Mimetes hirtus.

 Hist. 3, Bend. p. 10. 



Besides the Proteaceae described or noticed in this [22G 

 paper, I am acquainted with several very beautiful species, 

 chiefly of Grevillea and Persoonia, discovered in New Hol- 

 land by Mr. George Caley, a most assiduous and accurate 

 botanist, who, under the patronage of Sir Joseph Banks, 

 has for upwards of eight years been engaged in examining 

 the plants of New South Wales, and whose numerous dis- 

 coveries will, it is hoped, be soon given to the public, either 

 by himself, or in such a manner as to obtain for him that 

 reputation among botanists to which he is well entitled.
