Mr. Salisbury, in the Paradifus Londinenfis. But Mr 

 R. Brown, librarian to the Linnean Society, has began to 

 read before that body, a treatife on the natural order of the 

 Protege, in which the whole family will be divided into 

 diftina genera. The name of Protea we are informed he 

 has applied to the genus of which our prefent plant is a fpecies. 

 We have no doubt but that his arrangement will be generally 

 adopted, no Botanift of the prefent day being, perhaps, fo well 

 qualified for this undertaking. 



The Protea fpeciofa is a native of the Cape of Cood Hope. 

 Requires an airy light greenhoufe. Is propagated by feeds 

 only. J 



Our drawing was taken at Mr. Woodford's late garden 

 at Vauxhall. s
