The remaining families belonging to the =Tetracyclicæ= are:--

=a.= HYPOGYNOUS flowers (with a few exceptions): 29, _Tubifloræ_; 30,

_Personatæ_; 31, _Nuculiferæ_; 32, _Contortæ_.

=b.= EPIGYNOUS flowers: 33, _Rubiales_; 34, _Dipsacales_; 35,

_Campanulinæ_; 36, _Aggregatæ_. The ovaries and ovules in the last

family are always reduced to one; and at the same time the fruits

become nuts, and the flowers are united into crowded inflorescences.
