I. Characters of a new Liliaceous Genus called Brodica. By James Edward Smith, M.D. F.R.S. P.L.S.
Read April 19, 1808.
I wave had occasion, in treating of the distinctions between a calyx and corolla, Introduction to Botany, 263, to. advert.:to a new genus of the liliaceous family, furnished with internal pe- tals. It consists of two species, both which I have received, in a dry state, from Mr. Menzies, who discovered them in 1792 in New Georgia on the west coast of North America. The same liberal friend, to whom the Linnean Society, as well as myself, has so often been obliged, perceiving I had, in the place above mentioned, fallen into an error respecting the number of the in- ternal petals, which are 3, not 6, bas favoured me with his ori- ginal drawings, made from living plants on the spot, with dis- sections. By these | am enabled better to understand the sub- ject than I could from dried specimens, which I had been un- willing to submit to the process of boiling and anatomizing, till I might have occasion to investigate them thoroughly for precise description. Hence the divided inner petals of one of them

misled me. Mr. Menzies at the same time has communicated a suggestion of Mr. Salisbury’s, that these supposed petals are barren filaments. It will appear, from the following characters and remarks, how far this idea is probable or not.
In the first place, as these plants form a most indubitable new genus, of the Liliaceous, or Patrician, order, I have called it Brodiea, after James Brodie, Esq. F.L.S., of Brodie in North Britain, a gentleman whose scientific merits, whose various dis- coveries, and whose liberal communications on every occasion tending to elucidate the botany of his country in particular, re- quire no elaborate display before the Linnean Society.

The three petal-like leaves, which crown the tube of the corolla in this genus, are, without doubt, analogous to the cup in Nar- cissus, the membranous expansion attached to the base of the stamens in Pancratium, and still more precisely to what Jussieu calls squamule, and Linneus nectarium, in Tulbaghia. I see no more reason to reckon them ‘ba en filaments i in one case than in the others ; though, if my Brodi a grandiflora were the only lilia- ceous plant furnished with th they might, with great appear- ance of probability, be taken’ . But Brodiea congesta guards us against this error, proaches a step nearer to Pancratium and Tulbaghia. ree genera indeed bear the same relationship to the other liliacee, that Gnidia, Struthiola and Quisqualis do to Daphne _the rest of its natural order. 1 If
4, Dr. Smirn’s Characters of a new Liliaceous Genus
If the petals of Gnidia prove Daphne to have a coloured calyx, these correspondent parts in the Liacee must receive correspon- dent names. Jussieu therefore is consistent when he denomi- nates the analogous part in the lliacee and in Daphne a calyx, and so is Linneus when he calls it in both instances a corolla; but the latter errs against all consistency and analogy when he terms calyx in Gnidia what he had, in the preceding page, named corolla in Daphne. Mr. Salisbury’s rule, given in the first paper of our 8th volume, that the stamens are never inserted into the calyx, is one of the best upon the subject, yet not with- out its difficulties, some of which, from a love of truth alone, I beg leave to suggest. If we admit this rule in rosaceous. flowers, and the more I have thought on the subject the more I feel disposed to do so, we can hardly allow it in Ribes, whose whole faded calyx, perfectly homogeneous and indivisible, sticks tothe top of the fruit, retaining the withered petals and sta- mens, which are together inserted into its sides. If we say ana- logy proves the lower half of this pretended calyx to be a recep- tacle, a similar mode of reasoning will prove the tube of Pan- cratium, Narcissus, Tulbaghia, and of my Brodiea to be a re- ceptacle also, the limb only being the calyx, and the crown @ corolla. If this be granted, the lower part of the corolla, as it is usually called, in Hemerocallis, Agapanthus, Amaryllis, Hya- cinthus, &c.; even the claws of such few, if any, polypetalous liliacee as really have their stamens inserted there, must also be a receptacle, and the upper part a calyx; which is too paradoxi- . cal to be allowed. I say nothing of the spatha belonging to some of these liliaceous genera, because even when present I do not think it can invalidate my argument. Their generic charac- ters are independent of it, as those of the wmbellifere are of their involucra and involucella. I have therefore, in describing the
called Brodiea. 5
the Brodigze, used the word bracteé instead of spathe, as more agreeable to. nature.
These difficulties do not trouble the generality of practical botanists; but theoretical ones, before they can found new ge- nera, or even understand the old ones to any purpose, are, and always have been, obliged to consider them, and may be glad of any suggestions on subjects concerning which the chief leaders in botany have never agreed together, nor scarcely been consistent with themselves. I am persuaded the line of discrimination betwixt a calyx and corolla is, in many cases, not to be drawn, for this plain reason, that Naturé in such cases unites both the parts into one, the inner surface performing the functions of a corolla, the outer those of a calyx. This is a suggestion of Linnzus, but he has not illustrated it so fully as it deserves. I need not repeat here what is already before the public in another place, Introduction to Botany, 264, 266, and 267; nor shall I now add any thing more than a wish, that a subject so interesting to the physiological as well as the systema- tical botanist might be pursued by both to their mutual as- sistance.

Read November 1, 1808. ‘
Dear Sir,
I sxe.leave through your hands to welcome my brethren of the Linnean Society on their first meeting for the ensuing season, and to communicate at the same time an article of botanical intelligence rather interesting to those who are solicitous about natural genera, as well as to those who have endeavoured to ascertain the plants of ancient Greek authors.
Jacquin in his Hortus Vindobonensis, v. 1. 35. ¢. 81, has de- scribed and figured a plant by the name of Sempervioum sedi- forme, which subsequent compilers of botanic systems have im- plicitly adopted by that name. It has even found its way into the Hortus Kewensis, v. 2. 149, being far from uncommon in the English gardens, where it flowers copiously every summer in the open ground. The excellent author above mentioned remarks, that “the appearance of its leaves” (he might have said its whole habit) “is that of a Sedum,” but that “the flower has “ exactly the character of a Sempervivum, the petals being 6 or “©'7, with broad bases, and an equal number in the parts of “ the calyx, as well as the germens, and double the number of “stamens.” He also asserts that “there are no nectariferous
“ scales.”
‘The
Dr. Smitn’s Remarks on the Sedum ochroleucum. 7
The plant has so entirely the appearance of a Sedum and not of a Sempervivum, and I have always thought those genera so natural, and so well marked by the technical character of nec- tariferous scales at the base of the germen in the former, which the latter wants, that I have often regretted to read Jacquin’s account, which I presumed was correct. But meeting with this plant in Dr. Sibthorp’s Greek herbarium, it became necessary to investigate its characters myself. In the winter time I could only examine one of his specimens by means of hot water; but there, to my great! satisfaction, I found the nectariferous scales as evident as in any Sedum whatever; and on dissecting living flowers last summer in my garden, the same character was every where obvious. Jn number of parts indeed this flower wanders a little from the character of that genus, and from its class De- candria, having often, when cultivated, as many petals, sta- mens and pistils as Jacquin describes, or even more, though this is chiefly the case in the first flowers of the cyme, and not so much in the external ones. I have therefore introduced the plant in question into the second part of the Prodromus Flore Grace, p. 312, by the name of
SepUM OCHROLEUCUM,
foliis glaucis sparsis acutis: inferioribus teretibus; superioribus ellipticis depressis, laciniis calycinis acutiusculis.
It is curious that Linnzus, in a manuscript note, has referred this plant of Jacquin to his own Sedum rupestre, a very different species, which he had &dopted from Dillenius’s Hortus Eltham- ensis; see Engl. Bot. t. 170 and ¢. 1802.
Dr. Sibthorp, who was well acquainted with his learned friend Jacquin’s plant, mentions it in his papers as one of the most

