ON THE PKOTEACEiE OF JUSSIEU. 185 



From the very short and unsatisfactory description of 

 Thunberg, the genus of this plant cannot be determined, or 

 even with much probability guessed at. 



ISOPOGON. 



Protea divaricata. And. Bepos. 465. 



Can this be a variety of Isopogon anemonifoliiis ? The 

 yellow flowers satisfy me that it is not a species of pis 

 Serruria, and prevent me at the same time from referring 

 it to Isopogon anethifolius, whose leaves are not unlike^ but 

 whose flowers are of a very different colour. 



Protea. 



Protea venosa. Lmn. Illust. Gen. 1, p. 234, n. 1212. 

 Poiret, Encyc. Botan. 5, j». 640. 



Said by Poiret to resemble in most respects Protea 

 longiflora ; it must therefore be a genuine Protea. 



Peotea. 



Scolymodendros Africanus ex Monte Tabulari. PMc. 

 Mant. 168, t. 442,/. 4. 



This is manifestly a Protea, which it appears Plukenet 

 had seen only in the possession of Woodward. The head, 

 especially in the form of the bractese, bears a great resem- 

 blance to that 0^ Protea cynaroides ; but the leaves are so 

 very different, that, unless we suppose they were drawn 

 from memory and disproportionately reduced, it cannot be 

 referred to this species. It is probably however one of the 

 more common kindSj and I know not what else to suppose 

 it may be, except Protea grandiflora. The figure itself has 

 never, so far as I know, been noticed by any author. 



Ledcospermum. 



Scolymocephalus Africanus, foliis in summitate profundiiis 

 crenatis, intercreniis majoribus, florum staminulis longis re- 

 curvis. Baj. Hist. 3, Bendr. p. 10. 



This is probably a Leucospermuu), and perhaps L. 

 ellipticum.
