Banksia Poolii, sp. nov. 
Plate XIII, Figs. 2, 2a. 
Sp. Char. — B. foliis coriaceis oblongis (?) basi angustatis, margine 
minute spinuloso-denticulatis; nervatione mixta, brochido — et craspedodroma; 
nervo primario valido ; nervis secundariis tenuibus approximatis parallelis sub 
angulis 60-70° orientibus, subflexuosis, apice ramosis; nervis tertiariis axi 
folii longitudinali parallelis, tlexuosis, ramosis, inter se conjunctis ; rcte 
distincto, maculis subtetragonis. 
Ohs . — We have before us only a mere fragment of the leaf, represented 
in Pig. 2, yet showing all the characters of the leaves met with in Banksia. 
The species to which it pertains differs from the preceding one by its toothed 
borders by its secondary nerves, which are somewhat less thin, and produce 
loops near the margin, as well as by the tertiary nerves, which run in a 
longitudinal direction. The latter nerves and the network are represented in 
Pig. 2a, magnified. 
The type of the prominent network agrees with that of several Banksia, 
of which I especially selected by way of comparison B. littoralis, B. Brown.

Banksia Hovelli, sp. nov. 
Plate XII, Figs. 13, 13a, 14, 14a. 
Sjj. Char. — B. foliis coriaceis petiolatis, oblongo-lanceolatis, basi et 
apice attenuatis, margine spinuloso-serratis; nervatione mixta; nervo primario 
prominentc recto ; nervis secundariis subangulis 50-60° orientibus, tenuibus, 
arcuatis, approximatis, subparallclis, apice ramosis, partirn laqueos marginales 
formantibus, partim ad sinus tendentibus et craspedodromis ; nervis tertiariis 
abbreviate dictyodromis ; retc microsynammate prominente. 
Ohs. — Pig. 14 represents the top of a branclilet exhibiting three 
alternate leaves, and Pig. 13 a single leaf, showing a well-preserved nervation. 
The terminal hud is partly covered by the petiole of the uppermost leaf. The 
leaves being approximate, like those of all Banksia, are similar to those of 
Banksia collina, B. Brown, respecting texture, form, and nervation ; but the 
former are more narrowed towards the apex, and their secondary nerves are 
more curved. The described leaves differ from those of the preceding species
