Fructus musculiformis. Humph. Amb. 2, p. 184, t. 60. 



Gaertner has taken up this plant entirely from Rumpf's 

 figure, and referred it to Banksia on account of its fruit 

 containing according to that author two winged seeds. 

 But from Rumpf's description, it appears that the whole 

 plant is lactescent; hence it probably does not belong to 

 this family, but rather to Apocineae, as Burmannus has 

 already conjectured. 



Cylindria. Lour. Cochin, ed. Willd. I, p. 86. 

 225] Both Willdenow and Ventenat have considered this 

 genus as belonging to Proteaceae, with whose structure 

 indeed the description 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 character- 

 ized it as having four bilocular antherae, included in the 

 concave apices of the segments of the corolla; two circum- 

 stances altogether incompatible with Oleinae, and which 

 render it not improbable that the specimen sent to Sir 

 Joseph Banks by the author was very different from that 

 which he described.
