PEEP ACE TO THE SECOND VOLUME. (BY THE EDITOR.) The present volume contains, as announced in the Preface to the first, the Systematic Memoirs and Miscel- laneous Descriptions of Plants ; and to these have been added a number of short contributions to different publi- cations, together with notices of the assistance acknow- ledged to have been afforded by the Author to various writers, wherever the nature of the assistance is distinctly pointed out. In Pritzel's ' Thesaurus Literaturse Botanicee,' p. 35, at the end of the enumeration of Mr. Brown's works, it is stated, " Robert us Brown dedit praeterea descriptiones ultimi (an etiam tertii ?)

The fourth fasciculus of Dickson's 'Plantae Cryp- togamicae/ but not, 1 believe, the third, was largely indebted to him ; but it would be difficult, if not impossible, to de- termine what portions of the text were actually furnished by him.

One generic name, that of Gyno- cardia, was substituted by him for the barbarous name, Chauhnoogra, adopted by Roxburgh, and this alteration has met with general acquiescence. On the portion of the second edition of the ' Hortus Kewensis ' printed after the death of Dryander, in 1810, he bestowed the same attention which had been devoted by Dryander to the earlier portion, and by Solander to the first edition, adding largely to the elucidation of certain Families and Genera. These contributions will be found extracted in the present volume. In the list of Mr. Brown's works given by Pritzel there occur two: "No. 1365f, Of three species of the natural order Orchideae, Lond. 1817, 4, 8 pp. 2 tab. col.;" and No. 1366t, Select Orchidese, ib. 4, 2 pp." both extracted from ' The Journal of Science and the Arts/ which do not properly belong to Mr. Brown, but formed part of a series of papers on Cape Orc/iidete, by Mr. Bellenden Ker.

ON THE NATURAL ORDER OF PLANTS PROTEACEJ] BY ROBERT BROWN, Lib. L.S. (Bead Jan. 17th, 1809.) [Extracted from the * Transactions' of the Linnean Society oj London, Vol. X,pp. 15— 226.] LONDON. 1810. ON THE PEOTEACEiE OP JUSSIEIL The Linnean system of botany, though confessedly [is 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 establishment of a natural arrangement, the superior importance of which no one has been more fully impressed with than Linnaeus 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 Linnaeus 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 fcecundation will hardly be called in ques- tion, now that the immortal works of Gaertner and Jussieu have demonstrated the necessity of minutely studying the fruits of plants in attempting to arrange them according to the sum of their affinities, as in many cases the true nature of the ripe fruit, especially with respect to the placentation 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 : ci« nor do I find any one who has steadily kept it in view, except Aubert Du Petit-Thouars in his excellent work on D. H. HILL LIBRARY Horth Carolina State College 6 ON THE PROTEACE^ OF JUSSIEU. the plants of Madagascar and the Isles of France and Bourbon. The bursting of the antherae has, it is true, been gene- rally observed, and many of its most unusual modes have been introduced into the characters of genera ; but the ex- amination of these organs, at a still earlier period, has been universally neglected ; and hence the very imperfect know- ledge which, even now, is possessed of their real nature in two of the most remarkable families of plants, the Orchideae and Asclepiadege. Examples of the great advantage of observing the antherae in this early stage will hereafter be given in my general re- marks 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 Asclepiacleae, as it will enable me not only to bring forward the most striking proof of the importance of this consideration 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, comprehend- ing Asclepias, Cynanchum, Pergularia, Stapelia, and several genera, at present confounded with these, ought to be re- ferred to Pentandria or Gynandria, and, if to the latter, whether the antherae are to be considered as five or ten ; all of which opinions have had advocates of the greatest name in the science. According to Linnaeus, Jussieu, and Richard, they belong to Pentandria. Linnaeus has assigned no reason for his opinion, which, however, it appears he retained after he became acquainted with the observations of Jacquin and Rottboell ; but it is 17] probable he was induced to adopt it more from the con- sideration of the close analogy these plants have with the manifestly pentanclrous Apocineae, than from regarding them as strictly referable to this class ; for, in his natural generic characters of Asclepias and Pergularia, he very clearly de- scribes both these genera as gynandrous. Jussieu has entered more fully into the subject, but seems ON THE PROTEACEiE OF JUSSIEU. 7 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 solu- tion of the question ; his account, however, of the origin of the lateral processes hereafter mentioned, proves that this description was not altogether formed on actual observa- tion. Jacquin, the first botanist that submitted these plants to minute 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 fol- lowed by Koelreuter, Rottboell, and Cavanilles, all of whom likewise 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 antherae. And lastly Desfontaines supposes the five glands of the stigma to be the true antherse, 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 irresistible evidence, the conclusion they had formed from premises apparently so satisfactory. My attention, while in New Holland, having been much engaged by the plants of this family, the species in that [is 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 gene- rally 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 sup- posed antherae. If a flower bud of any plant of this family, while scarcely » ON THE PROTEACE/E OF JUSSIEU. 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 antherae to be merely immersed, are really the organs by which the fcecundating 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 homy 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 de- pressions, the processes by which, at a more advanced stage, the contents of the antherse 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 pro- cesses, acquire a firmer consistence, and the inferior or outer extremity of each of the processes, being extended beyond 19] its depression 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 con- sistence. If the accuracy of this statement be admitted, it will probably be allowed that the Asclepiadece cannot be re- garded as gynandrous, especially in the sense in which they are so considered by botanists ; but lest it should not be thought completely satisfactory, it may be added, that in a still earlier stage of the flower bud I have found the fcecundating matter already secreted in the cells of the anthera?, while the glands of the stigma, as well as their processes, were absolutely invisible. As to the question of their being pentandrous or decan- drous, every analogy must lead us to refer them to the former class ; nor, indeed, have they, when not considered ON THE PROTEACEjE OP JUSSJEU. 9 as gynandrous, been ever supposed to belong to De- can dria. An ceconomy, in many respects similar to that now described, obtains also in Orchidese ; in which, however, the processes connecting the antherse with the stigma, where they exist, are in many cases derived from the masses of pollen themselves ; but in others they as certainly originate from the stigma, or its glandular appendage. The result of my examination of these 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 Protege, or, as it is less excep- tionably called, Proteace^e, was first established in the Genera Plantarum 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 Dr. Smith, in po 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 systema- tic arrangement ; before entering upon which, I shall offer some remarks on its geographical distribution, and likewise on such modifications of structure in the different organs as appear to be of the greatest importance in indicating or characterising 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 pro- bably 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 Proteace^e are almost entirely confined to the southern hemisphere. This observation originated with Mr. Dry- ander, and the few exceptions hitherto known to it, occur considerably within the tropic. The fact is the more 10 ON THE PROTEACE^) OF JUSS1EU. deserving of notice, as their diffusion is very extensive in the southern hemisphere, not merely in latitude and longi- tude, but also in elevation ; for they are not only found to exist in 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 compara- tively small, their organization but little varied ; and further, that they have a much greater affinity with those si] of New Holland than of Africa. Of the botany of South Africa, scarce anything is known, except that of the Cape of Good Hope, where this family occurs in the greatest abundance and variety ; but even from the single fact of a genuine species of Protea having been found in Abyssinia 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 acquainted, and in every known part of these, Proteaceae 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 feature in the vegetation of both continents. What I am about to advance respecting the probable distribution of this family in New Holland, must be very cautiously received ; as it is in fact chiefly deduced from the remarks I have myself made in Captain Elinclers's Voyage, and subsequently during 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 herbarium collected on the west coast, chiefly in the neighbourhood ON THE PROTEACE.E OF JUSSIEU. 11 of Shark's Bay, by the botanists attached to the expedition of Captain Baudin. From knowledge so acquired I am inclined to hazard the following 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 in the vegetation of the [22 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 whole are more similar to those of Africa than on the east, where they bear a somewrhat 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 hitherto been observed, which are not also found beyond it ; unless that section of Grevillea, which I have called Cyclopterce, be considered as a genus. Whereas at the southern limit of the order several genera make their appearance, which do not occur in its chief parallel. The most numerous genera are also the most widely diffused. Thus Grevillea, HaTcea, Banksia, and Fersoonia, 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 Josejj/ua1 and Syria- phea, equally limited to this parallel, have been observed only towards its western extremity ; while Emboihrium 1 Subsequently in this paper altered to Dryandra.

