 186 ON THE PROTEACEiE OF JUSSIEU.

220] MlMETES ?

Protea dichotomy. Lam. Illust. Gen. I, p. 235, n. 1219. Poiret, Encyc. Botan. h,p. 643. Probably a spurious Mimetes.

Serruria Bergii, capitulis simplicibus solitariis subpe- dunculatis, bracteis cuneiformibus truncatis cum acumine villosis : inferioribus glabris, calycibus curvatis sericeis, stigmate turbinato-capitato, raraulis foliisque glabris. Leucadendron sphserocephalum. Berg. Cap. 26.* This I have no hesitation in referring to Serruria; and from the description of the accurate Bergius I am disposed to think it distinct from any that I am acquainted with. It seems most nearly related to Serruria acrocarpa, differ- ing chiefly in the smoothness of its branches, and in having terminal heads.

Serruria.

Protea sphasrocephala. Houtt. Nat. Hist. par. 2, vol. 4, p. 99, t. 19,/. 1, ed. Germ, vol 3, /;. 72, t. 19.

Unquestionably a Serruria, and probably referable either to S. Jiirsuta or pedunculata.

Serruria.

Protea villosa. Thunb. Prod. Append. 186. A Serruria whose characters cannot be made out from the specific difference given by Thunberg.

Serruria.

Protea triternata. And. Repos. 337. This may be intended for S. congesta, but I cannot with confidence refer to it as such.

Serruria. 221] Protea abrotanifolia minor. And. Repos. 536.

Protea abrotanifolia hirta. And. Repos. 522.

Protea abrotanifolia odorata. And. Repos. 545.

These are manifestly Serruriae, but I do not venture to refer them to any of the species I have described ; nor are
