 Society. 



Leucadendron Unifolium, foliis lineari-spathulatis aversis 

 basi attenuatis ramisque glabris, capitulo masculo sessili 

 Miis circumvallantibus longiore, calycis tubo barbato : 

 laminis styhsque imberbibus.

Obs. There can be no doubt of the genus of this plant, 

 or of the individual figured by Jacquin being a male. 

 From the same figure, by which alone I am acquainted 

 with it, it seems to be very nearly related to Leucadendron 

 tortum, from which it differs in having the male heads 

 sessile, and in the laminae of the calyx being quite smooth.

This also is known to me only from Jacquin's figure, [217 

 from which it is unquestionably a Leucadendron, and a 

 female plant ; it can hardly however be supposed the female 

 of the preceding species ; and though I have constructed a 

 specific character for it, I think it is not improbably a variety 

 of Leucadendron angustatum.

This is undoubtedly a Leucadendron, and probably a 

 female plant ; but from the figure alone its species cannot 

 be determined.

Seems to be a male plant, and apparently different from 

 anything I have seen. Prom the form of the leaves 

 and the length of those surrounding the capitulum, I am
