In the inestimable Prodromus Fl. Nove Hollandie of 
Mr. Brown, thirteen species of Dryanpra are enumerated, 
and in the Supplement to the same work, twelve new spe- 
cies are added ; all of them, as Mr. Brown observes, natives 
of the South-western shores. “It is worthy of remark,” 
says that gentleman, “ that while Banxsia is generally 
read over all the coasts of New Holland and of Van 
jemen’s Island, Dryanpra has hitherto been observed 
only on that part of the South coast called Lewin’s Land, - 
where, however, its species are nearly as numerous an 
abundant as those of Banksia itself.” “D. armata was dis- 
covered by that gentleman in the country just mentioned, 
and from seeds sent from thence by the late Mr. Fraser, 
plants have been raised in the Glasgow Botanic Garden, 
which flowered in February, 1833.
