Mycological System

Leguminosae Legumes *) — Cruciferae Mustard family
Frangulaceae Buckthorn family — Berberideae Barberry family
Portulacaceae Purslane family, Crassulaceae Stonecrop family &c. (Montia a genus of purslane, — Droseraceis Sundew family &c. &c.
Scleranthus Knawel &c.).

We also find analogy in the subdivisions of these; for example, between the Rosaceae Rose family & Ranunculaceae Buttercup family, the Potentillae Cinquefoils & Ranunculae Buttercups are analogous, as are Spireae Meadowsweets & Helleborinae Hellebores, and so on. What of the fact that Rosa Rose & Nymphaea Water lily are analogous? Only the modifications change, which depend on the essential character of each series.

In the animal kingdom, Quadrupedia Quadrupeds & Cetacea Whales agree in the innermost principles of life; but the latter, on account of secondary factors, for instance submerged life, are analogous to Piscibus Fishes.

Finally, when this analogy is observed in sections of highly affine genera, for instance among Lichenes Lichens & Fungos Fungi, the causes of change must be very accidental. Thus, it is customary for whether Polypori Polypores, Daedaleae a type of pore fungus, Thelephorae a type of crust fungus are stipitate having a stalk and sessile attached without a stalk, or resupinate lying flat against the substrate, to depend on the situation and location.

The more nature researchers have rested on the surface, the more they have confused analogues with affines.

*) We have always seen more perfect orders with regular (verticillate) flowers arise from orders with irregular (symmetric) flowers, in which the number of stamens is also impoverished. Thus, the Rosaceae from the Leguminosae, the Asperifoliae Borage family from the Labiatae Mint family, the Solanaceae Nightshade family from the Personatae an older taxonomic term for plants with mask-like flowers, the Cistini Rock-rose family from the Violaceae Violet family, etc.; but these are more often and more correctly included under the same order, such as Delphinia Larkspurs, etc., among the Ranunculaceae, Fumariae Fumitories among the Papaveraceae Poppy family, and so on.
