Kewenfis, it fometimes became necefTary to alter the language 

 of his characters to adapt it to that of Linn/eus, every where 

 ufed in that work. In doing this in the prefent inftance, Mr. 

 Dryander has inadvertently committed an overhght, which 

 occafioned us fome trouble in determining whether our plant 

 belonged to fioribunda or cuneata $ the author having defcribed 

 the lamina of the perianthium as being fmooth, he feems to have 

 haftily taken it up as if the expreflion perianthii laminis meant the 

 lacinia of the corolla; whereas by lamina Mr. Brown meant 

 only the expanded part at the apex, into which the anther is 

 immerfed, considering the long narrow part as the unguis ; which, 

 fo far from being fmooth, is very thickly bearded. 



We have thought it better to omit this part of the character al- 

 together, the feffile leaves being alone fufficient to diftinguifh it 

 from cuneata^ the only fpecies with which it is in danger of being 

 confounded, all the others, hitherto known, having pinnatifid 

 leaves. To this we have added another character, pointed out to 

 us by Mr. Brown himfelf, the hairinefs of the branches; thefe 

 parts being clothed with fcattcred long hairs in our plant, and 

 with a fhort thickfet villofity in cuneata. 



Native of the fouth coaft of New-Holland, commonly called 

 Lewin's Land, the only country which has been hitherto known 

 to produce any fpecies of Dryandra, where it affefts lovr 

 rocky fituations.
