Families: SAPINDALES, sap-in-da'lez, the soapberry order, a rather large and not well-defined group of dicotyledonous plants, mostly trees and shrubs. ' As often interpreted, the Sapindales include some 4,300 species in 23 families. The flowers in the different families show a considerable range of variation. They commonly have 5 (or 4) sepals, 5 (or 4) petals (which may be suppressed), 2 whorls of stamens, but usually fewer than 10 in all (or one whorl may be lacking), and 5, or more often 3 to 2, fused pistils.
This stallion, foaled at er, N. Y., in 1849 and owned by William 'k of Goshen, N. Y., sired about 1,330 foals, of which showed supremacy on the track i the stud.