(comprehending for the present under this name all the many-seeded plants of the order),1 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. 23] Genera consisting of one or very few species, and which exhibit 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 con- sidered as exceptions to this, occur in the most ex- tensive 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 ex- tended, 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 extension in longitude is comparatively small : and it is still more worthy of notice, that no species of this family has been found common to the eastern and western shores of New Holland. The celebrated traveller Humboldt is the first who has expressly pointed out a remarkable difference in the distri- bution of the species of plants. He observes that, while the greater number grow irre- gularly scattered and mixed with each other, there are some which form considerable masses, or even extensive tracts, to the nearly absolute 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 themselves 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 Proteaceae can be said to 1 In the systematic part of the present Memoir, the Australian species of Embotlirium are separated under the generic names of Knightia, Lomalia, and Stenocarpus. — Edit.

Protea argentea of Linnaeus is the most striking example among the African species ; and my friend Mr. m Ferdinand Bauer has observed a similar tendency in Protea mellifera. Among the New Holland species, Banksia sjjeciosa is the sole instance, and even that only in certain circumstances, of this manner of growth. The favourite station of Proteacese 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 j and one, the Embotlirium ferrugineum 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 ^Equinoctial Botany, has given the mean height of Em- botlirium 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 latitude, 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. Embotlirium, 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 : Bhopala, the most northern genus, which, though chiefly occurring in America, is to be met with also in Cochin-China and in the Malay Archipelago ; and Em- botlirium, the most southern genus of any extent, is common to New Holland and America. From this account of the geographical distribution of [25 the Proteaceae, 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 Symphionema prdudosum, which, how- 14 ON THE PROTEACE.E OF JUSSIEU. ever, 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, con- sists 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 bractese 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 advantage in some difficult genera, especially Serruria, from attending to its differences in direction. Mr. Salisbury has introduced the pubescence of fruit into several of his generic characters, and in some I think with evident advantage, but in such only as where from its abundance and length it performs a function of manifest importance in assisting dissemination : hence I conceive it may be safely admitted into the characters of Protect 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 26] be of no further moment than in distinguishing species. Dr. Smith has given it as his opinion, that from the dis- position of leaves in New Holland plants no conclusion can safely be drawn as to their genera. This remark how- ever 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 Rubiacese ; and there are many others in which I find nothing at all remarkable in this respect. ON THE PROTEACEJE OF JUSSIEtJ. 15 As to Proteacese, 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 circum- stance of even greater importance than the number of flowers in the involucrum ; and the opposite leaves of Xylomelum distinguish it at once both from Bhopala and Hake a. Although the form and divisions of leaves in the order are variable 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 Protect (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 fili- form and undivided, and those oiBerruria filiform and almost always pinnatifid. Their dichotomous divisions in Simsia and Franklandia are still more characteristic ; and their division and remarkable reticulation readily distinguish Synaphea from Conospermum. The inflorescence in Froteacese, whatever use botanists may think proper to make of it in their generic characters, is of undoubted importance in determining genera, and [27 even in the primary division of the order it appears to be of nearly equal consequence 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 clusters 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 Pro- teacese I have, with Jussieu, denominated calyx, chiefly because the stamina, of equal number with its laciniae, are constantly opposite to them, and from the close analogy 16 ON THE PROTRACEtE OF JUSSIEU. subsisting between this family and that of Thymeleae, 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 endea- vour to establish the identity of this organ in these two families. In several of the Thymeleae, especially in Pimelea, the loAver 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 Proteaceae, as in Adenanthos of Labillar- diere, in Isopogon, in Grevillea Clirysodendron, and still more remarkably in Frank/andia, 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 thus adopted the language of Jussieu, I am decidedly of opinion that, in all families having a single 28] envelope, it will be still better to call it perianthium or perigonium, which latter term was proposed by Ehrhart, and is adopted by Decandolle. A circumstance meriting the attention of the theoretical botanist, respecting the calyx in this order, is its invariable division into four leaves or segments ; for the single excep- tion noted by Linnaeus 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 remarkable that there is, in the whole order, a strong ten- dency to irregularity in form, the various kinds of which are of great importance in characterising genera. Before the expansion of the calyx the margins of its seg- ments are applied to each other; and from the unequal degrees of cohesion in many cases subsisting among them after expansion, several kinds of irregularity arise. I am not sure that any term has been contrived for this manner of aestivation, except it be the (estivatio valvata of Linnaeus ; ON THE PROTEACE.E OF JUSSIEU. 17 but as he has not denned it, and as his commentator lleuss has given the very different aestivation of grasses as an ex- ample, 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 Proteaceae are indicated with tolerable certainty. Thus Synapliea is distinguished from Conospermum by its yellow flowers ; and no instance of yellow flowers has been met with in the numerous genera Serruria and Spatal/a, nor any of purple in Leucadendron. In some genera, however, as in Banhia, [29 and Lsopoyon, 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 wrhich excludes the idea of secretion. But whatever their functions may be, great assistance may certainly be derived from their various modifications, in distinguishing genera. 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 lacinise 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 j but in Persoonia they are nearly round and fleshy, and in Bellendena, Symphionema, Simsia, Ayastachya, Pe- frop/iila, and Lsopoyon, 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 18 ON THE PROTEACEiK OF JUSSIKU. concave tops of the laciniae of the calyx ; all considerable deviations from which may safely be employed in charac- 30] tensing genera. In this way Bhopala, Xylomelum, and Lamberila are readily distinguished from Embothfium, GrewHea, and Hakea ; and thus also Persoonia and Bra- bejum remarkably differ from Guevina ; 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 anthers in this order are not many ; but some of them are of so sin- gular 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 antherae 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 in- termediate membrane. In Simsia the four antherae 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 ascer- tained before the opening of the calyx, necessarily escaped Dr. Smith in describing his Conospermum, for I conclude he had only the expanded flower before him, and the appearance of the antherae in this state after their separa- tion justifies him in referring the genus to Tetrandria : but according to the view now given of its structure, it can have no other pretension to a place in this class than its belonging to Proteaceae ; and the order Syngenesia Mono- gamia being abolished, it must be referred to Triandria. The only remaining anomaly in these parts occurs in si] Franklandia, and consists in the anthera, or rather that portion of the filament on which it is fixed, adhering to the calyx through its whole length. ON THE PROTEACE.E OF JUSSIEU. 19 The figure of the pollen has been attended to by a few theoretical, 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 Linnaeus 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 other- wise have been very uncertain ; for by this form and secre- tion, as well as by the singular ceconomy of the calyx, it remains so long in contact with the stigma, as probably to compensate for the somewhat defective structure of that organ. From this figure the principal deviation is in the exten- sive genera Banksia and Josephia, in all of which it is elliptical or oblong, and either straight or bent into a semi- lunar form ; and in Franklandia and Aulaoc, 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 circum- stance that, together with the more important 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 Peruviana, whose pollen however remains to be examined. The external modifications of the ovarium must be very cautiously used in the generic characters of this family j [32 even its being sessile or pedicellated is not always of suffi- cient importance, though I think Mr. Salisbury has done well in introducing it into his characters of Serruria and Spatatta, in both which genera I had overlooked it before the publication of his Essay. Its internal structure, which ought always to be ascer- tained, will be found of the greatest importance in most 20 ON THE PROTEACE.E OF JUSS1EU. 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 unaccompanied 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 attended 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 subject are as yet incomplete ; but, from those that I have made, I am in- clined to think such differences will be connected with genera, or rather perhaps with particular kinds of fruit. Thus I conjecture, in Leucospernvnn, Mimetes, Nivenia, and Spatalla, the insertion to be uniformly lateral. The style, though not subject to much variety in this family, will be found in a few cases to furnish generic cha- racters. Thus in Protect, 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 Grevittea will probably be used by 33] future botanists in distinguishing them from that re- markable section of the genus, which I have at present united with them and called Cyclojpterce. Its length also, when compared with that of the calyx, seems in some cases to be of importance, as in distinguishing AdenantJios from Spatalla ; but in general this circumstance can hardly be had recourse to except in specific characters. The form of the stigma is in many cases of considerable importance in characterising 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 Concilium (the Hakea of Schrader) will in many, though certainly not in all cases, distinguish it from Grevillea ; but ON THE PROTEACEyE OF JUSS1EU. 21 its form in both these genera will readily serve to separate them from Xylomelum and Bhopala ; 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 irre- gularity in the calyx : but as this irregularity is produced for the purpose of bringing all the antherse into contact with the stigma, so its obliquity in the dioiceous genera Leucadendron and Aulax is not attended with so great a degree of irregularity, which would here serve no end, im- pregnation depending on the pollen of different individuals, to insure which the surface of the stigma in these genera is rough with papulae ; a circumstance that, together with its form, readily distinguishes them from all others of the order. In Si/naphea, the stigma or summit of the style inoscu- lates with the divisions of the barren filament, which in some species appear beyond it in horn-like processes, but in others are entirely 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 dm species, would have determined me to separate these plants from Conospermum: but being also accompanied by other remarkable differences, both of structure and appearance, no genus, I apprehend, can be better founded than this. That the opinion of Christian Knaut and Vaillant re- specting 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 accord- ingly Gsertner, who was fully aware of the truth of their position, has nevertheless continued to describe the seeds of many plants as naked. I confess 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 mono- spermous genera of Proteacese might probably be with 22 ON THE PROTEACE.E OE JUSSIEU. advantage referred to that which he has termed Akenium ; 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 slightly compressed and not bor- dered ; and apply the term samara to such as are either very much compressed, or with a less remarkable com- pression are surrounded or terminated by a membranaceous border: that I regard these distinctions however 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 Proteaceae is, that there is no really bivalvular capsule in the order ; a truth which was not perceived by Gsertner in 35] describing his Banksia dactijhides (the Concilium dac- tyloides 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 trulv folliculi as those of Grevil/ea, B/wjiala, or Embothrium ; and that the existence of a distinct placenta is by no means necessary to con- stitute this kind of fruit, is proved even by some genera of Apocineae, to wdiich family this term was first applied. A circumstance occurs in some species of Persoonia to which I 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 fcecundation interposed between the ovula ; and this gradually indurat- ing acquires in the ripe fruit the same consistence as the putamen itself, from whose substance it cannot be distin- guished ; 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 ON THE PR0TEACE.E OF JUSSIEU. 