CORYMBIFERÆ, in botany, the name of an order or division of the compound flowers adopted by Linnæus after Ray and Vaillant, in the former editions of his Fragments of a Natural Method. This title in the latter editions is changed for Discoideæ, another name borrowed from Ray's Method, but used in a somewhat different sense.
