  This 
  South 
  African 
  proteaceous 
  shrub 
  has 
  been 
  listed 
  in 
  previous 
  issues 
  of 
  the 
  

   Inventories 
  as 
  Protea 
  mellifera 
  Thunberg 
  (Dissertatio 
  botanica 
  de 
  Protea, 
  1781, 
  p. 
  34). 
  

   In 
  establishing 
  the 
  genus 
  Protea 
  (Species 
  Plantarum, 
  1753, 
  p. 
  94) 
  Linnaeus 
  published 
  

   but 
  two 
  species, 
  P. 
  argentea 
  and 
  P.fusca. 
  Both 
  of 
  these 
  have 
  since 
  been 
  referred 
  to 
  

   the 
  genus 
  Leucadendron 
  of 
  Berg 
  (Handl. 
  Vet. 
  Akad. 
  Stockholm, 
  1766, 
  p. 
  325), 
  which, 
  

   however, 
  is 
  not 
  the 
  Leucadendron 
  of 
  Linnaeus 
  (Species 
  Plantarum, 
  1753, 
  p. 
  91), 
  the 
  

   type 
  of 
  which 
  is 
  L. 
  lepidocarpodendron. 
  In 
  his 
  Mantissa 
  (vol. 
  2, 
  1771, 
  p. 
  189) 
  Linnaeus, 
  

   however, 
  changed 
  his 
  conception 
  of 
  the 
  genus 
  Protea 
  to 
  include 
  his 
  Leucadendron 
  

   lepidocarpodendron. 
  This 
  has 
  resulted 
  in 
  the 
  confusion 
  and 
  ultimate 
  exact 
  exchange 
  

   of 
  name 
  between 
  the 
  two 
  genera 
  Protea 
  and 
  Leucadendron. 
  Since 
  the 
  plant 
  under 
  

   discussion 
  is 
  congeneric 
  with 
  Leucadendron 
  lepidocarpodendron 
  and 
  not 
  with 
  Protea 
  

   argentea, 
  the 
  type 
  of 
  the 
  genus 
  Protea, 
  it 
  is 
  necessary 
  to 
  retain 
  it 
  in 
  the 
  Linnaean 
  

   genus 
  Leucadendron. 
  This 
  was 
  recognized 
  in 
  1911 
  by 
  Mr. 
  W. 
  F. 
  Wight, 
  who 
  in 
  the 
  

   revised 
  edition 
  of 
  the 
  Century 
  Dictionary, 
  vol. 
  5, 
  p. 
  3422, 
  under 
  "Leucadendron," 
  

   published 
  the 
  name 
  Leucadendron 
  melliferum, 
  based 
  on 
  Protea 
  mellifera 
  Thunberg.