23 chalaza, 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 in a different part of the seed. I am not aware of any function being ascribed to the chalaza 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 made induce me to suppose that it is the organ [36 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 chalaza and con- tinued to adhere to it : nothing has hitherto occurred to invalidate this opinion, which is here however hazarded merely as a conjecture, requiring for its confirmation more numerous and decisive facts than I can at present adduce. That the albumen 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 in which not a vestige of it remains ; and such has hitherto been supposed to be the case with Proteacege : nor are the few exceptions with which I am at present acquainted of so decisive a nature as to invalidate this cha- racter of the order ; for they occur only in some species of Persoonia, where the semi-fluid remains of this substance are observable between the cotyledons ; and in Bellendena, 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 may be necessary from the whole of their organisation to refer to this family. The radicula pointing towards the base of the fruit in 24 ON THE PROTEACEiE OF JUSSIEU. all Proteaceae is a circumstance of the greatest importance in distinguishing 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 external umbilicus. 37] If Gaertner had not described the plumula of Protea argentea, I should not have hesitated to assert that it was inconspicuous in the whole order. The number of cotyledons when more than two is a circumstance 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 family Protea, are in most cases similar to those already proposed by Mr. Salisbury in the Paradisus Lon- dinensis : from that essay however they are certainly not derived, but before its publication were formed and sub- mitted to the judgment of Mr. Dryander, at whose sugges- tion they are now offered to the Society. That the results of an examination conducted by two observers wholly inde- pendent of each other, are so similar, will probably be con- sidered as some proof of their correctness. As Mr. Salisbury's generic names have the unquestion- able 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 Leucaden- dron, 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 Linnaeus's knowledge of the family, I persuade myself that this will in some degree compensate for the otherwise unwarrantable length of the discussion. The name Protea, which originated with Linnaeus, first occurs in the folio edition of his Systema Naturae pub- 38] lished in 1735 ; no generic characters are there given, ON THE PROTEACEiE OF JUSSIEU. 25 but from the references 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. Tn 1737 appeared the Genera Plantarum, and in it for the first time the natural generic character of Protect : as in this work he only cites Lepidocarpodendron and Hypophyl- locarpodendron of Boerhaave, it follows that here the genus is more limited, though its character is not peculiarly ap- plicable to either of Boerhaave's genera referred to ; and the description of antheree 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 opinion of Protea, reducing to it all Boerhaave's genera, but referring to the character given 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 argent ea and salig?iay 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 what- ever. If Linnaeus is to be considered in a great degree the author of the Prodromus Florae 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 twenty- one species are charac- terised, of which however only two were in the Ley den 39 garden, the rest being described from specimens in Van Royen's Herbarium. In 1738 he also published his Classes Plantarum, in which, notwithstanding he appears to have composed it D. H. HILL LIBRARY fclorth Carolina State College 26 ON THE PROTEACE^E OF JUSSIEU. while engaged in the arrangement of Van Royen's collec- tion, another fluctuation of opinion occurs, Protect being limited as in the first edition 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 Naturae, where the names Protect and Leucadendron are both given ; but the references to Boerhaave are reversed, Protea being confined to his Conocarpodendron, and Leu- cadendron 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 Linnaeus received the Herbarium of Hermann, 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 ; bat from an inspection of the Herbarium itself, now in the Banksian collection, it appears that he had added generic names to most of them : of Proteae only three species exist in the volume, of which Protea conoearpa is one : of this there are on the same page two specimens, whose heads of flowers are separately pasted ; under one of these specimens he has written Leucadendron, and under the second Pro- tea; to a specimen of Protea Serraria on a different 40] page he has given the name of Santolina. These facts are mentioned 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 Naturae appeared, where the essential characters of Protea and Leucadendron first occur, both of them evidently derived from the natural characters previously given. In 1753 the Species Plantarum, the most accurate of all his wTorks, wras given to the world; both genera are found ON THE PROTEACE.E OF JUSSIEU. 27 in it, their species characterised, and trivial names for the first time applied to them : of Protea there are only two species, P. argentea and fasca; to the former however he referred as varieties P. saligna, conifer a, and three others ; to the whole adding the following observation, which may he 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 frond e inter arbores nitidissima omnium ; at culta et captiva extra patriam exuit decus ; variat dein etiam domi mille modis vere Protea. " At this time he had in his Herbarium a specimen with- out 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 dif- fering 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 published the tenth edition of System a Naturae, where the essential generic characters are nearly c« the same as in the sixth, and the specific characters are copied from the Species Plantarum. Of this latter work the second edition appeared in 1762 : it contains two additional species of Leucadendron described from Bur m annus' s Collection and Plantae Africanse; Pro- tea argentea of the first edition is here divided into two species ; the first Protea argentea now so called, the second comprehending P. saligna, conifera, and three other nearly related species : to this latter the greater part of the obser- vation 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 spe- cies of Leucadendron are described : neither of these, how- 28 OX THE PROTEACEiE OF JUSSIEU. ever, he had in his Herbarium : the first, Leucadendron speciosum, he had probably accidentally seen, the antherae of which are described as filaments, and their callous apices alone as true antherae : the description of the second, L. pini/olium, is by Van Royen. In the twelfth edition of Systema Naturae published in the same year, the species of Leucadendron are arranged in a different, and, as the author intended, a more natural order ; from which it may be concluded that at this time considerable additions had been made to his Herbarium : but L. glomerabum is unaccountably 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 42] given to 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 description 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, can cell at a and conocarpa are omitted ; and Protea conifera of the second edition of the Species Plantarum is subdivided into three species, P. conifera, p aliens and saligna. In the thirteenth edition of the Systema Vegetabilium published 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. Zepidocarjjodendron. From this statement it appears, that Linnaeus in his earlier works had not sufficient materials for obtaining an accurate notion 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. 1st, He gave the genus Protea the same extent which he at length assigned to it in the Mantissa. ON THE PROTEACEiE OF JUSS1EU. 29 2dly, He limited it, leaving unnoticed that part to which at a latter period he exclusively applied the name. 3rdly, 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 lastly, Having acquired more perfect materials [43 and perceiving the insufficiency of his characters, he united them together, thus ending exactly where he commenced. But, as in this he has been universally followed for nearly forty years, Protect can no longer be considered as more strongly associated 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 Boerhaave, 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 Leucadendron is reducible to a smaller compass. Mr. Salis- bury is aware that the Linnean character of the genus is only applicable to Lepidocarpodendron of Boerhaave ; and therefore, consistently with the reasons which determined him in his application 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 Linnean names when accompanied 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 Linnseus's application of it is wholly unsuitable; 30 ON THE PROTEACE/E OF JUSSIEU. and it is at least to be expected that in his own appli- cation he is consistent with Plukenet, whom he means to follow. 44] 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 collection in the British Museum. Of his three species so named the first is Protect argentea, his " Leucadendros africana arbor tota argentea sericea foliis integris, Atlas Tree, D. Herman" of which the figure repre- sents a branch without fructification, and a separate fruit possibly of the same plant, but rather, as I suspect, belong- ing to a different species of the same genus. On the same plate is figured a single leaf, in all pro- bability belonging to P. conocarpa, with the following name, " Leucadendro similis africana arbor argentea folio summo crenaturis ftorida, 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 " Leucadendros africana, sen Scolymocephalus an gustiori folio cqncibus tridentatis" is a good figure of a flowering branch of Protea cucullata. It could not certainly from his publications alone be understood 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 Herbarium ; 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 supposed these two species to be the same, pasting between two leaves 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 45] explains why he referred P. cucullata to Leucadendros, its flowers being very similar to those of Protea hirta. As ON THE PROTEACEJL OF JUSSIEU. 31 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 TItymelea, &c., it is reasonable to conclude, that had he seen the flower of P. conocarpa 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 Leucadendros of Hermann, of Plukenet, and of Linnaeus himself, is Protea argentea, the only plant of the family to which the name can properly be applied ; to this therefore I have assigned it in the following arrange- ment. 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 access ; an advantage which has been greatly en- hanced by the opportunity 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. To Dr. Smith I am indebted for the permission of in- specting the Linnean Collection, and for the most friendly and satisfactory 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 by that of Sir Joseph Banks, has, with his [46 accustomed liberality, submitted it without reserve to my examination. Mr. Hibbert, who for many years possessed the most extensive collection of living Proteas that has ever been formed, and who also received from his intelligent collector Mr. Niven a valuable Herbarium of native specimens, most 3.2 ON THE PROTEACEiE OF JUSSIEU. 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, has given a greater value to his Her- barium by numerous observations on the sexes, the size, and places of growth, Avhich I have everywhere inserted on iiis authority.

Numerous observations on the same subject have also more recently 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 Dissertation 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 distinct species ; and thus also Bergius has founded his genus Aulax 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 Brabejmn and the spiked species of Protea, has erroneously suspected these to be monoicous, while he has totally overlooked the truly dioicous nature of the present genus. f Nux ventricosa, stylo toto calyceque persistentibns.

Obs. Mr. Salisbury has united such of the New Hol- land Protese as he had seen, into one genus, which he calls Atylus ; a name meant to express the want of those bodies that usually surround the ovarium, in this order, and which he chooses to term colli : but as I conceive they are certainly secreting organs, the name on this ground would be ex- ceptionable : my chief reason however for not adopting it, either for the present or the following genus, is, that the whole of his essential character does not apply to either of them. In his secondary character he has also considered them as monoicous, a mistake into which he has probably been led, not only from the striking similarity between the strobili of Petrojjkila and Leucadendron, but also from the style of the former remaining 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. pidchella as female, and the lesser ones, which frequently though not always surround 56 ON THE PROTEACEiE OF JUSSIEU. 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. f Stigma articulatum, articulo inferiore angulato, glabro, superiore tomentoso.

For the figure here given I am also indebted to the liberality of the illustrious President of the Royal Society, who has enabled me to complete the account of this re- markable plant, by permitting me to copy Dr. Solancler's description, which I was the more desirous to give, as it exhibits a specimen of the accuracy with which subjects of natural history were investigated in that celebrated voyage ; of whose important results it is to be lamented so little is known to foreign naturalists, though in this country they have ever been open to the public, and in the most ad- vantageous manner. 1G4 ON THE PROTEACE.E OF JUSSIEU.

In this genus, as well as in Lomatia, and perhaps in all those with an indefinite number of seeds, an extremely ON THE PROTEACEiE OE JUSS1EU. 167 thin black-brown crust is interposed between the ripe seeds, exactly corresponding with them in size and form, and which is probably the remains of a fluid matter that had separated them in the unripe state. The most important characters distinguishing this genus from Lomatia, seem to be the single semiannular or nearly circular gland, the cohering calyx, and the vascular wing of the seed ; for the Involucrum, which at first seems to [198 afford so excellent a distinction, considerably loses its im- portance in Teiopea truncata, in which it almost always includes the rudiments of branches, as in Hakea. In natural affinity Teiopea approaches much more nearly to Oreocallis, which differs principally in having no gland at the base of the footstalk of its ovarium, and in the want of an Involucrum : the wing of the seed seems (from the figure in the Flora Peruviana) to be in like manner vascular. Embothrium itself, which is also very near akin to Teiopea, is distinguishable by its vertical stigma, oval pollen, and naked corymbi. 1.

Dryandra of Thunberg, first published in Flora [212 Japonica, being not generically different from Aleurites, which was previously established by Forster, I have pe- culiar satisfaction in giving the name of my respected friend,. Mr. Dryander, to a genus so nearly related to Banksia, from which indeed it differs chiefly in Inflores- cence, but in that respect so widely as to be at once dis- tinguishable : there is also something in the habit, especially in the leaves of the greater number of species, by which, independent of the parts of fructification, the genus is pretty certainly indicated; and it is worthy of notice, that, while Banksia is generally spread over all the coasts of New Holland and of Van Diemen's Island, Dryandra has hitherto been observed only on that part of the south coast called Levvins Land, where, however, its species are nearly as numerous and abundant as those of Banksia itself. *1.

Leucadendron linifolium, foliis lineari-spathulatis aversis basi attenuatis ramisque glabris, capitulo masculo sessili foliis circumvallantibus longiore, calycis tubo barbato: laminis stylisque imberbibus. Protea linifolia. Jacq. Hort. Schcenb. 1, p. 11, t. 26. Obs. There can be no doubt of the genus of this plant, or of the individual figured by Jacquin being a male. Prom the same figure, by which alone I am acquainted with it, it seems to be very nearly related to Leucadendron tortum, from which it differs in having the male heads sessile, and in the laminae t)f the calyx being quite smooth. hw CADvmyRON fusciJloruM, foliis lineari-lanceolatis glabris junioribus rectis basi attenuatis, capitulo femineo foliis cir- cumvallantibus breviore, calycis laminis plumoso-barbatis : tubo pilosiusculo. Protea fusciflora. Jacq. Hort. Schcenb. I, p. 11, t. 27. This also is known to me only from JacqmVs figure, [217 from which it is unquestionably a Leucadendron, and a. female plant ; it can hardly however be supposed the female of the preceding species ; and though I have constructed a specific character for it, I think it is not improbably a variety of Leucadendron angustatum. Leucadendron. Protea linearis. Houtt. Nat. Hist. par. 2, vol. 4, p. 116, t. 19,/ 2, ed. Germ. vol. 3, p. 84, t. 19. This is undoubtedly a Leucadendron, and probably a female plant ; but from the figure alone its species cannot be determined. Leucadendron. Protea stellaris. Sims, Bot. Mag. 881. Seems to be a male plant, and apparently«different from anything I have seen. From the form of the leaves and the length of those surrounding the capital urn, 1 am 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. T- Leucadendron ? ? Protea glabra. T/iunb. Diss. n. &2. ON THE PKOTEACEiE OF JUSS1EU. 185 From the very short and unsatisfactory description of Thunberg, the genus of this plant cannot be determined, or even with much probability guessed at. Isopogon. Protea divaricata. And. Repos. 465. Can this be a variety of Isopogon anemonifolim ? The yellow flowers satisfy me that it is not a species of [219 Serruria, and prevent me at the same time from referring it to Isopogon anethifolius, whose leaves are not unlike, but whose flowers are of a very different colour. Protea. Protea venosa. Lam. Illust. Gen. 1, p. 234, n. 121.2. Poiret, Encyc. Botan. 5, j». 640. Said by Poiret to resemble in most respects Protea longiflora ; it must therefore be a genuine Protea. Protea. Scolymodendros Africanus ex Monte Tabulari. Pluk. Mant. 168, t. 442,/. 4. This is manifestly a Protea, which it appears Plukenet had seen only in the possession of Woodward. The head, especially in the form of the bractese, bears a great resem- blance to that of Protea cynaroides ; but the leaves are so very different, that, unless we suppose they were drawn from memory and disproportionately reduced, it cannot be referred to this species. It is probably however one of the more common kinds, and I know not what else to suppose it may be, except Protea grandiflora. The figure itself has never, so far as I know, been noticed by any author. Leucospermum. Scolymocephalus Africanus, foliis in summitate profundius crenatis, intercreniis majoribus, florum staminulis longis re- curvis. Raj. Hist. 3, Bendr.p. 10.

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.

These are manifestly Serruriae, but I do not venture to refer them to any of the species I have described ; nor are ON THE PROTEACE.E OF JUSSIEU. 187 there sufficient materials from which they may be charac- terized as distinct species. NlVENIA. Protea concava. Lam. Illust. Gen. 1, p. 234, n. 1217. Poiret, Encyc. Botan. o,p. 642. A species of Nivenia, and perhaps one of those described. NlVENlA ? Protea candicans. Thumb. Prod.

I know not to what genns this may belong ; but from the species near which Thunberg has placed it, it may be supposed to be either a Protea or a Leucadendron : if the latter, it is probably not very different from L. retusum.

Roll. 2, r222 p. 116, t. 265. The seeds of this remarkable plant, which I am acquainted with only from Labillardiere's figure and description, being unknown, and the internal structure of its ovarium not having been examined, its genus cannot be determined. Its regular and deeply divided calyx, the four glands at the base of the ovarium, and its vertical equilateral stigma, point out its near affinity to Knightia, from which it differs 188 ON THE PROTEACE.E OF JUSS1EU. in the style being deciduous, and perhaps also in the num- ber and form of its seeds. If these are but two in number, it would be still more nearly related to Orites ; but some- thing in its whole appearance, and especially its uncom- monly large bractese, indicates its being a distinct genus. According to Labillardiere, it is a native both of New Caledonia and the south-west coast of New Holland : but as I am acquainted with no plant of the order, which has so wide a range as this, and as it may be presumed the specimens from New Holland were very imperfect, other- wise so remarkable a plant would surely have found a place in the body of his work, I may be permitted to question the accuracy of the statement. I confess however that I know no plant of Lewins Land with which this could be confounded. Roupala pinnata. Lam. Illust. Gen. \,p. 243, n. 1282. Poiref, Encyc. Botan. 6, p. 317. Budge, PL Guian. 25, t. 38. There can be little doubt of this plant constituting a dis- tinct genus; but its fruit being entirely unknown, it is better to place it among those which require a further ex- amination. It was referred to Rhopala at a time when that genus wTas not at all understood. In its compound 223] leaves, its irregular calyx, and even in some degree in the glands subtending the ovarium, it seems to approach more nearly to Gevuina ; and I am therefore inclined to think its fruit will be found to be a drupa, and not a folli- culus as that of Rhopala. The whole plant however is so remarkable, that I here add a description taken from an excellent specimen, in Mr. Lambert's Herbarium, collected by the unfortunate Martin in Guiana; where it seems to have been first found by Richard.

I observed it only on the summit of the Table Mountain, at the southern extremity of Van Diemen's Island. The perfect flowers I have not seen, but have examined the ovarium so soon after fcecunda- tion, that I have no doubt of its containing originally only two ovula ; and as its base is surrounded by four glands, the calyx is probably regular. Hence its near affinity to Orites, with which it also agrees in inflorescence and appa- rently in stigma. The fruit is a smooth compressed coria- ceous follicule, containing two seeds, which are winged at both ends; on which account I have not absolutely referred it to Orites, but, until its flowers are discovered, have given it a temporary name, indicating its affinity to that genus.

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.

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.