common species in various parts of the continent of Greece, as well as in almost all the Greek islands, growing on rocks and walls near the sea-side. At Athens it is pounded and applied as a cooling cataplasm to bruises or to gouty limbs, being called Koaraweida by the Athenians of the present day. Its most general names however in modern Greek are Awégarro and Yrapvran. The three species of AsZwov or Sempervivum in Dioscorides seem to have been misunderstood. The Ist, Asoo ro weya, hi- therto taken by Matthiolus and others for the Common House- leek, Sempervivum tectorum, is justly referred by Dr. Sibthorp, as well as Clusius, to Sempervivum arboreum, with which the de- scription of Dioscorides, more full than usual, most admirably agrees, and not at all with the ¢ectorum. The 2d, AsZwov ro paxeov, or Sempervivum minus, was taken by Matthiolus for Sedum album, and by Dr. Sibthorp, not without much doubt, for Sem- pervivum hirtum; but I have no scruple at all in referring it to my present Sedum ochroleucum, a plant probably not known to Matthiolus. Dioscorides says “it grows on walls, stones and “ banks, as well as about shady enclosures. Several slender “stems,” he adds, “ spring from one root, thickly encompassed with little round succulent sharp-pointed leaves. It throws out, moreover, a stem towards the middle, about a span high, with an umbel of slender (greenish or) pale yellowish flowers. Its leaves have the same virtues with the former.”—The virtues alluded to of “ the former,” or Sempervivum arboreum, are cool- ‘ing and astringent ; whence Dioscorides recommends that plant in inflammatory eruptions and the gout, for which the Sedum ochroleucum is used at present, as mentioned above. The 3d, Aewov éregov, which is described as “ heating, acrid “ and exulcerating, with very small thick leaves,’ seems to be Sedum acre, as Matthiolus and Clusius judged, though Dr. Sib- thorp

thorp took it for our Sedum ochroleucum, on the authority of a figure in the celebrated Imperial manuscript of Dioscorides at Vienna, which he considered as of great authority. The quali- ties however recorded of this 3d AsQwv are quite at variance with those which Dr. Sibthorp himself attributes to the Sedum — ochroleucum, and which agree with those ascribed by Dioscorides to his second species.

III. A Determination of Three British Species of Juncus, with jointed Leaves. By the Rev. Hugh Davies, F.L.S.
Read November 1, 1808.
Iy the course of a morning’s walk having been fortunate in an opportunity of examining the knotty-leaved division of the ge- nus Juncus, by finding all the species on nearly the same spot, I am induced to request leave to lay before the Linnean Society the result of my observations.
Here then I must premise, that the want of an opportunity of examining them in a proper state, and comparing them together, I take to have been the cause that what seem to me to be di- stinct species have been treated as varieties only, by men of eminence in the science of botany.
Jn consequence of the attention which I bestowed on them, I am*much inclined to suppose that I can determine into three very distinct species, what have been deemed two varieties only of the species J. articulatus, Linn. Sp. Pl., Sm. Fl. Brit., and Leers Fl. Herborn.; but are considered as two species, indeed, by Dr. Sibthorp, viz. compressus and nemorosus ; and two species, likewise, by Mr. Relhan, viz. compressus and articulatus.
My three species I shall at present distinguish as FIRST, SE- coNnb, and THIRD. 8
In the rrrst the branches of.the panicle are strong, erect, fewer, and less diffuse than in the other two; the capsule is large, of a deep reddish brown colour, and finely glossed; of
an
Mr. Davizs’s Determination of Three British Species of Juncus. 11
an oval triangular shape, terminated by a short blunt point; the stalk of 4—6 joints.
This is Juncus articulatus, Fl. Brit., Fl. Herborn.; and com- pressus of Sibthorp and Relhan. Moris. s. 8. t. 9..f. 2. Scheuchz. $31.4. R. Syn. 433. 8. but I cannot refer to the Sp. P/., where the definition is petalis obtusis.
In the seconp the panicle is more branched, the branches more slender, and spreading, the divisions of the calyx nar- rower and longer, the capsule smaller, much more taper-pointed, and Jighter-coloured; culm of fewer joints, that, and the leaves, less compressed. It is a taller plant, sometimes above three feet high, and it ripens later.
This I take to be Moris. s. 8. ¢.9. f. 1. certainly Scheuchzer, p- 334. 4. who says: “ Calami tribus quatuorve communiter ge- niculis distincti,—Flosculi nunc dilutids nunc obscurids fusci aut spadicei,—Vasculum seminale triquetrum, in acutum mu- cronem terminatum.” It is likewise J. articulatus of Relhan; and nemorosus of Sibthorp.. ‘
My rurrp differs from both the former in several particulars: —The panicle is much lighter-coloured ; the peduncles, which are divaricated, and even bent back, are evidently thicker than those of the seconp, the panicle of which resembles this more than that of the rrrst. Then the smallest capsule of this ;—the pale-coloured bunches of florets,—and particularly the elliptic obtuse segments of the calyx, with a broad scariose margin, fully distinguish it from the other two. It is, besides, a firmer plant, the nodes in the leaves being scarcely perceptible with- out a considerable degree of pressure ;—the culm and leaf are quite round, and it never has more than two joints in the stalk!
I find no description of this species besides the short one in Fl. Brit. articulati var. 8. “ culmo erectiore, panicula ramosiori,
c2 tloribus
12 Mr. Davies’s Determination of
floribus minoribus, pallidioribus et obtusioribus.” At the same time I cannot admit it to be these following, which are there re- ferred to, viz. Moris. s. 8. ¢. 9. f. 1. nor Relhan’s articulatus, who gives his from Leers, petala acutissima. Nor is it R. Syn 433. No. 9. entirely ;—it is Doody’s plant there mentioned, which he tells us he found in Peckham-field, “cum glumis albis.” Jt may, by the definition, be Haller’s plant, No. 1523, < foliis tere- tibus articulatis, panicula repetito-ramosa ;” but his description evidently comprehends the seconp as well as this. Withering’s 5th var. of articulatus, p. 347. “ husks white,” seems to be this plant.
These references prove that this species has not hitherto escaped notice; but I wonder that the character, from whence I was inclined to take its trivial name, has not been noted by any writer I have seen !
As I wished to avoid the confusion which naturally arises from repeatedly changing names, my design was to have named the three species ;—the First, compressus; the sECcoND, nemo- rosus—both after Dr. Sibthorp; and my ruairn, divaricatus—a trivial appellation which I think particularly suitable to it.
I communicated this my idea, of three species, to my respected friend Dr. Smith, who gave it as his opinion that they ought to be separated, and that the same thought had occurred to Ehr- hart, who has made three species of them, under the following names :—lampocarpus, (my FIRST); acutiflorus, (my SECOND); obtusiflorus, (my THIRD); which accord exactly with my, no- tion. .
These names I now adopt; and, as I have not seen Ehrhart’s definitions, I define them as follows.

No. 76. cis foliolis ellipticis obtusis, capsula ovato-acu- minata triquetra, culmo bifolio !
The capsules of lampocarpus are by much the largest; those of acutiflorus are evidently larger, and, more elongated, than those of obtusiflorus ; (i. e.) the largest and strongest plant bears the smallest capsule.
The branches of the panicle in lampocarpus are sometimes but once divided, but frequently twice, and even thrice, as well as in the two other species. :
When lampocarpus happens, from some: accidental cause, to flower late in the season, so as not to perfect its large and po- lished capsules, it may be distinguished by a disposition to be-
come
14 Mr. Davies’s Determination of Three British Species of Juncus.
come viviparous, and branching at the joints,—a property which I never observed in either of the other two species.
Another character,whereby obtusiflorus may be known, even at a distance, is, that where it is found in any plenty, a number of the panicles are frequently seen entangled together, so as not
easily to be disengaged ; this proceeds from the extreme divari- cation of the branches of the panicle.

