It seems hardly possible to reconcile the synonyms quoted 
from the older botanists as applied to the different species of 
this genus, especially to strigosa and spinosa, which however, 
we are very much inclined to think may be only varieties of 
each other. : : 
We have identified our plant with the specimens in the 
Banksian Herbarium, and compared it with the descriptions 
and figures of the synonyms quoted, and have no doubt of 
our being right as to the species ; yet we cannot reconcile it 
with the Linnean specific phrase. The heads grow in the 
same manner, and are equally globular with geek? om,
