The following are not officinal in the British Pharmacopœia:—page 316, Dracæna (Dragon’s-blood), Smilax glabra; p. 321, “Orris-root”; p. 326, species of Curcuma, Alpinia officinarum; p. 333, Orchis-species (“Salep”). On page [296], par. 4, only Pearl Barley is offic. in the Brit. Phar.

CLASSIFICATION OF THE VEGETABLE KINGDOM.

The Vegetable Kingdom is arranged in 5 Divisions.

Division I.—Thallophyta, Stemless Plants, or those which are composed of a “thallus,” i.e. organs of nourishment which are not differentiated into root (in the sense in which this term is used among the higher plants), stem, or leaf. Vascular bundles are wanting. Conjugation and fertilisation in various ways; among most of the Fungi only vegetative multiplication.

In contradistinction to the Thallophytes all other plants are called “Stem-plants” (“Cormophyta”), because their shoots are leaf-bearing stems. The name Thallophyta (Stemless-plants) is to some extent unsuitable, since many of the higher Algæ are differentiated into stem and leaf.

The Thallophytes are again separated into 3 sub-divisions, namely:
