three little {pines, and having feveral of the fame kind 
hooked upwards, in the margin, particularly towards 
the top. The young leaves are very downy. Flowers 
thick fet in a cylindrical ereét fpike, arifing from the 
divarications of the branches. Their common receptacle 
is cylindrical, rather obtufe, covered with clofely im- 
bricated downy fcales, fome of the lowermoft of which 
terminate in a long downy pointed arifta, and from 
among the reft the flowers come out in pairs. The 
{tructure of the flower is well expreffed in the annexed 
plate. We fufpect the fruit figured in Mr. White’s 
Voyage, page 225, fig. 1, may belong to this fpecies, 
but we have no pofitive authority to affert it. 
Our Bankjia fpinulofa differs from B. ericefolia of 
Linneus (Herd. Linn.) in having leaves at leaft four 
times as long, obtufe, but with a fmall central fharp point 
from the mid-rib between the other two terminal points, 
as well as in having a greater or leffer number of {mall 
fharp-hooked lateral teeth towards the end of each leaf. 
The natives of New South Wales call it Wattangre.
