 Obs. Jussieu and Ventenat have referred this genus to the na- 

 tural order Thy meleae ; but that it is a genuine Proteacea, as 

 Dr. Smith has considered it, is proved by the erect embryo, 

 the terminal style, and the aestivation of the Calyx ; and is 

 rendered evident by its affinity to Sinisia, which, with the 

 more usual appearance of this order, agrees with Conosper- 

 mum in the structure of its Antherae.
