SPENCER MOORE: МОХОСНІАМҮРЕ Ж, 185 
Rami vetustiores foliis jam orbi 15 mm. diam., quam juniores duplo 
crassiores, cortice fragili griseo-cinereo obducti. Folia modice circa 12 x 4 em. 
(prope basin 1:5 em. lat.), in sicco griseo-brunnea ; coste laterales utrinque 
circa 12, ascendentes, recti, raro leviter arcuate, pagina inferiore sepe et 
pagina superiore satis perspicum ; reticulum laxum; glandule immerse 
crebro. Capitula circa 4:5 x6 em. Involueri braetez exteriores 5-8 mm. 
long., intermediæ 10-30 mm., intimæ 40 mm. vel paullo ultra, bracteæ omnes 
in sicco eastanez. Perianthium :egre 40 mm. long. ; labium inferius juxta 
basin 5 mm. lat., ad medium 1 mm., hujus lobi laterales 2 mm. long., lobus 
intermedius angustus, acutus, 1:2 mm. long. Filamenta circa 0:5 mm. long. ; 
ап еге puberule, 6:5 mm. long. Ovarium anguste ovoideo-oblongum, 
2:2 mm. long.; stylus aliquanto complanatus, 4 em. long. 
Judging from the figure and description this seems to be near P. Goetzeana, 
Engl., which, among other features, has acute leaves, somewhat different 
involueral bracts, and smaller white flowers.

Folia vulgo 5-6°5 em. long. (raro 7 em.), 1-1:5 em. lat. (raro 17 em.), in 
sicco griseola, evanide vel subevanide costata. ^ Capitula pansa (floribus 
inclusis) circa 2:5 x 575 em. Pedunculi circa 1 em. long., hujus squamae 
2:5-3 mm. long. Involueri bracteæ exteriores verisimiliter persistentes, 3 mm. 
long., interiores 4 mm., omnes coriaceæ, hæ subrhombicee. Perianthium 
2:5 cm. long., segmenta basi 1:5-2 mm. lat, sub apice 1 mm., ipso apice 
15 mm. Anthere 2 mm. long. Ovarium 2 mm. long. Ovulum juxta 
medium loculi affixum. Stylus paullo ultra 3 em. long., stigma vix 2 mm. 
Closely allied to L. attenvatum, В. Br. ; differing from it chiefly in the 
smaller bracts of the involucre, the coherence of the fourth segment of the 
perianth with the rest so as to form a single lip, and the shorter style. The 
red colour of the flower is also worthy of mention. 
No species of Leucospermum has so far been recorded as tropical.
