212 Mr. Brown, on the Proteacea of Jiissieu. 



OBS.Dryandra of Thunberg, first published in Flora Japonica, 

 being not generically different from Aleurites, which was 

 previously established by Forster, 1 have peculiar satisfaction 

 in giving the name of my respected friend, Mr. Dryander, 

 to a genus so nearly related to Banksia, from which indeed it 

 differs chiefly in Inflorescence,, but in that respect so widely 

 as to be at once distinguishable : there is also something in the 

 habit, especially in the leaves of the greater number of spe- 

 cies, by which, independent of the parts of fructification, the 

 genus is pretty certainly indicated ; and it is worthy of no- 

 tice, that, while Banksia is generally spread over all the 

 coasts of New Holland and o^f Van Diemen's Island,. Dry- 

 andra has hitherto been observed only on that part of the 

 south coast called Lewins Land, where, however, its species 

 are nearly as numerous and abundant as those of Banksia 

 itself.
