2l6 Mr. Brown, o/i the Proteacea of Jussieu. 



To RENDER this cssaj as complete as I am able, I proceed to 

 notice such plants, as either belong or have been referred to Pro- 

 teaceae, but from my imperfect acquaintance with which, or from 

 the unsatisfactory accounts hitherto given of them, could not 

 Avith 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 HistoriaPlanta- 

 rum, which had escaped me when the paper was first read to the 

 Society. 



LeO'cadendron linifoUum, foliis lineari-spathulatis aversis basi 

 attenuatis ramisque glabris, capitulo masculo sessili foliis 

 circumvallantibus longiore, calycis tubo barbato : laminis 

 stylisque imberbibus.

Obs. There can be no doubt of the genus of this plant, or of 

 the individual figured by Jacquin being a male. From the 

 same 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 

 laminae of the calyx being quite smooth. 



Leucadendron fuscifiorum, foliis lineari-lanceolatis glabris 

 junioribus rectis basi attenuatis, capitulo femineo foliis cir- 

 cumvallantibus breviore, calycis laminis plumoso-barbatis : 

 tubo pilosiusculo.
