The above description was taken from a specimen collected 

 on Mount Baldo, and preserved in the Banksian Herbarium. 

 Notwithstanding the very accurate figure which Pona has given 

 of this plant, authors have been much disagreed regarding it. It 

 is undoubtedly the plant Linnaeus intended by his S. pztrcea, 

 although his synonyms are very incorrect. The learned Gunner 

 justly remarks, in speaking of his petrcea (tridactylites (B), that it 

 ill accorded with the description in the Species Pla?itarum, which 

 has evidently been taken from figures or specimens of the present 

 species, although Linnaeus regarded them as the same.