ON THE ASCLEPIADE.E, A NATURAL ORDER OF PLANTS SEPARATED FROM THE APOCINEiE OF JUSSIEU. BY ROBERT BROWN, Lib. Linn. Soc. (Read 4th Not., 1S09.) [Extracted f ram the l Memoirs of the Wemerian Natural History Society; Vol. I, pp. 12—78.] EDINBURGH. 1811. |:i ON THE [is ASOLEP'IADEJ. The vast additions to the number of species which botany is constantly receiving, while they make a natural arrange- ment absolutely necessary to the general botanist, render it at the same time proportionally difficult. For though there are still many tribes of plants easily distinguishable even by a superficial observer, yet there are others, that hitherto have been thought abundantly distinct, which can no longer be circumscribed by means of characters taken from their organs of reproduction. This is perhaps now the case with the Rubiace^e and Apocine^e of Jussieu. It is true, that to an experienced observer, it may still be practicable to refer the greater part, perhaps the whole, of these plants to their proper places in a natural series ; [13 but it is, I apprehend, no longer so, to distinguish the two orders by definitions derived from the usual source. Such at least is the opinion T have been led to form from all that I have seen published respecting them, as well as from what I have lately had an opportunity of observing in New Holland. As, however, both these families are already too exten- sive, it becomes expedient rather to attempt their subdivision into smaller groups, which may possibly admit of more ac- curate limitation, than to unite them into one vast order, the distinguishing characters of which, could they be ob- tained, must probably be extremely vague, and clogged with numerous exceptions. Such a subdivision, it seems to me, may be easily made of the Apocineae, by employing 196 ON THE ASCLEPIADEiE. a character at once obvious and important, and which while it preserves the natural series unbroken, has the additional advantage of dividing the order into two nearly equal parts. To one of these which includes the genus Apocynum, the name of Apocineae will of course remain. The consideration of the other, which from one of its most remarkable genera I propose naming AsclepiadejE, forms the chief subject of the following essay; but the more completely to illustrate it, I have subjoined new, and I trust amended characters of the genera of the most nearly related section of the Apocinese strictly so called. The u] singular structure of the stamina in the Asclepiadese has attracted the attention of botanists since the days of Tournefort : it is therefore not a little remarkable, that two opposite opinions should still be held even respecting the origin of these parts, and that between these opinions bota- nists should be almost equally divided. In a paper w7hich was some time ago read to the Linnean Society of London,1 1 had occasion, in inculcating the neces- sity of examining the parts of the flower before expansion, to advert to this tribe of plants ; and I there entered at some length, both into the opinions generally received re- specting their male organs, and also into that which I had deduced from an examination of these parts before the opening of the corolla : and being unwilling to repeat now, what I then stated, I shall content myself with referring to the figures and descriptions published by Jacquin in the first volume of his " Miscellanea Austriaca," which give a correct idea of the state of the organs after expansion ; and only add the observations I have made on one species of the family, the Asclepias Syriaca, in the earlier stages of the flower. The flower-bud of this plant I first examined, while the unexpanded corolla was yet green and considerably shorter than the calyx. At this period, the gland-like bodies which afterwards occupy the angles of the stigma were absolutely invisible ; the furrows of its angles were ex- 1 [Ante, pp. G— 8.] ON THE ASCLEPIADE.E. 197 tamely slight, and, like the body of the stigma, green; the anthera?, however, were distinctly formed, easily separable [is from the stigma, and their cells, which were absolutely shut, were filled with a turbid fluid, the parts of which did not so cohere as to separate in a mass ; of the cuculli, which in the expanded flower are so remarkable, and constitute the essential character of the genus, there was no appearance. In the next stage submitted to examination, where the corolla nearly equalled the calyx in length, the gland-like bodies of the stigma were become visible, and consisted of two nearly filiform, light brown, parallel, contiguous and membranaceous substances, secreted by the sides of the furrow, which was now somewhat deeper : instead of the filiform processes, a gelatinous matter occupied an obliquely descending depression proceeding from towards the base of each side of the angular furrow. In a somewhat more advanced stage, the membranes which afterwards become the glands of the stigma were found to be linear, closely approximated, and to adhere at their upper extremity. At the same time the gelatinous substance in the oblique depression had acquired a nearly membranaceous texture and a light brown colour, and on separating the gland from its furrow, which was then practicable, this membrane followed it. At this period, too, the contents of each cell of the anthera had acquired a certain degree of solidity, a determinate form, and were separable from the cell in one mass ; the cuculli were [i6 also observable, but still very small and green, nearly scutelliform, having a central papilla, the rudiment of the future horn-like process. Immediately previous to the bursting of the cells of the anthera?, which takes place a little before the expansion of the corolla, the cuculli are completely formed, and between each, a pair of minute light green fleshy teeth are observable, the single teeth of each pair being divided from each other by the descending alae of the anthera?. The glands of the stigma have ac- quired a form between elliptical and rhomboidal, a carti- laginous texture, and a brownish-black colour; they are easily separable from the secreting furrow, and on their 198 ON THE ASCLEPIADE.E. under surface there is no appearance of a suture, or any indication of their having originally consisted of two distinct parts : along with them separate also the descending pro- cesses, which are compressed, membranous, and light brown ; their extremity, which is still unconnected, being more gelatinous but not perceptibly thickened. The pollen has acquired the yellow colour and the degree of consistence which it afterwards retains. On the bursting of the cells, the gelatinous extremity of each descending process becomes firmly united with the upper attenuated end of the corre- sponding mass of pollen. The parts are then in that con- dition in which they have been commonly examined, and are exhibited in the figures of Jacquin, who having seen i7] them only in this state, naturally considered these plants as truly gynandrous, regarding the masses of pollen as the antherae, originating in the glands of the stigma, and merely immersed in the open cells of the genuine antherse, which he calls antheriferous sacs ; an opinion in which he has been followed by Rottboell, Koellreuter, Cavanilles, Smith, and Desfontaines. The conclusion to be drawn from the ob- servations now detailed is sufficiently obvious • but it is necessary to remark, that these observations do not entirely apply to all the plants which I have referred to the Ascle- piadese, some of them, especially Periploca, having a granular pollen, applied in a very different manner to the glands of the stigma : they all, however, agree in having pollen co- alescing into masses, which are fixed or applied to processes of the stigma, in a determinate manner ; and this is, in fact, the essential character of the order. Dr. Smith, in the se- cond edition of his valuable " Introduction to Botany," has noticed my opinion on this subject ; but, probably from an indistinctness in the communication, which took place in conversation, has stated it in a manner somewhat different from what I intended to convey to him : for, according to his statement, the pollen is projected on the stigma. The term projection, however, seems to imply some degree of impetus, and at the same time presents the idea of some- thing indeterminate respecting the part to which the body is] so projected may be applied. But nothing can be more ON THE ASCLEPIADKJC. 199 constant than the manner in which the pollen is attached to the processes of the stigma in each species ; and as con- siderable differences in this respect take place in various species, I have with advantage employed these in the new generic divisions of the order which I have attempted to establish, and to which I now proceed. As I have everywhere mentioned the sources from which my knowledge both of genera and species is derived, it becomes unnecessary particularly to notice here the extent of my obligations to the unrivalled Herbarium of Sir Joseph Banks, who, with his accustomed liberality, has permitted me to examine, and, where necessary, to dissect such specimens as seemed to have any peculiarity of struc- ture, and has thus enabled me to found my genera on a more satisfactory induction than I could have done in any other part of the world. 200 ON THE ASCLEPIADEiE. ft < i— i Ph o co CO © «9 CO co O Ph pq i— i P-j 3 I— I p § & « O to 0.2 o 3 p. 2 Ph si *^h as Pe" CO S3 co uJ ° ^1 CO & P-( , — . o Q Em ^ •§.

The essential character of this extensive and sin- gular genus, consists, according to Linnaeus and all subse- quent botanists, in the double corona. But I have already shewn, that certain plants that have been referred to it, and which entirely accord in habit, have a corona of a single series ; and it will hereafter appear, that other, and very different genera, agree with Stapelia in this part of its structure. The genus, even as it is here limited, is capable of further subdivision ; and I have little doubt, that when the species become better known, such a subdivision will be found expedient, and probably from characters like the following, by which, in the mean time, it may be disposed into very natural sections.

This genus differs from Pergularia, chiefly in the want of the inner laciniae of the corona : it is therefore an arbitrary separation, and made principally to obtain clearer characters for both. The two species, with an elongated stigma, are perhaps not truly of this genus, but if separated from it, must form each a distinct genus. It is named in honour of William Marsden, Esq., ON THE ASCLEPIADE.E. 211 F.R.S., late Secretary to the Admiralty, and author of a very judicious and learned " History of Sumatra," in which, though it is evident that he has not made botany his par- ticular study, he has had the merit of turning the attention of botanists to several valuable plants, among others, to the Camphor- Tree of Sumatra, and to a species of this genus, Marsdenia tinctoria, said to afford the best indigo in that island. f Stigma muticum.

The character of Linnaeus was no doubt chiefly taken from a plant of ON THE ASCLEPIADE^E. 213 P. odoratissima, that had flowered in the Upsal Garden, and which he confounded with the Asclepias cordata of bors- kael, an error long since pointed out by Dr. Smith in his very accurate and satisfactory account of Pergularia odora- tissima.

Of Echites I have only examined E. umbellata, the original species when the species was established by Brown eo] in his " History of Jamaica ;" biflora, circinalis, and DomingPMsis : but, from the descriptions and figures of authors, especially of Jacquin, Swartz, and the authors of the " Flora Peruviana," I without hesitation refer to it the following species : E. suberecta Jacq. repens Jacq. agglutinata Jacq. asperuginis Swartz, torulosa Jacq. acu- minata Fl. Peruv. laxa Fl. Peruv. hirsuta Fl. Peruv. E. quinquangularis, Jacq. and annularis, Linn. Suppl. are probably not genuine species, on account of the prominent ON THE APOCINE.E. 235 ring of the faux, and E. glandulosa Fl. Peruv. which ac- cording to the figure has a crown of 5 entire lacinise and the segments of the corolla equal-sided, must be excluded from this genus. E. siphilitica, the specimen of which in the Linnean Herbarium I have seen but not sufficiently examined, is somewhat doubtful. E. noribunda, corymbosa and spicata are removed to another genus. The two re- markable species of South Africa, E. bispinosa and succu- lenta, require further examination ; for their peculiar habit indicates their being a distinct genus from Echites, which it would be desirable to limit to the species of tropical America : hence it will be necessary to re-examine certain plants of India that in many respects agree with this genus, especially Tsjeria-pupal-valli of Bheed, Mai. 7, p. 103, /. 55, which appears to differ from Echites chiefly in having a calyx longer than the tube of the corolla, in the scales sur- rounding the ovarium being united, (which, however, is [6i also the case in E. Domingensis,) and in the greater quan- tity and density of the albumen, which is between fleshy and cartilaginous. The authors of the " Elora Peruviana " have reformed the character of Echites, but the scales which they describe between the calyx and corolla will certainly not materially assist in distinguishing this genus from those most nearly related to it ; and I have observed a nearly similar struc- ture in most of the genera of this family, as well as of Asclepiadeae : these scales, however, truly belong to the calyx, and are either five or ten in number, or more rarely consist of an uninterrupted series of cilise, not unlike those which so frequently occur within the footstalks of the leaves. My observations are not sufficiently numerous to enable me to determine whether their modifications might not gene- rally assist in characterizing genera, and I have, therefore, very seldom had recourse to them.