IV. On the Proteacee of Jussieu. By Mr. Robert Brown, Lib. L.S.
Read Jan. 17, 1809.
Tue Linnean system of botany, though confessedly artificial, has not only contributed more than all others to facilitate the knowledge of species, but, by constantly directing the attention to those essential parts of the flower on which it is founded, has made us acquainted with more of their important modifications than we probably should have known, had it not been generally adopted, and has thus laid a more solid foundation for the esta- blishment of a natural arrangement, the superior importance of which no one has been more fully a with than Linneus himself.
There are still, however, certain circumstances respecting the stamina and pistilla, which appear to me to have been much less attended to than they deserve, both by Linnzus and succeeding botanists. What I chiefly allude to is the state of these organs before the expansion of the flower. The utility of ascertaining the internal condition of the ovarium before foecundation will hardly be called in question, now that the immortal works of Gertner and Jussieu have demonstrated the necessity of minutely studying the fruits of plants in attempting to arrange them ac- cording to the sum of their affinities, as in many cases the true nature of the ripe fruit, especially with respect to the placenta- tion of the seeds, can only be determined by this means. Its importance is indeed expressly inculcated by many botanists,

who, however, have frequently neglected it in practice: nor do I find any one who has steadily kept it in view, except Aubert Du Petit-Thouars in his excellent work on the plants of Mada~- gascar and the Isles of France and Bourbon.
The bursting of the antherz has, it is true, been generally observed, and many of its most unusual modes have been in- troduced into the characters of genera; but the examination of these organs, at a still earlier period, has been universally neg- lected; and hence the very imperfect knowledge which, even now, is possessed of their real nature in two of the most re- markable families of plants, the Orchidee and Asclepiadee.
Examples of the great advantage of observing the antheree in this early stage will hereafter be given in my general remarks on the order which is the proper subject of this essay. But I trust I shall be pardoned for here introducing some account of their structure in Asclepiadex, as it will enable me not only to brmg forward the most striking proof of the importance of this consi- deration with which I am acquainted, but also, as I apprehend, to decide a question which has long occupied, and continues to’ divide, the most celebrated botanists.
The point in dispute is whether this order, comprehending Asclepias, Cynanchum, Pergularia, Stapelia, and several genera, at present confounded with these, ought to be referred to Pentan- dria or Gynandria, and, if to the latter, whether the anther are to be considered as five or ten; all of which opinions have had advocates of the greatest name in the science.
According to Linneus, Jussieu and Richard they belong to Pentandria.
Linneus has assigned no reason for his opinion, which, how- ever, it appears he retained after he became acquainted with the observations of Jacquin and Rottboell; but it is probable he

was induced to adopt it more from the consideration of the close analogy these plants have with the manifestly pentandrous Apocinee, than from regarding them as strictly referable to this class ; for, in his natural generic characters of Asclepias and Pergu- laria, he very clearly describes both these genera as gynandrous.
Jussieu has entered more fully into the subject, but seems also to have been chiefly guided by this analogy and the observations of others; as he concludes by expressing his doubts, respecting both the origin and use of the parts.
_ Richard, whose description of these organs I find in Persoon’s Synopsis, has indeed come nearer to the solution of the question; his account, however, of the origin of the lateral processes here- after mentioned, proves that this description was not altogether formed on actual observation.
Jacquin, ‘the first botanist that submitted these plants to mi- nute examination, and whose figures well illustrate most points of their structure, has adopted a very different opinion, referring them to Gynandria, in which he is followed by Koelreuter, Rottboell and Cavanilles, all of whom likwise agree with him in considering them as decandrous; while Dr. Smith, in his late valuable Introduction to Botany, who conceives that “ no plants can be more truly gynandrous,” regards them as having only five anthere. And lastly Desfontaines supposes the five glands of the stigma to be the true antherz, considering the attached masses of pollen as mere appendages to these.
All the authors who thus refer them to Gynandria seem quite confident in the justness of their views; and yet the inspection of a single flower bud overturns, as it appears to me, with irre- sistible evidence, the conclusion they had formed from premises apparently so satisfactory.
My attention, while in New Holland, having been much en- VOL. x. D gaged

gaged by the plants of this family, the species in that continent being both numerous and with difficulty reducible to established genera: I there observed the following facts concerning them, all of which I have, since my return to England, confirmed by the examination of different species of the same tribe.
The observations of Jacquin on this subject being generally known, it must be unnecessary to enter into a minute description of those organs which are well exhibited by his figures in every respect, except as to the origin of the supposed antherz.
Ifa flower bud of any plant of this family, while scarcely half the size it attains immediately before expansion, be carefully examined, it will be found that the polleniferous sacs, as they are termed by Jacquin and his followers, in which they suppose the anthere to be merely immersed, are really the organs by which the foecundating matter is secreted: for at this period they are perfectly closed, and consequently all communication cut off between the stigma and their contents now consisting of a turbid fluid or pulpy mass. If the stigma be at the same time observed, the gland-like bodies which originate in its grooved angles are already visible; but, instead of having the cartilaginous or horny texture which they at length acquire, are as yet semi-fluid, and of hardly a determinate form. ‘Near’ the base of each side of these grooves a more superficial depression is observable, which, though in some cases extremely short, is'in others of considerable length, and generally forms a right angle with the corresponding groove. In these depressions, the processes by which, at a more advanced stage, the contents of the antherze are connected with the stigma, are immersed, and at this period they are found to be semi-fluid. By degrees the glands, as well as their lateral processes, acquire a firmer consistence, and the inferior or outer extremity of each of the processes, being extended beyond its de-
pression

pression or furrow, on the bursting of the opposite cell of the corresponding anthera, firmly attaches itself to its contents, now become a regular mass of a waxy consistence.
If the accuracy of this:statement be admitted, it will probably be allowed that the Asclepiadee cannot be regarded as gynan- drous, especially in the sense in which they are so considered by botanists; but Jest it should not be thought completely satisfac- tory, it: may be added, that, in a still earlier’stage of the flower bud I bave found the foecundating matter already. secreted -in the cells of the anther, while the glands of the stigma, as well as their processes, were absolutely) invisible.
»oAs to the question of their being pentandrous or Jeusedneiss every ‘analogy;must lead: us, to refer them to the former class ; nor indeed have they, when not considered as. gynandrous, been ever supposed to belong to Decandria.
| An ‘eeconomy, in'many respects similar to that now Secale obtains also in Orchidew,, in which, ,however, the processes con= necting the anther with the stigma, where they exist, are in many cases derived from the masses of pollen themselves ;. but in others they as) seat nyse from the mri or its glandular appendage:.)
The result of my wera ri of nari two interesting orders of plants, I hope ‘hereafter to submit to the Society; and I now proceed to the proper subject of the present paper.
The natural order of Protem, or, as it is. less exceptionably called, Proreacex, was first established in the Genera Planta- rum of the celebrated Jussieu ; and the description there prefixed to it will, with a few alterations, still apply to the order, now that .it has received so many additions, not only. in species, but in very distinct genera, several of which were first published by ‘ D2 Dr. Smith
20 Mr. Brown, on the Proteaceae of Jussieu.
Dr. Smith, in the 4th vol. of the Society’s Transactions, and others are in the present paper submitted to the consideration of botanists.
The general description and definition of the order will be most advantageously placed at the head of its systematic arrange- ment; before entering upon which, I shall offer some remarks on its geographical distribution, and likewise on such modi- fications of structure in the different organs as appear to be of the greatest importance in indicating or characterizing genera.
The geography of plants being as yet in its infancy; the smallest addition to our knowledge of a subject which promises to become of considerable importance, will probably be received with indulgence; and in this persuasion I venture to make the following observations on the order before us. In the first place; it is remarkable that the ProrEacex are almost entirely confined to the southern hemisphere. ‘This observation originated with Mr. Dryander, and the -few exceptions hitherto known to it, occur considerably within the tropic. ‘The fact is the more de- serving of notice, as their diffusion is very extensive in the southern hemisphere, not merely in latitude and longitude, but also in elevation; for they are not only found to exist im all the great southern continents, but seem to be generally, though very unequally, spread over their different regions: they have been observed also in the larger islands of New Zealand and New Caledonia; but hitherto neither in any of the lesser ones, nor in Madagascar. As in America, they have been found in Terra del Fuego, in Chili, Peru, and even Guiana, it is reasonable to conclude that the intermediate regions are not entirely destitute of them. But with respect to this continent, it may be observed, that the number of species seems to be comparatively small, their
organization but little varied; and further, that they have a much
Mr. Brown, on the Proteacee of Jussieu. 21
much greater affinity with those of New Holland than of Africa. ;
Of the botany of South Africa, scarce any thing is known, except that of the Cape of Good Hope, where this family occurs in the greatest abundanee and variety ; but even from the single fact of a genuine species of Protea having been found in Abys- sinia by Bruce, it may be presumed, that in some degree they are also spread over this continent.
With the shores, at least, of New Holland, under which I include Van Diemen’s Island, we are now somewhat better ac- quainted, and in every known part of these, Proteacez have been met with.
But it appears that, both in Africa and. New Holland, the great mass of the order exists about the latitude of the Cape of Good Hope; in which parallel it forms a striking featuré in the vegetation of both continents.
What I am about to advance repecting the probable distribu- tion of this family in New Holland, must be very cautiously re-' ceived ; as it is in fact chiefly deduced from the remarks I have myself made in captain Flinders’s Voyage, and subsequently d uring my short stay in the settlements of New South Wales and Van Diemen’s Island, aided by what was long ago ascertained by Sir Joseph Banks, and by a very transitory inspection of an herba- rium collected on the west coast, chiefly in the neighbourhood of Shark’s Bay, by the botanists attached to the expedition of captain Baudin. | q - From knowledge so acquired I am inclined to hazard the fol- lowing observations. '
The mass of the order, though extending through the whole of the parallel already. mentioned, is by no means equal in every part of it; but on the south-west coast forms a more decided
feature

