Mr. 'Bnows, on the P/oteacece of Jussicii, 219 



flowers satisfy mc that it is not a species of Scrruria, and 

 prevent nic at the same time from referring it to Isopoqon 

 tmcthifoliiis, whose leaves are not unlike, but whose flowers 

 arc of a very different colour. 



Protea. 



Protea venosa. Lam. Illust. Gen. 1. p. 234. n. 1212. Poiret. 



Encyc. Botan. 5. p. 640. 

 Said by Poiret to resemble in most respects Protea lotigifiora ; 



it must therefore be a genuine Protea. 



Pkotea. 



Scolymodend ros Africanus ex Monte Tabulari. Pluh. Manl. 168. 



^442./.4. 



This is manifestly a Protea, which it appears Plukenet had seen 

 only in the possession of Woodward. The head, especially 

 in the form of the bractea;, bears a great resemblance to 

 that of Protea cyiiaroides; but the leaves are so very different, 

 that, unless we suppose they were drawn from memory and 

 disproportionately reduced, it cannot be referred to this 

 species. It is probably however one of the more common 

 kinds, and I know not what else to suppose it may be, except 

 Protea grandiflora. The figure itself has never, so far as I 

 know, been noticed by any author. 



Leucospermum. 



Scolymocephalus Africanus, foliis in summitate profundiiis 

 .crenatis, intercreniis majoribus florum staminulis longis re- 

 curvis. Raj. Hist. 3. Dendr. p. 10. 

 This is probably a Leucospermum, and perhaps L. elUpticum.
