_ Endeavour’s River. I do find specimens from Banks, nor are they 
mentioned by Bentham, but Brown cites the MS. name as from Solander’s MSS. on 
the label attached to his specimens from the Islands of the Gulf of Carpentaria 
and Bentham identifies these with his plant ‘

Indeavour’s River. Bentham substituted Adeliopsis for Adelioides, on the ground 
that in Brown’s MSS. “the term Adelioides was evidently intended as a memorandum, 
not as a generic name.” ‘This, however, is not the case: the same name appears in 
Solander’s MSS. and (in Banks’s hand) on the drawing, in each case with the specific 
adjunct decumbens, which, moreover, is cited by Bentham. The two having been 
published synchronously, I have retained the original form of the name. - The 
specimens on which Bentham’s description is based—the only ones known at the 
time the Mora Australiensis was written —were collected by Banks and Solander, 
not by Brown, as there stated. Brown, however, according to his MSS., collected 
the same plant on February 22nd, 1802; he describes both his own and the Banksian 
specimens, and localizes the latter as from “Point Fear, 1770.”