feature in the vegetation of the country, and contains a far greater number of species than on the east:—and in that part of the south coast, which was first examined by captain Flinders, it seems to be more scanty than at either of the extremes.
On the west coast also, the species upon the wholeare more simi- lar to those of Africa than on the east, where they bear asomewhat greater resemblance to the American portion of the order.
From the parallel of the mass, the order diminishes in both directions; but the diminution towards the north is probably more rapid on the east than on the west coast.
Within the tropic, on the east coast, no genera have ai been observed, which are not also found beyond it; unless that section of Grevillea, which I have called Cycloptere, be considered asa genus. Whereas at the southern limit of the order several genera make their appearance, which do not occur.in its chief paraliee
The most numerous genera are also the most widely diffused. Thus Grevillea, Hakea, Banksia, and Persoonia, extensive in species in the order in which they are here mentioned, are spread nearly in the same proportion; and they are likewise the only | genera that have as yet been observed within the tropic.
Of such of the remaining genera, as consist of several species, some, as Isopogon, Petrophila, Conospermum, and Lambertia, are found in every part of the principal parallel, but hardly exist beyond it. Others, as Josephia and Synaphea, equally limited to this parallel, have been observed only towards its western ex~- tremity ; while Embothriwm (comprehending for the present un- der this name all the many-seeded plants of the order), which is chiefly found on the east coast, and makes very little progress towards the west, advances to the utmost limit of south latitude, and there ascends to the summits of the highest mountains.
Genera
Mr. Brown, on the Proteaceae of Jussiew. 23
Genera consisting of one or very few species, and which ex- hibit generally the most remarkable deviations from the usual structure of the order, are the most local, and are found either in the principal parallel, or in the highest latitude.
The range of species in the whole of the order seems to be very limited ; and the few cases which may be considered as ex- ceptions to this, occur in the most extensive genera, and in such of their species,as are most strictly natives of the shores. Thus Banksia integrifolia, which grows more within the influence of the sea than any plant of the order, is probably also the most widely extended, at least in one direction, being found within . the tropic, and in as high a latitude as 40°. It is remarkable, however, that with so considerable a range in latitude, its ex- tension in longitude is comparatively small: and it is still more worthy of notice, that no species of this famil y has been found common to the eastern and western shores of New Holland.
The celebrated traveller Humboldt is the first who has. ex- pressly pointed out a remarkable difference in the distribution of the species of plants. is}
He observes that, while the greater number grow irregularly scattered and mixed with each other, there are some which form considerable masses, or even’ extensive tracts, to the nearly ab- solute exclusion of other species. Of plants growing thus in society, the greater number occur in the temperate zones ; and of these, the most decided instances will readily present them- selves to every botanist. I venture to add, that such as exist within the tropic, are found, either at considerable heights or on the sea-shores,
To this class very few of the Proteacez can be said to belong. Protea argentea of Linnzus is the most striking example among
the

the African species; and my friend Mr. Ferdinand Bauer has observed a similar tendency in Protea mellifera.
Among the New Holland species, Banksia speciosa is the sole instance, and even that only in certain circumstances, of this manner of growth.
The favourite station of Proteacee is in dry stony exposed places, especially near the shores, where they occur also, though more rarely, in loose sand. Scarcely any of them require shelter, and none a good soil. <A few are found in wet bogs, or even in shallow pools of fresh water; and one, the Embothrium ferrugi- neum of Cavanilles, grows, according to him, in salt marshes.
Respecting the height to which plants of this order ascend, a few facts are already known. The authors of the Flora Peruviana mention, in general terms, several species as being alpine ; and Humboldt, in his valuable Chart of Aquinoctial Botany, has given the mean height of Embothrium emarginatum about 9300 feet, assigning it a range of only 300 feet. On the summits of the mountains of Van Diemen’s Island, in about 43° south lati- tude, at the computed height of about 4000 feet, I have found species of Embothrium, as well as other genera hitherto observed in no other situation. Embothrium, however, as it is the most southern genus of any extent, so it is also, as might have been presumed, the most alpine of the family.
Two genera only of this order are found in more than one continent: Rhopala, the most northern genus, which, though chiefly occurring in America, is to be met with also in Cochirt china and in the Malay Archipelago; and Embothrium, the most southern genus of any extent, is common to New Holland and America.
From
Mr. Brown, on the Proteacee of Jussieu. 25
From this account of the geographical distribution of the Proteacexw, I proceed to make some general remarks on the structure and modifications of their different parts. ‘The order, which consists of shrubs of the most rigid nature, or of trees of moderate size, contains also one herbaceous plant, my Symphio- nema paludosum, which however, except in this respect and in the union of the tops of its filaments, does not remarkably differ from the usual structure of the family.
The pubescence, which is very general in the order, consists either of a short and in many cases nearly impalpable tomentum, or of soft hairs which are either spreading, close pressed, or somewhat crisped, generally simple, but in some genera fixed by the middle, and in a very few cases glandular.
The existence or absence of pubescence in the adult leaves cannot always be depended upon in distinguishing species ; but the short tomentum, especially of their under surface, is of - greater consequence than the spreading hairs. In the bractee more reliance may be placed on it, and in the different parts of , the flower I have never hesitated to employ it in my specific characters. In the calyx I have even derived the greatest ad- vantage in some difficult. genera, especially Serruria, from at- tending to its differences in direction.
Mr. Salisbury has introduced the pubescence of fruit into se- veral of his generic characters, and in some I think with evi- dent advantage, but in such only as where from its abundance and length it performs a function of manifest importance in assist- ing dissemination: hence I conceive it may be safely admitted into the characters of Protea and Isopogon; but I can perceive no advantage whatever in employing it in those of Serruria and Spatalla. For this reason too it ought not to be used in the capsular or drupaceous genera, in which indeed experience

