 184 ON THE PROTEACE.E OF JUSSIEU.

inclined to consider it as the male of J ncqnms Protea fusci- Jlora already noticed.

Leucadendron.

Conocarpodendron ; folio tenuissinio, angustissimo, sa- ligno ; cono calyculato. Boerh. Lugd. Bat. 2, p. 203, c. tab.

This is probably a male plant, notwithstanding the figure of a ripe cone is given at the bottom of the plate ; the separate fruits of some of Boerhaave's figures belonging decidedly to very different species. It may be the male of Leucaden droit adscen dens.

Leucadendron ?

Protea odorata. Thunb. Prod. Append. 187. sis] There is no means of determining the genus of this plant, but it is rather more probably a Leucadendron than belonging to any other.

Leucadendron ? ?

Conocarpodendron; acaulon; folio rigido, nervoso, ob- longo, latiori ; cono fusco ; seraine oblongo, in medio quasi excavato. Boerh. Lugd. Bat. 2, p. 201, c. tab.

I know not what to make of this. If the strobilus and nuces at the bottom of the plate really belong to it, it must be referred to Leucadendron, and will stand near L. retusum or L. plumosum ; but there are some circumstances both in the figure and description which render this very doubtful. Thunberg refers it to his Protea strobilina, but the descrip- tions by no means agree.

Leucadendron ?

Scolymocephalus Oleae folio. Sherard, in Baj. Hist. 3, Bendr.p. 10.

This, according to Boerhaave, is his Conocarpodendron, &c. 2, p. 197, c. tab. which I have considered as the female of Leucadendro?i squarrosum.

Leucadendron ? ?