Filamenta medio v. juxta basin tubi inserta, filiforioia. Anther or corolla, enters into my notion of a flower complete in all its parts. But from this type and number of pistilla many devia- tions take place, arising either from the abstraction of part of the complete series of organs, from their confluence, or from both these causes united ; with consequent abortions and obliterations of parts in almost every degree. Ac- cording to this hypothesis, the ovarium of a syngenesious plant is composed of two confluent ovaria ; a structure which is in some degree indicated externally by the division of the style, and internally by the two cords which I con- sider as occupying the place of two parietal placentas, each of these being made up of two confluent chord iilse, be- longing to different parts of the compound organ. I am well aware how very paradoxical such an hypothesis must seem, especially when applied to a structure apparently so simple as that of the ovarium of Composite ; and I there- fore regret that I am not yet fully prepared to bring for- ward in its support a series of facts already in my pos- session, consisting of deviations from the usual structure of organs, and particularly of instances of stamina changed into pistilla, 272 OBSERVATIONS ON THE NATURAL FAMILY In the mean time it may give some plausibility to the hypothesis to remark, that there are families of plants strictly natural in which a series of degradations exist, if I may so speak, from the assumed perfect pistillum, to a structure as simple as that of Compositae. Thus in Protcacece we have the type of the perfect pis- tillum in the many-seeded folliculus of Embothrium ; the first degree of imperfection in that of Grevillea, where only one ovuhnn of each series remains ; a further reduction in the indehiscent monospermous fruit of Zeucospermum, in which the insertion of the ovulum is lateral ; and the sim- 9i] plest form in Protect itself, where the single ovulum is inserted at the base of the cavity. Proteaceae, however, exhibit a series of obliterations in the parts of a single pis- t ilium only. An illustration more in point, though some- what less perfect as a series, may be taken from Goodenovia, an order of plants very nearly related to the class of which we are treating. In the greater part of Goodenovia. the ovarium is bilocular, each cell having an indefinite number of seeds ; in the greater number of Sc, basi bisetse. Stigmata filiformia, acuta, hispidula.

Palese receptaculi squamis 300 OBSERVATIONS ON THE NATURAL FAMILY The third species, Galea pinifolia, is adopted from Forster's Florulae Insularum Australium Prodromus. The specimen of this plant in George Forster's Herba- rium (now forming part of the extensive collection of Mr. Lambert) is very imperfect ; it evidently, however, belongs to the same species with a more complete specimen received, without a name, from Forster by Sir Joseph Banks, in whose Herbarium I have examined it, and ascer- tained that it has a naked receptacle. It therefore cannot be a species of Galea, which I have no~ doubt Forster con- sidered it merely from a certain degree of resemblance to his Galea leptopthylla. From the structure of its stigmata, antherse, and involucrum, Calea pinifolia belongs, indeed, to a very different tribe, and might even be referred to Gnaphalium as it at present stands. But this extensive and ill-defined genus evidently requires reformation ; and 122] if the necessity for its subdivision be admitted, it Avill also, I believe, be found most expedient to apply the name Gnaphalium to that section to which G. luteo-album, syl- vaticum, and uliginosum belong, and which is characterised by its naked receptacle, its involucrum connivent at top and of equal height with the truncated capitulum, which consists of numerous filiform female florets in the circum- ference, with a smaller number of hermaphrodite florets in the disk, both of them ripening seeds and having a sessile capillary deciduous pappus. To Gnaphalium so limited Galea pinifolia, a shrub with nearly acerose leaves, and in which all or most of the flos- culi are hermaphrodite and the radii of the persistent pappus somewhat thickened upwards, cannot be referred. It seems, however, to approach more nearly to Anten- naria, a genus separated from Gnaphalium by Gaertner, but which, as he has proposed it, consists of three tribes of intimis involucri subsimiles, et una cum iisdem deciduae.

I have not seen perfect seeds ; and as even in the unripe . fall off along with the inner squama? of the involucrum. and the anther* , . ject in a remarkable degree, it is possible the plant here described may be only the male of a dioecious species : it certainly/however, belongs to a genus not before published. OF PLANTS CALLED COMPOSITE. 301 plants sufficiently dissimilar in habit and structure to justify a further subdivision ; and, what is remarkable, none of them entirely agreeing with his generic character. The first tribe consists of herbaceous plants, natives of Europe and North America, having the male and female flosculi in distinct involucra and on different individuals. To this genus the name Antennaria1 may remain, though 1 Antennaria. Antennarise species. Gartner. Gnaphalii species. Linn. Jussieu. Involucrum imbricatum, scariosum, coloratum.

Pappus marium niveus, opacus. Obs. Gnaplialium margaritaceum, which I have referred to this genus, was first described by Clusius ; from whose account it appears to have been intro- duced into the English gardens from America towards the end of the sixteenth century. It has ever since been very generally cultivated, as an ornamental plant, both in this country and on the continent of Europe ; and has a place in several of the European Floras, as well as in those of North America. It is surprising, therefore, that hitherto the male plant only should have been observed, uni- formly, however, considered as hermaphrodite, except by M. Cassini, who in his first memoir on Synanl/iera (in Journal de Physique, tome lxxvi, p. 200) sus- pects it to be male, from the imperfect appearance of the ovarium. That this species of Gtiaphalium is really dioecious, I learned several years ago from an inspection of a specimen of the female plant in the Herbarium of Sir Joseph Banks, who found it on the banks of the Hymney in Glamorgan- shire, where the plant was first observed by Lhwyd. I have since received several specimens of both sexes from Mr. Bicheno, to whom I had mentioned this fact, and who obligingly undertook to observe the different states of the plant in the same place, where it seems to be really indigenous. I have never been able to discover any female florets in the circumference of the capitulum of the male plant ; but in the centre of the female capitulum I have always found two or three imperfect male florets, whose antherae, although cohering and of the usual form, appear to be destitute of pollen. The separation of sexes in a still more common plant of this class, namely, Serratula tinctoria, has been equally overlooked. All the authors who have noticed this species, which is included in almost every European Flora, as well as in more than one recent Monograph of the genus, have considered it as hermaphrodite, while it really belongs to Poly- gamia dicecia, or has its perfect sexual organs on different plants. The herma- phrodite plant, apparently perfect, but which I believe very seldom ripens seed, is well figured by Schkuhr (in Botanisches Handbuch, tab. 234) ; and the female, whose stigmata are remarkably developed and undulated, while the 302 OBSERVATIONS ON THE NATURAL FAMILY 123] descriptive of the pappus of the male flower only. Its species are Gnaphalium dioicum Linn., alpinum L., car- paticum Wahlenberg, plantagineum L., and margarita- ceum L. The second tribe, consisting of Gnaphalium Leontopodium 124] and Leontopodioides, which may be called Leonto- podium, is in affinity intermediate between Antennaria and Gnaphalium as here limited, but has sufficient characters to distinguish it from both. The third tribe has been found only in South Africa, and consists of shrubs with small rigid heath-like leaves, of which the margins are incurved, the upper surface tomentose, and the under convex and nearly smooth ; but by a remarkable twisting they are in most of the species resupinate ; a character which seems to have been over- looked in all the described species ; namely, Gnaphalium muricatum, mvcronatum, and seriphioides. In this tribe, or genus, which may be named Metalasia, the involucrum is generally cylindrical, and in most of the species has a short radius formed by the spreading coloured laminae of the inner scales ; the flosculi are few in number, and all hermaphrodite ; and the radii of the pappus, which fall off separately, are either thickened or more strongly toothed at top. Calea jnnifolia does not even belong to this genus, though it has a nearly similar habit ; but the margins of its leaves are revolute, and their tomentum chiefly on the under surface. In these respects, as well as in the prin- cipal characters of fructification, it agrees with several shrubs, chiefly of New Holland and Van Diemen's Island ; among which are Mwpatorium ferrugineum, Eupatorium rosmarinifolium, and Chrysocoma cinerea of M. Labillar- diere. Part of these have the inner squamae of the invo- lucrum simple, as seems to be the case in Calea jrinifolia ; antherae are evidently imperfect, and which generally produces ripe seeds, is represented in English Botany (tab. 38), in Flora Danica (281), and probably also in Sven^k Botanik (170). For my knowledge of this fact respecting Ser- ratula tineloria I am indebted to the Rev. Robert Bree of Camberwell, who pointed out to me both its states, which he was then disposed to consider as distinct species. OF PLANTS CALLED COMPOSITE. 303 while in others, as the two species referred to Eupatorium by M. Labillardiere, they form a short radius. These I am inclined to consider merely sections of one and the same genus, which may be distinguished by the following character, and named OZOTHAMNUS.