proves it to be of no further moment than in distinguishing species.
Dr. Smith has given it as his opinion, that from the disposition of leaves in New Holland plants no conclusion can safely be drawn as to their genera. This remark however appears to me only applicable to certain families, or rather genera; for in many tribes the plants of that country are altogether as constant in their leaves as in any other part of the world. In proof of this, it may be sufficient to mention the order Rubiacee; and there are many others in which I find nothing at all remarkable in this respect.
As to Proteacee, it must be acknowledged that in Banksia both verticillated and scattered leaves occur; but the leaves constantly in threes in Lambertia seems to me a circumstance of even greater importance than the number of flowers in the in- volucrum; and the opposite leaves of Xylomelum distinguish it at once both from Rhopala and Hakea.
Although the form and divisions of leaves in the order are va- riable in no common degree, yet there are certain genera, both among those of Africa and New Holland, which the leaves even in these respects assist in indicating. Thus, in that genus to which I have applied the name of Protea (the Erodendrum of Mr. Salisbury), and I believe also in my Leucadendron, there is no instance of a divided or toothed leaf; thus also the leaves of Spatalla are filiform and undivided, and those of Serruria fili- form and almost always pinnatifid. ‘Their dichotomous divisions in Simsia and Franklandia are still more characteristic ; and their division and remarkable reticulation readily distinguish Suerte from Conospermum.
The inflorescence in Proteacee, whatever use botanists may think proper to make of it in their generic characters, is of un-
doubted
Mr. Brown, on the Proteacee of Jussieu. 27
doubted importance in determining genera, and even in the pri- mary division of the order it appears to be of nearly equal con- sequence with the fruit itself; for, in dividing the order into two sections from the.structure of the ovarium, it will be found that while all the single-seeded genera have each flower subtended by a proper bractea, or more rarely are without one, those with two or more seeds have, with very few exceptions, the flowers of their spikes or elusters disposed in pairs, each pair being furnished with only one bractea common to both flowers: it may also be observed that all the American and two thirds of the New Holland species have this mode of inflorescence, while only one instance of it occurs in Africa. The single envelope of the stamina and pistillum in Proteacex I have, with Jussieu, denominated catyx, chiefly because the stamina, of equal number with its laciniz, are constantly op- posite to them, and from the close analogy subsisting between this family and that of Thymelez, in which I believe the greater number of botanists will allow that this envelope is really calyx: and as this latter argument may be considered as the stronger, I shall endeavour to establish the identity of this or- gan in these two families. In several of the Thymelea, especially in Punelea, the lower part of the tube of the calyx is, as it were, jointed with the upper; after the falling off of which, it remains surrounding the fruit: this is also the case in several genera of Proteacez, as in Aidenanthos of Labillardiere, in Isopogon, in Gre- villea Chrysodendron, and still more remarkably in Franklandia, in which the persistent tube becomes indurated and even nearly woody, a change surely not likely to take place in a genuine corolla. But though I have thusadopted the language of Jussieu, IT am decidedly of opinion that, in all families having a single en- E2 velope,
28 Mr. Brown, on the Proteacee of Jussieu. ; velope, it will be still better to call it perianthium or perigonium, which latter term was proposed by Ehrhart, and is adopted BF Decandolle.
A circumstance meriting the attention of the theoretical bota- nist, respecting the calyx in this order, is its invariable division into four leaves or segments; for the single exception noted by Linneus in his description of the male flowers of Brabejum, he himself seems afterwards to have distrusted, from the manner in which he has introduced it into the amended generic character given in the Mantissa; and I may add, that in nearly 400 species of the order, which I have examined, I have not met with a single exception to this rule.
With this uncommon constancy in point of number, it is re- markable that there is, in the whole order, a strong tendency to irregularity in form, the various kinds of which are of great im- portance in characterizing genera.
Before the expansion of the calyx the margins of its segments are applied to each other; and from the unequal degrees of co- hesion in many cases subsisting among them after expansion, se- veral kinds of irregularity arise. I am not sure that any term: has been contrived for this manner of estivation, except it be the estivatio valvata of Linneus; but as he has not defined it, and as his commentator Reuss has given the very different estivation of grasses as an example, I have, in introducing this circumstance into the general description of the order; specified it at length.
From the colour of the calyx, many genera of Proteacex are indicated with tolerable certainty. Thus Synaphea is distinguished from Conospermum by its yellow flowers; and no instance of yellow flowers has been met with in the numerous genera Serruria and Spatalla, nor any of purple in Leucadendron. In some ge-
nera
Mr. Brown, on the Proteacee of Jussiéu. 29
nera however, as in Banksia and Isopogon, it is evidently of very little importance.
The fleshy or scale-like bodies, which surround the ovarium in the greater number of plants of this family, are in many cases so manifestly secreting organs, that it is surprising Mr. Salisbury should hesitate in considering them as nectaria, and denominate them calli; a term which excludes the idea of secretion. But whatever their functions may be, great assistance may certainly be derived from their various modifications, in distinguishing ge- nera. Their importance however in this respect, like that~of all other parts, not only in this, but, as I apprehend, in every natural family, is very unequal, and in some cases seems to be entirely lost. Thus, in the genus Leucadendron as it is here constituted, they are wanting in several species, and in some I am inclined to think exist only in the males.
In most of the regular-flowered genera they are four in number, and alternate with the leaves or laciniz of the calyx. In ‘these genera they are also generally in the form of succulent scales, distinct, or more rarely cohering at their base, and in a very few instances adhering to the calyx; but in Persoonia they are nearly round and fleshy, and in Bellendena, Symphionema, Simsia, Agastachya, Petrophila, and feapogen, they are entirely wanting,
In the irregular-flowered genera with two or many seeds their number is less than four, in most cases only one exists, in a few others three, and in some none.
_ Varieties in the structure or apparent origin of the stamina, afford, as might be expected, important generic characters. Their usual insertion in the order is in the concave tops of the lacinie of the calyx ;. all considerable deviations from which may safely be employed in characterizing genera. In this way Rho-

30 Mr. Brown, on the Proteaceae of Jussieu.
pala, Xylomelum, and Lambertia are readily distinguished from Embothrium, Grevillea, and Hakea; and thus also Persoonza and Brabejum remarkably differ from Gevuina; while Bellendena differs from all others in having its stamina distinct from the calyx, affording however an indication of the real origin of these organs in the whole family.
The deviations from the usual structure of anrHEeR# in this order are not many; but some of them are of so singular a nature as to constitute the essential characters of the genera in which they take place. These genera are Simsia, Conospermum, and Synaphea, all of which are most truly syngenesious; for not only do their anthere firmly cohere together, but the corresponding lobes of these being, when considered separately, entirely open, are so applied to each other as to form but one cell, without a trace of any intermediate membrane. In Simsza the four antherz are perfect, each consisting, as in the rest of the order, of two lobes, and therefore the whole before bursting constitute four cells. Whereas in Conospermum and Synaphea one filament is entirely barren, the two lateral ones have each a single-lobed ~ anthera, and the fourth alone is perfect: hence before bursting the whole form only two cells.
This remarkable structure, which can only be ascertained be- fore the opening of the calyx, necessarily escaped Dr. Smith in describing his Conospermum, for I conclude he had only the ex- panded flower before him, and the appearance of the anther in this state after their separation justifies him in referring the genus to Tetrandria: but according to the view now given of its struc- ture, it can have no other pretension to a place in this class than its belonging to Proteacez ; and the order Syngenesia Monogamia being abolished, it must be referred to Triandria.
The only remaining anomaly in these parts occurs in Frank-
landia,
Mr. Brown, on the Proteacee of Jussieu. 31
landia, and consists in the anthera, or rather that portion of the filament on which itis fixed, adhering to the calyx through its whole length.
The figure of the porLEeN has been attended to by a few theo- retical, but by hardly any practical botanists ; yet I am inclined to think, not only from its consideration in this family, but in many others, that it may be consulted with advantage in fixing our notions of the limits of genera: and though its minuteness may perhaps always exclude it from a place in generic characters, yet it well deserves, to use the words of Linneus when speaking of habit, to be * occulte consulendus.”
Its usual figure in the order is triangular with secreting angles, a beautiful contrivance for insuring impregnation in a tribe, in which, from the very scanty, or in many cases apparent want of secretion by the stigma, it must otherwise have been very uncertain; for by this form and secretion, as well as by the sin- gular ceconomy of the calyx, it remains so long in contact with the stigma, as probably to compensate for the somewhat de- fective structure of that organ. _ From this figure the principal deviation is in the extensive genera Banksia and Josephia, in all of which it is elliptical or oblong, and either straight or bent into a semilunar form; and in Franklandia and Aular, where it is spherical. The only remaining exception with which I am acquainted is the original Embothrium of Forster, his E. coccineum, in which, as in Banksia, it is oblong; a circumstance that, together with the more im- portant character of a regular club-shaped stigma, and some other differences, has determined me to separate it from all the other species of Embothrium, except E. lanceolatum of Flora Peru- viana, whose pollen however remains to be examined.
The external modifications of the ovartum must be very

