Oss. Jussieu and Ventenat have referred this genus to the na- 
tural order Thymelez ; but that it isa genuine Proteacea, as 
Dr. Smith has considered it, is proved by the erect embryo, 
_ the terminal style, and the estivation of the Calyx; and is 
- rendered. evident by its affinity to Simsia, which, with the 
` more usual appearance of this order, agrees with Conosper- 
mum in the structure of its Anthere.
