 ISO ON THE l'ROTEACE^E OF JUSSlfcU.

Banksia muscidiformis. Gcert. Sem. 1, p. 221. Lam. Ittust. Gen. \ 9 p. 242, n. 1280.

Fructus musculiformis. Humph. Amb. 2, p. 184, t. 60.

Gaertner has taken up this plant entirely from Rumpf's figure, and referred it to Banksia on account of its fruit containing according to that author two winged seeds. But from Rumpf's description, it appears that the whole plant is lactescent; hence it probably does not belong to this family, but rather to Apocineae, as Burmannus has already conjectured.

Cylindria. Lour. Cochin, ed. Willd. I, p. 86. 225] Both Willdenow and Ventenat have considered this genus as belonging to Proteaceae, with whose structure indeed the description of Loureiro in most respects well agrees. Mr. Konig, however, (Ann. of Bot. 1, p. 392,) assures us, on the authority of original specimens, that it is scarcely different from Olea, though Loureiro has character- ized it as having four bilocular antherae, included in the concave apices of the segments of the corolla; two circum- stances altogether incompatible with Oleinae, and which render it not improbable that the specimen sent to Sir Joseph Banks by the author was very different from that which he described.