32 Mr. Brown, on the Proteacee of Jussieu.
cautiously used in the generic characters of this family ; even its being sessile or pedicellated is not always of sufficient import- ance, though I think Mr. Salisbury has done well in introducing it into his characters of Serruria and Spatalla, in both which genera I had overlooked it before the publication of his Essay.
Its internal structure, which ought always to be ascertained, will be found of the greatest importance in most cases, but fails in Persoonia, the species of which differ in having one or two seeds: it would seem however, in this case, that an irregularity in a point of such importance could not take place unaccom- panied with other anomalies in the same organ, and accordingly such are found to exist in this genus, and will be mentioned when treating of the fruit.
Besides number, the insertion of the ovula is also to be at- tended to; for though this may generally be presumed from the situation of the radicula in the ripe seed, yet to this criterion there are several exceptions, even in the present order: thus, while the radicula constantly points downward in the whole of the order, the insertion of the ovulum is in many cases at the top or side of the cell of the ovarium. My observations on this sub- ject are as yet incomplete; but, from those that I have made, I am inclined to think such differences will be connected with genera, or rather perhaps with particular kinds of fruit. Thus I conjecture, in Leucospermum, Mimetes, Nivenia, and Spatalla, the insertion to be uniformly lateral.
The styxe, though not subject to much variety in this family, will be found in a few cases to furnish generic characters. Thus in Protea, strictly so called, the persistent subulate style forms an important part of its character: and the persistency .of the whole of the style in the greater number of species of Gre- villea will probably be used by future botanists in distinguishing
them
Mr. Brown, on the Proteacee of Jussieu. 33
them from that remarkable section of the genus, which I have at present united with them and called Cycloptere. Its length also, when compared with that of the calyx, seems in some cases to be of importance, as in distinguishing Adenanthos from Spatalla; but in general this circumstance can hardly be had recourse to except in specific characters.
The form of the streMa is in many cases of considerable im- portance in characterizing genera, a fact which could not escape the penetration of Dr. Smith when establishing his new genera of this order: thus its conical papilla in his Conchium (the Hakea of Schrader) will in many, though certainly not in all cases, distinguish it from Grevillea: but its form in both these genera will readily serve to separate them from Xylomelum and Rhopala; and thus also Spatalla remarkably differs from Adenanthos. Upon the whole, however, it seems that its obliquity is of greater import- ance than its form; for this, when existing in any great degree, is generally accompanied with a corresponding irregularity in the calyx: but as this irregularity is produced for the purpose of bringing all the anthers into contact with the stigma, so its obli- quity in the dioicous genera Leucadendron and Aulaza is not at- tended with so great a degree of irregularity, which would here serve no end, impregnation depending on the pollen of different individuals, to insure which the surface of the stigma in these genera is rough with papule; a circumstance that, together with its form, readily distinguishes them from all others of the order.
In Synaphea, the stigma or summit of the style inosculates with the divisions of the barren filament, which in some species appear beyond it in horn-like processes, but in others are en- tirely lost in its substance. I am acquainted with nothing like this in the whole vegetable kingdom; and such a singularity

alone, when occurring in several species, would have determined me to separate these plants from Conospermum: but being also ac- companied by other remarkable differences, both of structure and appearance, no genus, I apprehend, can be better founded than this. ts :
That the opinion of Christian Knaut and Vaillant respecting the non-existence of naked seeds is correct when anatomically considered, there can be no doubt; but the practical utility of deviating in this subject from the common language of botanists may still be questioned: and accordingly Geertner, who was fully aware of the truth of their position, has nevertheless con- tinued to describe the seeds of many plants as naked. I con- fess however I am inclined to adopt the opposite decision of the French botanists, at the head of whom is Richard, who has also proposed terms for distinguishing the various species hitherto confounded under the name of naked seeds. The fruit of the monospermous genera of Proteaceze might probably be with advantage referred to that which he has termed Ahena; but as I am unwilling in the present paper to adopt any term not more generally sanctioned and understood than this, I shall content myself with calling those nuces, which are either not at all or but shghtly compressed and not bordered; and apply the term samara to such as are either very much compressed, or with a less remarkable compression are surrounded or terminated by a membranacecous border: that I regard these distinctions how- ever as in some cases of very little importance, may be inferred from this, that my genus Leucadendron includes both these kinds of fruit.
The first observation I have to offer on the fruits of Pro- teacez is, that there is no really bivalvular capsule in the order ; a truth which was not perceived by Gertner in describing his
- Banksia
Mr. Brown, on thé Proteaceae of Jussieu. 35
Banksia dactyloides: (the Conchium dactyloides of Dr. Smith), and which has equally escaped Cavanilles and Labillardiere in their characters of Hakea. Dr. Smith has more cautiously omitted this consideration in his character of that genus, and Professor Schrader has accurately described the suture as only existing on one side: such fruits then are as truly folliculi as those of Grevillea, Rhopala, or Embothrium; and that the ex- istence of a distinct placenta is by no means necessary to con- stitute this kind of fruit, is proved even by some genera of Apo- cine, to which family this term was first applied.
A circumstance occurs in some species of Persoonia to sch 1 have met with nothing similar in any other plant: the ovarium in this genus, whether it contain one or two ovula, has never more than one cell; but in several of the two-seeded species a cellular, substance is after foecundation interposed between the ovula; and this gradually indurating acquires in the ripe fruit the same consistence as the putamen itself, from whose sub- stance it cannot be distinguished ; and thus a fruit originally of one cell becomes bilocular: the cells however are not parallel, as in all those cases where they exist in the unimpregnated ovarium, but diverge more or less upwards.
In all the seeds of this order there is a very manifest cuaLaza, which, whatever may be the point of insertion of the seed, is always situated at its upper extremity; and I have not been able to observe any fasciculus of vessels connecting it with the umbilicus in cases where this latter is placed i ina different part of the seed.
I am not aware of any function being ascribed to the cua- taza of seeds, except the nutrition of their proper membrane: but it appears to me too remarkable a part to be destined for this purpose only; and some observations I have madé induge
FQ me

me to suppose that it is the organ secreting the liquor amnios. This opinion I was first led to form by observing in some species of Persoonia, in which the inspissated remains of this fluid are visible in the ripe fruit, that it evidently originated in the cha- laza and continued to adhere to it: nothing has hitherto oc- curred to invalidate this opinion, which is here however hazarded merely as a conjecture, requiring for its confirmation more nu- merous and decisive facts than I can at present adduce.
That the atpumeEN of seeds is merely that condensed portion of the liquor amnios which remains unabsorbed by the embryo, seems to me very satisfactorily established; and as this fluid is in the early stage never wanting, all seeds may in one sense be said to have albumen: but while in some tribes this unabsorbed part in the ripe seed many times exceeds the size of the embryo, so there are others im which not a vestige of it remains; and such has hitherto been supposed to be the case with Proteaceew: nor are the few exceptions with which I am at present acquainted of so decisive a nature as to invalidate this character of the order ; for they occur only in some species of Persoonia, where the semi- fluid remains of this substance are observable between the coty- Jedons; and in Bedlendena, in which it continues to form a thin fleshy coat on the inner surface of the proper membrane of the seed. From such instances however we may expect to find plants with a more copious albumen, which nevertheless it maybe neces- sary from the whole of their organization to refer to this family.
The raprevLa pointing towards the base of the fruit in all Proteacez is a circumstance of the greatest importance in. di- stinguishing the order from the most nearly related tribes; and its constancy is more remarkable, as it is not accompanied by the usual position or even uniformity in the situation of the
eternal umbilicus. If
Mr. Brown, on the Proteacee of Jussieu. 37
‘If Gertner had not described the pLrumuta of Protea are gentea, I should not have hesitated to assert that it was inconspi- cuous in the whole order.
The number of coryLepoNs when more than two is a circum- stance of little importance. In Persoonia, the only genus of the order in which a plurality of cotyledons has been observed, I am not even certain that their number is constant in those species in which this anomaly occurs.
In the following part of this essay it may be observed, that the genera into which I have subdivided the great African fa- mily Protea, are in most cases similar to those already proposed by Mr. Salisbury in the Paradisus Londinensis: from that essay however they are certainly not derived, but before its publication were formed and submitted to the judgment of Mr. Dryander, at whose suggestion they are now offered to the Society. That the results of an examination conducted by two observers wholly independent of each other, are so similar, will probably be considered as some proof of their correctness.
As Mr. Salisbury’s generic names have the unquestionable right of priority of publication, I have in most cases adopted them, though I wish some of them had been differently constructed. But as I cannot accede to his application of the Linnean names Protea and Leucadendron, I shall here, that I may not disturb the following arrangement, assign my reasons for differing from him in this respect; and as in so doing I am obliged to trace the progress of Linnzus’s knowledge of the family, I per- suade myself that this will in some degree compensate for the otherwise unwarrantable length of the discussion.
The name Prorea, which originated with Linnzus, first oc- curs in the folio edition of his Systema Nature published in
1735 ;

