsule. Examine species of Nos. 1 and 4, which represent the two Sub-Orders re- ferred to. Sub-Oedee.

VERBENAGEyE (THE VERBENA FAMILY)
An Order of trees, shrubs and herbs ; iriostly fropical. Its general morphology is closely allied to that of Acanihacece and Lahiutm, and the strictly determinable points will be found in the structure of the ovaries and the disposition of the ovules in the three families. The one under notice has an entire, superior, and usually 4-celled ovary, with terminal style-. Tha.Qvules are not attached by a hooked process, and the fruit is rarely capsular, being mostly a drupe or berry. The species are alsa much larger, as a rule, than we find them in the allied Orders here referred to. Examine species of Nos. 1, 5, 7 and 10.

LABIAT/E. (THE LABIATE FAMILY.)
This large Order of aromatic herbs is most abun- dant in the horth temperate parts of the world. Shrubby planta are rare. Note tbe square stem with opposite, pflandular, and exstipulate leaves ; also the irregular flower with persistent calyx and deeply 4—lobed ovary, the latter being a special character in this family. The sacred herb ' tulasi' and its congeners are typical plants of the Order, and a careful dissection of their parts will instruct the enquirer better than any written diagnosis. India possesses 55 genera and about 340 species.

The special morphology of the family is found in the peculiar arrangement of the stamens, (anthers especially) and staminodes. Ovm y superior, sessile,, and 1,—celled. Ovule solitary, suspended from the top of the cell. Fruit usually on a thickened peduiicle, indehiscent.1 Note that the genera Cassytha (Filiform twining parasites) and Uernandia (Evergreen trees) form distinct tribes of the Order.

LORANTHACE (THE MISTLETOE FAMILY)
A large Qrder of evergreen, parasitic, shrubs. The. tropical genus Loranthus counts about 60 Indian species. The position of these, clinging to trees and shrubs, at once marks their character. They have also showy tubular flowers, in red, yellow, and green colours. Fruit a 1 seeded berry. The old mango trees in Mysore are muchj infested by the species entered in this collection.

SANTALACE/E (THE SANDALWOOD EAMILY)
Herbs, shrubs and trees. Some of the former are parasitical and so nearly allied to the Loranthacese that a careful study of the interior ovary is essential to decide the classification. The sandal tree, Santalum album, affords a yearly revenue to the Mysore State of about eight lakhs of rupees 80,000.

URTICE (THE NETTLE AND FIG FAMILY)
An extensive Order of chiefly tropical herbs, shrubs and trees. But the species differ, so considerably in general architiecture, and form of inflorescence, that some botanists prefer to treat the , group as two or more distinct families. Example- Canndbineee, (the hemps) MoreB, (the mulberries and figs) Artocmpeoe (the breadfruit and Jack) and UrUceee, the nettles proper. It is necessary therefore to examine types selected from the several tribes which otherwise substi- tute this important Order, and although it is admitted that extreme forms might well represent distinct families, still it is more natural and convenient to treat them as one. Fig trees are abundant throughout Mysore, and it is often remarked by the people that they have no flowers. This mistake arises from the latter being concealed within the fleshy receptacle, which is popularly known from the beginning as the fruit. A young fig is therefore the receptacle of the inflorescence. Leaves stipulate, and mostly alternate. Flowers minute, monoecious or diceciotiff. Stamens equal to the perianth lobes and opposite to them. Ova/ry 1~, celled and 1—ovuled. Examine species of Nos. 4, 7, 9 10 and 11.

A small Order of leafless trees and shrubs. Mostly Australian, but also scattered in the Malay and Pacific Islands, The introduced Casuarina equisetifoUa, Forst, i ; extensively cultivated in Mysore, and other parts of India, as a remunerative fuel-tree. It is a graceful pinelike tree, and the mournful soughing of its fluted branchlets is a familiar sound to those who frequent its groves. The proper lea'ves are reduced to mere scales at the tips of the branchlets. Flowers unisexual, monoecious, and dull red- In a country where there are no pines, the scenic effect of this genus is remarkable.

ORGHIDEyE (THE OECHID FAMILY)
An Order of herbs (epiphytal ajld terrestrial) comprising upwards of 5,000 gpecies. The epiphytal class abounds in tropical and sub-tropical parts, of the world, •while ' ground orchids' are more abundant in temperate regions. The diagnostic characters of the family are marked by tubers, or, in the case of aerial orchids, pseudobulbs, very handsome irregular flowers, gynandrous stamens, and an inferior ovary. But for closer observation the student must obtain a key to the Tribes and numerous sub-tribes of this enormous family. Orchids abound largely in the hill tracts of India and Burn)ah, where many fine species are easily procured. There culti- ation tinder glass hasi proved so successful that, in Europe,' they are now the most fashionable flowers of the day. The genus Vanilla affords an aromatic fruit which commands a high market value. It may be, seen in local gardens, as also the operation of fertilising its flowers, which is necessary to produce the fruit.

PALMAGEyE (THE PALM PAMILY)
This splendid Order of trees and shrubs is represented in nearly all tropical and sub-tropical countries. The simple stem (trunk) with its terminal crown of noble evergreen leaves, of two typical forms, fan and pinnate, are characteristic conditions of the group. So are the perfect but imisexual flowers, thickly arranged on branching spadices within a protecting ppathe. When the student has made himself familiar with the local toddy palm, Ichalu, and the palmjra, Tale, he will readily re- cognise other species of the palm Order, Economically, it is one of the most useful families of plants. 1 Areca, Linn.

This is a large tropical Order of acrid herbs. Hav- ing perfect Sowers, the Tribe Acoraceae is occasionally treated as a separate Order. But collectively the aroids are a well defined natural group. Leaves usually large and striking, often variegated or coloured ; net-veinedj and sheathing. Flowers, small unisexual, {moncecioiis} arranged on a spadix within a spathe ; the whole supported on a long scape. The indigenous channel herb, Kesave dantu may be studied as a fairly good type of the family. The American, and Indian, clanhing aroids, are plants of vigorous growth and handsome foliage.
