G. ornithopoda, Meissn. Lehm. in Pl. Preiss. vol. ii. p- 256 ; in DC. Prodr. vol.

Grevillea ornithopoda belongs to one of two small closely 
allied sections of this very large genus, characterized by a 
straight perianth-tube and conical stigma. These sections, 
which have been regarded as genera (Anadenia, Br., with 
nine species, and Manglesia, Endl., with ten), are both 
Western Australian, with the exception of one species of 
Anadenia, which inhabits New South Wales. G. ornitho- 
poda belongs to the section Manglesia, so named (as a 
genus) in compliment to Capt. James Mangles, R.N., and 
his brother, Robert Mangles, Esq., of Sunningdale, through 
Whose exertions many Western Australian plants were 
introduced into this country half a century ago. Lindley 
almost simultaneously named a myrtaceous shrub after the 
brothers Mangles (Swan River App. t. 3) which has been 
since referred to Beaufortia. 
G. ornithopoda is a native of the south-western district 
of the Swan River Colony, between the river of that name 
and King George’s Sound. The specimen figured was 
‘Sent from the Botanical Gardens of Cambridge, where it 
flowered in a conservatory in April. 
Deser.—A small, perfectly glabrous shrub, with very 
Octozer Ist, 1900.
