the seed ; for the Involucrum, which at first seems to afford so: 
excellent a distinction, considerably loses its importance in 
Telopea.truncata, in which it almost always includes the ru- 
diments of branches, as in Hakea. In natural affinity Te- 
lopea approaches much: more nearly to Oreocallis, wliich 
differs principally in having no gland at the base of the foot- 
stalk of its ovarium, and in the want of an Involucrum : the 
wingof the seed seems (from the figure in the Flora Peruviana) 
to be in like manner vascular. Embothrium itself, which is 
also very nearakin to Telopea, is distinguishable by its verti- 
cal stigma, oval pollen, and naked corymbi..
