(«) There is a figure in the Botanical Register, t. 688 (1823), of a flowering 
twig, without botanical details. This is the least satisfactory of the three drawings 
I quote, hut I have no doubt as to its being cemula.' The flower head is small, and 
the nodes between the leaves more elongated than usual. 
(&) B. undulata, Lindl. Bat. Reg. 1316 (1830). The leaves appear to me to 
he those of B. serrata, as are also the stigmas. 
In my copy the colouring of the flower-head is, however, rather yellow for 
that species, but I do not lay much stress on a hand-painted drawing, one of hundreds. 
I am of opinion that it represents B. serrata. Bentham (B.E1. v, 556) refers 
it to B. cemula. 
(c) B. cemula, t. 2671, Bot. Mag. (1826). This is undoubtedly cemula ; the 
size of the leaves and shape of serrations are excellent. The flowering head is 
coloured fairly in my copy (of course in these old works the colouring, being by hand, 
varies a little in different copies). 
Botanical Name. — Banlcsia, already explained (see Part VIII, p. 170) ; 
cemula, a Latin adjective, “ vieing with,” an allusion to its very close affinity to 
B. serrata. 
Vernacular Name. —Only called “ Honeysuckle,” as far as I am aware. 
Aboriginal Names.— “ Mintie ” of the Stradbroke Island natives (Watkins), 
and “ Wallum ” of those of Wide Bay, Queensland (E. Palmer), quoted by 
Bailey. 
Synonyms. —Tile synonymy of this plant is perplexing. Eirst of all we 
have B. cemula , R.Br. Trans. Linn. Soc., x, 209; also R.Br. Prod., 395. 
In the former work Brown quotes, as a doubtful synonym, B. serratifolia, 
Salisb. Prod. 51. He also doubtfully refers the B. serrata of White’s Voyage 222, 
tab. tertia, to B. cemula. 
In the latter work he adds another doubtful synonym, B. serrcefolia, Knight 
et Salisb. Prod. 112. 
Then we have B. elatior, B.Br. “ In Novae Hollandiae ora orientali; prope 
Sandy Cape; prope littora.”— Trans. Linn. Soc., x, 2*09. 
[N.B.—The title-page of this work gives the date 1811. Yet, inasmuch as 
Brown quotes his own paper on Proteaceae therein, in his Prodromus Nova 
Rollandice (1810 on the title-page), it is obvious that the paper in the Linn. 
Trans, is the older work.] 
Meisner in HO. Prod., xiv, 458, quotes B. elatior as a distinct species, and 
adds to Brown’s locality, “ Stradbroke, prope Moreton Bay (A. Cunn.).”
