186 ON THE PROTEACEiE OF JUSSIEU. 



220] MlMETES ? 



Protea dichotomy. Lam. Illust. Gen. I, p. 235, n. 1219. 

 Poiret, Encyc. Botan. h,p. 643. 

 Probably a spurious Mimetes. 



Serruria Bergii, capitulis simplicibus solitariis subpe- 

 dunculatis, bracteis cuneiformibus truncatis cum acumine 

 villosis : inferioribus glabris, calycibus curvatis sericeis, 

 stigmate turbinato-capitato, raraulis foliisque glabris. 

 Leucadendron sphserocephalum. Berg. Cap. 26.*

 confidence refer to it as such. 



Serruria. 

 221] Protea abrotanifolia minor. And. Repos. 536. 



Protea abrotanifolia hirta. And. Repos. 522. 



Protea abrotanifolia odorata. And. Repos. 545. 



These are manifestly Serruriae, but I do not venture to 

 refer them to any of the species I have described ; nor are
