leaves, fmaller than thofe of D. formofa, with a piirplifh- 

 brown calyx, and yellow, or tawny corolla. Style purplifh, 

 angular, fmooth. Stigma fmall, pyramidal, obtufe, not well 

 reprefented in the plate ; at leaft not in our Englifh edition. 

 This jloiuers at Kew from July to September. Mr. 

 Brown notices a variety in which the lobes of the leaves are 

 fomewhat divaricated, fingle-ribbed, and the Ji'tgma hardly 

 thicker than xhejlyle. 



10. D. longifoUa. Long-leaved Dryandra. Ait. n. 8. 

 — Leaves linear, pinnatitid, very long, acute ; downy be- 

 neath ; tapering and entire at the bafe ; lobes triangular, 

 afcending, decurrent, recurved at the margin. Calyx-fcales 

 linear, awl-pointed, fmooth, fringed. Corolla woolly at the 

 bafe ; downy upwards ; rather hairy at the tips. Stem 

 downy. — Difcovered by Mr. Brown, on rocky hills in Lew- 

 in's land. The pubefcence of the backs of the leaves is 

 greyifh, not white. This plant was raifed at Kew in 1805, 

 but has not yet borne znj Jloiuers. 



11. D. tenuifolia. Slender-leaved Dryandra. Ait. n. 9. 

 — Leaves linear, elongated, pinnatifid, rather abrupt ; fnow- 

 white beneath ; entire at the bafe, and tapering into a foot- 

 ftalk ; lobes triangular, decurrent, divaricated, recurved at 

 the margin. Calyx as long as the flowers, downy ; outer 

 fcales ovato-lanceolate. Corolla almoft as long as the ftyle ; 

 woolly at the bafe ; fmooth upwards ; (lightly filky at the 

 tips. Stem fmooth — Gathered by Mr. Brown, in heathy 

 ground at Lewin's land. It flowers at Kew from March 

 to May. 



12. T). pteridifolia. Brake-leaved Dryandra. Br. n. 12. 

 — Leaves deeply pinnatifid, longer than the downy ftem ; 

 lobes linear, acute, pointed, revolute, dilated at their bafe. 



Calyx-fcales downy, ovate Gathered by Mr. Brown, in 



Lewin's land, on the itony fides of hills. 



1^. T>. blechnifolia. Blechnum-leaved Dryandra. Br. n. 13. 

 — Leaves deeply pinnatifid, longer than the downy ftem ; 

 lobes linear, obtufe, flightly pointed, three-ribbed, fomewhat 

 revolute, fcarcely dilated at the bafe. — Gathered near King 

 George's found by Mr. Menzies, to whom we are obliged 

 for a fpecimen, without flowers, with which Mr. Brown 

 likewife was unacquainted ; but the refemblance of the plant 

 to the laft-defcribed, induced him to confider it as belonging 

 to the prefent genus. The fhort_^fm is clothed with denfe, 

 foft, rufty pubefcence. Leaves refembling a Cycas in tex- 

 ture, as well as form, though only a foot high ; the early 

 ones fmaller, with very broad rounded lobes, clothed beneath 

 with white woolly down ; the pubefcence of the more full- 

 grown leaf only, in our fpecimen, is become rufty.

DUCHESNEA, in Botany, a genus announced at the 

 end of our article Fragaria, and fince pubUftied in Tr. of 

 Linn. Soc. v. 10. 371. It was fuppofed to differ effentially 

 from Fragaria and Potentilla, (with both which the calyx 

 agrees, and with the latter more particularly the habit,) in 

 having the compound berry of a Rubus. Some garden 

 fpecimens have led us to fufpecl an error in botanifts who 

 have defcribed the ripe/ru;/, which in thofe fpecimens was 

 certainly 'that of Fragaria, a fucculent receptacle ftudded 

 with dry feeds. Whether the latter becomes pulpy at any 

 more advanced period, remains to be proved. Meanwhile 

 this plant ftands as F. indica, in Ait. Hort. Kew. v. 3. 273.

 DUEL. At the clofe, add — Duelling, fays a late ex- 

 cellent writer, in the modern fenfe of the word, exclufive 

 of cafual frays and fingle combats during war, was unknown 

 before the 1 6th century'. But we find one anecdote, which 

 feems to illuftrate its derivation from the judicial combat. 

 The dukes of Lancafter and Brunfwick, having fome dif- 

 ferences, agreed to decide them by duel before John, king 

 of France. The lifts were prepared wnth the folemnity of 

 a real trial by battle ; but the king interfered to prevent 

 the engagement. The barbarous practice of wearing fwords 

 as a part of domeftic drefs, which tended very much to the 

 frequency of dueUing, was not introduced till the latter part 

 of the 15th century. Our author fays, that he can find only- 

 one print in Montfaucon's Monuments of the French Mo- 

 narchy where a fword is worn without armour before the 

 reign of Charles VIII.; though a few as early as the reign 

 of Charles VI. have Ihort daggers in their girdles. Hallam's
