opportunities of fludying them in their native land, has 
raifed to the rank of f{pecies. Even thus feparated from its 
parent Embothrium, Grevillea comprehends plants that differ 
greatly in appearance, and in fome fubordinate characters, 
trom each other, fo as to be commodioufly divided into two 
Principal fections, the firft of which is fub-divided into 
five fub-divifions, We thall give one example, or more, of 
each.
