This and the three following were only “known to “Linneeus from specimens 
and engravings communicated by Sir Joseph Banks” (Rees Cyclop. Suppl.); these 
engravings were, of course, taken from the plates here reproduced. The name 
Jsostylis, here adopted for the genus in 1! of the sup ion of Banksia 
Lf. (4781) by Banksia J. R. and G. Forst. (1776), is given by Steudel (Nomenclator, 
i, pp. 184, 829, 1840) as a synonym of Banksia L.f.; it was published by Brown 
as the name of a section of the genus.