1735; no generic characters are there given, but from the re- ferences to Boerhaave’s figures it is evident that the genus is, to be understood in the same extensive sense which he at length gave it in the second Mantissa. In 1737 appeared the Genera Plantarum, and in it for the first time the natural generic cha- - -racter of Protea: as inthis work he only cites Lepidocarpodendron and Hypophyllocarpodendron of Boerhaave, it. follows that here the genus is more limited, though its character is not peculiarly applicable to either of Boerhaave’s genera referred to; and the description of anthere and germen is not reconcilable to any plant whatever of the family. In the same year Hortus Cliffortianus was published, in which he resumes his first opinien of: Protea, reducing to it all Boerhaave’s genera, but referring to the character giyen in his own Genera Plantarum. It does not appear on what ground this change of opinion was formed; for in Clifford’s garden, according to Viridarium Cliffortianum, there had only been two species, Protea argentea and saligna, neither of which had flowered, and the former was already lost ; while in his Herbarium, now in the collection of Sir Joseph Banks, the specimens of all the three species given in the body of the work are without fructification, and of Protea racemosa added in the appendix there is no specimen whatever. “4 If Linnzeus is to be considered in a great degree the author of the Prodromus Flore Leydensis, published by A. Van Royen in 1740, as has been asserted by some of his pupils, and may be inferred from a passage in his Diary published by Dr, Maton, it must be noticed as his next work in the order of time; for from the same Diary it appears that he could only have been employed in its composition in 1738. In this work the genus Protea is given in the same extensive sense as in Hortus Cliffor- tianus, and no fewer than 21 species are characterized, of which however
Mr. Brown, on the Proteacee of Jussieu. 39
however only two were in the Leyden gardem, the rest being described from specimens in Van Royen’s Herbarium.
In 1738 he also published hjs Classes Plantarum, in which, notwithstanding he appears to have composed it while engaged in the arrangement of Van Royen’s collection, another fluctua- tion of opinion occurs, Protea being limited as in the first edi- tion of the Genera Plantarum, and to Leucadendros, which here for the first time occurs, he refers the Conocarpodendron of Boerhaave.
In 1740 he published the second edition of Systema Nature, where the names Protea and Leucadendron are both given; but the references to Boerhaave are reversed, Protea being confined to his Conocarpodendron, and Leucadendron comprehending his other two genera. In this sense they also appear in the second edition of the Genera Plantarum published in 1742, in which the character of Leucadendron is first given, some of whose species he must, from the annexed asterisk, have seen recent: his description of corolla and pistillum is only applicable to Lepidocarpodendron.
In 1745 Limneus received the Herbarium of Herman, from which he composed his Flora Zeylanica: the fourth volume of this collection containing a mixture of Ceylon and African plants, the latter are not noticed in this work; but from an if- spection of the Herbarium itself, now in the Banksian collection, it appears that he had added generic names to most of them: of Protez only three species exist in the volume, of which Protea conocarpa is one: of this there are on the same page two speci- mens, whose heads of flowers are separately pasted ; under one of these specimens he has written Leucadendron, and under the second Protea; to a specimen of Protea Serraria on a different
page
40 Mr. Browy, on the Proteacee of Jussieu.
page he has given the name of Santolina. These facts are men- tioned to prove, that at this period his knowledge of the family must have been chiefly derived from Boerhaave’s figures, and perhaps from specimens which he had casually seen.
In 1748 the sixth edition of Systema Nature appeared, where the essential characters of Protea and Leucadendron first occur, both of them evidently derived from the natural characters ee viously given.
In 1753 the Species Plantarum, the most accurate of all his works, was given to the world; both genera are found in it, their species characterized, and trivial names for the first time applied to them: of Protea there are only two species, P. argentea and fusca; to the former however he referred as varieties P. saligna, conifera, and three others ; to the whole adding the following ob- servation, which may be supposed to contain his chief reason for applying his name Protea to this genus rather: than to that for which in his Classes Plantarum he had first intended it. * Planta naturalis in patria argentea excellit fronde inter arbores nitidissima omnium; at culta et captiva extra patriam exuit decus; variat dein etiam domi mille modis veré Protea.”
At this time he had in his Herbarium a specimen without fructification of Protea argentea properly so called; but of its supposed varieties or of P. fusca none whatever. Of his genus Leucadendron he had only one species, L. proteoides, afterwards called Protea purpurea, a plant differing in many respects from the tribe to which he had, though not without hesitation, referred it.
In 1754 the fifth edition of Genera Plantarum appeared, in which the characters of both genera remain exactly as in the second.
In 1759 was publishd the tenth edition of Systema Nature,
where
Mr. Brown, on the Proteaceae of Jussieu. 41
where the essential generic characters are nearly the same as in the sixth, and the specific characters are copied from the Species Plantarum. J
Of this latter work the second edition appeared in 1762: it contains two additional species of Leucadendron described from Burmannus’s Collection and Plantz Africanz: Protea argentea of the first edition is here divided into two species; the first Protea argentea now so called, the second comprehending P. sa- ligna, conifera, and three other nearly related species: to this latter the greater part of the observation added to P. argentea of the first edition is annexed, though evidently less applicable to the species thus divided.
In the sixth edition of Genera Plantarum printed in 1764 no alterations are made in the characters of these two genera.
In Mantissa prima published in 1767, two new species of Leucadendron are described : neither of these, however, he had in his Herbarium: the first, Leucadendron speciosum, he had pro- bably accidentally seen, the anther of which are described as filaments, and their callous apices alone as true anthere: the description of the second, L. pinifolium, is by Van Royen.
In the twelfth edition of Systema Nature published in the same year, the species of Leucadendron are arranged in a difte- rent, and, as the author intended, a more natural order; from which it may be concluded that at this time considerable addi- tions had been made to his Herbarium: but L. glomeratum is un- accountably omitted. Protea here receives again P. Levisanus, the P. fusca of the first edition of the Species Plantarum, which in the second had been referred to Brunia.
In Mantissa altera published in 1771, the two genera are united under the name of Protea; new characters are given to
VoL. x. G the
AQ Mr. Brown, on the Proteaceae of Jussieu.
the species, and most of them are described from specimens then in his Herbarium; five species are added which had already been published by the accurate Bergius; and three, P. totta, strobilina and parviflora, are here first met with: in his descrip- tion of the last, he seems to suspect it to be a male plant, which we now certainly know to be the case. P. glomerata is here again taken up; but Protea acaulis, cancellata and conocarpa are omitted; and Protea conifera of the second edition of the Species Plantarum is subdivided into three species, P. conzfera, pallens and-saligna.
In:the thirteenth edition of the Systema Vegetabilium pub- lished in 1774, the essential character of the genus is adapted to its present state, and no alteration occurs among the species, except that P. speciosa is considered as a variety of P. Lepido- carpodendron.
From this statement it appears, that Linnzus in his earlier works had not sufficient materials for obtaining an accurate no- tion of this family; and hence that perpetual fluctuation of opinion concerning it, which has been now pointed out, and may in few words be recapitulated.
Ist, He gave the genus Protea the same extent which he at length assigned to it in the Mantissa.
Qdly, He limited it, leaving unnoticed that part to which at a latter period he exclusively applied the name.
3dly, He resumed his first opinion.
4thly, He subdivided it into two genera, giving them the same names which are adopted in the present paper.
5thly, He continued the subdivision but reversed the names, and for a reason, as it would seem, which is now known to be founded in error.
And
Mr. Brown, on the Proteacee of Jussieu. AS
And lastly, Having acquired more perfect materials and per- ceiving the insufficiency of his characters, he united them to- gether, thus ending exactly where he commenced.
But, as in this he has been universally followed for nearly forty years, Protea can no longer be considered as more strongly as- sociated with any one species of the genus than another; and therefore this name so familiar to botanists, if the necessity of again subdividing the genus be allowed, ought certainly to be given to that part which is best known, and which contains the greatest number of published species, especially if the name- be at least as applicable to this as to any other subdivision: now this part unquestionably is the Lepidocarpodendron of Boer- haave, the Protea of the first edition of the Genera Plantarum and Classes Plantarum, and of the present Essay.
The question respecting the application of the name Leuca: dendron is reducible to a smaller compass. Mr. Salisbury is aware that the Linnzan character of the genus is only ap- plicable to Lepidocarpodendron of Boerhaave; and therefore, consistently with the reasons which determined him in his appli- cation of the name Protea, Leucadendron ought to have been retained for that which he has called Erodendrum in Paradisus Londinensis ; and this it. seems he would have done, had it not been differently used by Plukenet, whom he professes to follow in this respect. But as rejecting Linnezan names when accom- panied by characters, for those of Plukenet who never published a single character, is somewhat unusual, it must be supposed to have arisen from the latter author’s more appropriate use of this significant name, while it may also be presumed that Linneus’s application of it is wholly unsuitable; and it is at least to be expected that in his own application he is consistent with Plukenet, whom he means to follow.
. G2 To
44 Mr. Brown, on the Proteacee of Jussieu.
To determine how far this is the case, I have examined the figures published by Plukenet under the name of Leucadendros, and also his Herbarium, which forms part of the Sloanean col- lection in the British Museum. Of his three species so named the first is Protea argentea, his “ Leucadendros africana arbor tota argentea sericea foliis integris, Atlas Tree, D. Herman.” of which the figure represents a branch without fructification, and a separate fruit possibly of the same plant, but rather, as I suspect, belonging to a different species of the same genus.
On the same plate is figured a single leaf, in all probability belonging to P. conocarpa, with the following name, “ Leuca- dendro similis africana arbor argentea folio summo crenaturis florida, an Leucadendros africana foliis serratis D. Herman.?” The separate fruit accompanying this probably does not belong to it, but to some species of that division of Leucadendron which Mr. Salisbury has called Euryspermum.
The third species, his “ Lewcadendros africana, seu Scolymo- cephalus angustiori folio apicibus tridentatis,” is a good figure of a flowering branch of Protea cucullata.
It could not certainly from his publications alone be under- stood why the name Leucadendros is applied to these three plants so little alike, while different names are given to species much more nearly related to some of them than they are to each other: of this however the solution is to be found in his Her- barium; on consulting which I find, that after the publication of Protea argentea, with whose flowers he was unacquainted, he had acquired flowering specimens of Protea hirta, and had sup- posed these two species to be the same, pasting between twoleaves of argentea four loose heads of hirta, and under the whole copying in his own hand the name Leucadendros, &c. at full length from his Phytographia. This satisfactorily explains why he referred
P, cucullatae
My. Brown, on the Proteacee of Jussieu. AS
P. cucullata to Leucadendros, its flowers being very similar to those of Protea hirta. As to his application of this name to P. conocarpa, it could only proceed from his total ignorance of its fructification ; for, as he has figured a nearly related species, P. hypophylla, under the very different name of Thymelea, &c., it is reasonable to conclude, that had he seen the flower of P. cono- carpa he would have given it the same generic name. This P. conocarpa however, of which it may truly be said he knew _-nothing, and concerning which at least no information is to be derived from his works, is the only species of the three which belongs to Mr. Salisbury’s genus Leucadendron.
But the original Lewcadendros of Herman, of Plukenet, and of Linnzus himself, is Protea argentea, the only plant of the family to which the name can properly be applied; to this therefore Thave assigned it in the following arrangement.
Before proceeding to this arrangement, I am happy in having ‘an opportunity of acknowledging that assistance which has so liberally been afforded me.
To the invaluable Herbarium and Library of Sir Joseph Banks I have on this, as on all other occasions, enjoyed the freest ac- cess; an advantage which has been greatly enhanced by the op- portunity it has given me of consulting my friend Mr. Dryander, both as to the formation of genera and respecting synonyms, on which points his sound judgment and unrivalled erudition so well enable him to decide. pret
To Dr. Smith I am indebted for the permission of inspecting the Linnzan Collection, and for the most friendly and. satis- factory answers to the queries on this subject which he allowed me to put to him.
Mr. Lambert, whose Herbarium in this tribe is only surpassed
46 Mr. Brown, on the Proteacee of Jussieu,
by that of Sir Joseph Banks, has, with his accustomed liberality, submitted it without reserve to my examination.
Mr. Hibbert, who for many years possessed the most aan collection of living Proteas that has ever been formed, and who also received from his intelligent collector Mr. Niven a va- luable Herbarium of native specimens, most obligingly permitted me to examine these, and even to dissect such as were new. | For the like privilege I am indebted to the friendship of Mr, Aiton of Kew, who sent me his whole collection, peculiarly valuable as containing many of the original specimens of Mr. Masson: and lastly, I have to acknowledge the great assistance I have derived from the extensive collection presented to this Society by my friend Dr. Roxburgh, who during his short residence at the Cape appears to have paid particular attention to this tribe of plants, and who, besides the many new species discovered by him, las given a greater value to his Herbarium by numerous observations on the sexes, the size, and places of growth, which I have every where inserted on his authority.

