Mr. BuowN, on the Proteacece of Jussieu. 225 



Both Willclenow and Ventenat have considered this gonus as 

 belonoinsc to Proteaceae, with whose structure indeed the de- 

 scription of Loureiro in most respects well agrees. Mr. 

 Konig, however, (Ann. of Bot. 1. p. 392.) assures us, on the 

 authority of original specimens, that it is scarcely different 

 from Olea, though Loureiro has characterized it as having 

 four bilocular antherae, included in the concave apices of 

 the segments of the corolla ; two circumstances altogether 

 incompatible with Oleinee, and which render it not impro- 

 bable that the specimen sent ta Sir Joseph Banks by the 

 author was very different from that which he described.
