216 Mr. Brown, on the Proteacec of Jussieu. 3 
To RENDER this essay as complete as T am able, I proceed to 
notice such plants, as either belong or have been referred to Pro- 
teaceæ, but from my imperfect acquaintance with which, or from 
the unsatisfactory accounts hitherto given of them, could ‘not 
with certainty be referred to any of the genera described, or, if 
referable to any of them, I could not with confidence propose 
as distinct species; and shall conclude with the addition of a 
few synonyms to the species described, from Ray's Historia Planta- 
rum, which had escaped me when the paper was first read to the 
Society. 
LrvcapzNnpnow linifolium, foliis lineari-spathulatis aversis basi 
attenuatis ramisque glabris, capitulo masculo sessili foliis 
-circumvallantibus longiore, calycis tubo barbato: laminis 
stylisque imberbibus.

Oss. There can be no doubt of the genus of this plant, or of 
the individual figured by Jacquin beinga male. From the 
sanie figure, by which alone I am acquainted with it, it 
seems to be very nearly related to Leucadendron tortum, from 
_ which it differs in having the male heads sessile, and in the 
| lamine of the calyx being quite smooth. - 
LEUCADENDRON fusciflorum, foliis Tineari-lanceolatis glabris 
. Junioribus rectis basi attenuatis, capitulo femineo foliis cir- - 
cumvallantibus breviore, calycis laminis plumoso-barbatis : 
tubo pilosiusculo;