Oss. The separation of sexes in the genus Protea of authors, ob-
-scurely suspected by Linneus himself in his Protea parviflora, and afterwards more expressly by Lamarck in P. pinifolia, was- first ascertained in Aulax and the present genus (as Mr. Dryan- der informs me) by our countryman Masson, during his last re-
_sidence at the Cape of Good Hope, and is beautifully illustrat- ed by that eminent botanical painter Mr. Francis Bauer, in his anpublished drawings preserved in the Banksian collection. Numerous observations on the same subject have also more
-tecenfly been made by Dr. Roxburgh and Mr. Niven, who have bestowed much pains in ascertaining its limits, of which, as far as regards the African part of the family, Mr. Salisbury has given an accurate account in his Essay already quoted. The Dis- -sertation of Thunberg, who was wholly unacquainted with this separation of sexes in these plants, is necessarily imperfect, and he has, in several cases, described the different sexes as di- stinct species; and thus also Bergius has founded his genus Aulaw on the male of a species, whose female he had previously published as a Leucadendron. On the other hand, Jussieu, deceived by the resemblance in inflorescence, between Bra- bejum and the spiked species of Protea, has erroneously suspected these to be .monoicous, while he has totally over- looked the truly dioicous nature of the present genus.

Ozs. Mr. Salisbury has united such of the New Holland Pro- tex as he had seen, into one genus, which he calls Atylus ; a name meant to express the want of those bodies that usu- ally surround the ovarium, in this order,and which he chooses to term calli: but as I conceive they are certainly secreting organs, the name on this ground would be exceptionable: my chief reason however for not adopting it, either for the pre- sent or the following genus, is, that the whole of his essential character does not apply to either of them. In his secon- dary character, he has also considered them as monovicous, a mistake into which he has probably been led, not only from the striking similarity between the strobili of Petrophila and Leucadendron, but also from the style of the former remain- ing for some time unwithered after the calyx has fallen off. In one species he has even described the relative situation of the sexes ; regarding the terminating amentum of P. pulchella as female, and.the lesser ones, which frequently though not always surround it, as male; but that this is not the case is proved by Cavanilles’ figure of the species, in which all the amenta are in fruit, and a specimen in the same state may be seen in Sir Joseph Banks’s Herbarium.

This genus is published by Mr. Salisbury: his primary generic character does not indeed at all differ from that which he has given to Mimetes ; in his account of Inflorescence, however, it is evident he understood the genus nearly as I have here proposed it : I should therefore have adopted his name had it appeared to me tenable; but I am disposed to believe that he will, on reconsidering the subject, see the propriety of relinquishing it; for the irregularity or unusual structure, which (if I understand him) he says exists “ tot partibus diversis,” only takes place in the leaves of a small

number of species; on the other hand, the flowers of allare per- fectly regular, and that too in opposition to some of the most nearly related genera, while the great uniformity and regu- larity of inflorescence forms an essential part of its charac- ter. Ihave therefore named it in honour of Mr. James Niven, an intelligent observer and indefatigable collector, to whom botanists are indebted for the discovery of many new species, especially in the two extensive South-African families of Erica and Proteacez.