From this genus he after- wards removed it, probably on finding it referred to Calea in the collection of Sir Joseph Banks, by whom it was dis- covered in New Zealand in a more perfect, at least in a more luxuriant state. This plant, though agreeing with Calea in every part of the Linnean essential character, differs remarkably from it in other points of nearly equal importance, as well as in habit ; and along with Calea aculeata of M. Labillardiere, and several other species also natives of New Holland and Van Diemen's Island, constitutes a genus very near]) 304 OBSERVATIONS ON THE NATURAL FAMILY related to Ozothamnus, from which it is to be distinguished chiefly by the paleae of its receptacle. W I propose to name this genus in honour of M. Henri Cassini, whose well-conducted investigation of Composite has already thrown much light on the structure and economy of the more important parts of fructification of this difficult class: and especially of those organs from which the distinguishing characters of Cassinia are here derived. I shall add the characters of the species of this genus, which, like Ozot/iamnus, admits of subdivision into two sections; and I have appended to it Calea spectabilis of Labillardiere, a plant corresponding with it in character, but differing very much in habit from all the other species.

(v. v.) 129] Since the publication of Willdenow's Species Plan- tarum very few alterations have been made in the genus Calea. In Persoon's Synopsis two of the species are excluded ; namely, Calea scqparia, which, following Swartz, he has referred to Baccharis ; and Calea aspera, adopted from Richard as a species of Melanantliera. The additional species in the work referred to are C. cordifolia of Swartz, already noticed as a genuine Calea ; C aculeata and sjjec- tabilis of Labillardiere, which belong to Cassinia ; and C. cordata, adopted from Loureiro, of whose plant nothing is known except from the short description in Flora Cochin- OF PLANTS CALLED COMPOSITE. -307 chinensis, which is only sufficient to render it probable that it neither belongs to Galea as I have proposed to limit it, nor to any of the genera hitherto confounded with it. M. Poiret, in the Supplement to the Botanical Dictionary of the Encyclopedic Methodique, has under the article Calea retained all the species of this genus given by Persoon ; and also Calea asp era ; which, however, he has in a sub- sequent article correctly referred to Melananthera. Connected with the proper subject of this paper, I shall describe and add some observations on a plant lately sent from Brazil by Mr. Sellow ; which, though not strictly refer- able to Composite, probably belongs to a genus at present included in this family ; and conclude with a few remarks on the structure and affinities of Brunonia.

Notwithstanding the great difference between my account of this plant and that given by M. de Jussieu of Acicarpha tribuloides, I have very little doubt that they both belong- to the same genus ; though from the above description it is evident that Acicarpha spathulata is not referable to Compositae. To this plant Calycera of Cavanilles, in the seeds of which M. Correa has found albumen, seems to be very nearly related ; and a third genus, probably refer- able to this group, is Boopis, described by M. cle Jussieu in the same Memoir with Acicarpha. The important characters, however, of the pendulous ovulum and inverted embryo remain to be ascertained in all these; and the presence of albumen in Acicarpha tribuloides (in Acicarpha lanata of Lagasca in Pers. Syn. ii. p. 488, if it really belong to this genus), and in both species of Boopis. Another [132 question respecting the latter genus is, whether its capitu- lum be simple, as it certainly is in Acicarpha spathulata ; or compound, as Jussieu's figure of Boopis anthemoides seems to indicate. In the mean time, with the necessary knowledge of structure of Acicarpha spathulata only, I shall venture to propose this group as a distinct natural family to be placed between Compositae and Dipsaceae ; though upon the whole somewhat more nearly approaching to Compositae. This family, if my conjectures respecting Calycera and Boopis should be hereafter verified, may be called CALYCEREiE ; Acicarpha even as a generic name being barely tenable, provided the original species agrees with that here described : for on this supposition M. de Jussieu has mistaken the laciniae of the perianthium for paleae of the receptacle, deriving the name of the genus from their form ; and has entirely overlooked the real paleae, which, though they could not have suggested this name, may however sanction its being retained, if it be not still better to change it to A ci carp a. 310 OBSERVATIONS ON THE NATURAL FAMILY It will be attended with similar advantage to form a separate family of Erunonja, as a link of equal importance, connecting Composita? with Goodenovice, but from both of which it is in many respects very distinct. As I have formerly described this genus, and made several observations on its principal affinities,1 T shall here only state the more important relations and distinctions between it and those families to which it appears to me most nearly to approach. Brunonia agrees with Goodenovia in the remarkable indusium of the stigma ; in the structure and connexion of 133] the antherae; in the seed being erect; and essentially in the aestivation of corolla. ' It differs from them in having both calyx and corolla distinct from the ovarium ; in the disposition of vessels in the corolla ; in the filaments being jointed at top ; in the seed being without albumen ; and in its remarkable inflorescence, compatible, indeed, with the nature of the irregularity in the corolla of Goodenovia, but which can hardly coexist with that characterizing Lobel'iacece? With Composites it agrees essentially in inflorescence ; in the aestivation of corolla ; in the remarkable joint or change of texture in the apex of its filaments ; and in the struc- ture of the ovarium and seed. It differs from them in having ovarium liber am or super urn ; in the want of a glan- dular disk ; in the immediately hypogynous insertion of the filaments ; in the indusium of the stigma ; and in the vascular structure of the corolla, whose tube has five nerves only, and these continued through the axes of the laciniae, either terminating simply (as is at least frequently the case in Brunonia sericea), or (as in B. australis) dividing at top into two recurrent branches forming lateral nerves, at first sight resembling those of Compositae, but which hardly reach to the base of the laciniae. It is a curious circumstance that Brunonia should so » Prod. Flor. Nov. Hull. p. 589. 2 See Flinders's Vojage to Terra Aubiralis, ii. p. 55'J [col. i, p. 32]. OF PLANTS CALLED COMPOSITE. 311 completely differ from Compositge in the disposition of vessels of the corolla, while both orders agree in the no less remarkable structure of the jointed filament; a character which had been observed in a very few Compositse l only before the publication of M. Cassini's second Dissertation, where it is proved to be nearly universal in the order. In the opposite parietes of the ovarium of Brunonia two nerves or vascular cords are observable, which are continued into the style, where they become approximated and parallel. This structure, so nearly resembling that of Compositse, us* seems to strengthen the analogical argument in favour of the hypothesis advanced in the present paper — of the com- pound nature of the pistillum in that order, and of its type in phaenogamous plants generally ; — Brunonia having an obvious and near affinity to Goodenovice, in the greater part of whose genera the ovarium has actually two cells with one or an indefinite number of ovula in each ; while in a few genera of the same order, as Dawpiera, Biaspasis, and certain species of Sccevola, it is equally reduced to one cell and a single ovulum. Sir James Smith, in establishing Brunonia as a genus, is disposed to refer it to Dvpsacea. To certain species of this order it, indeed, bears a striking resemblance in habit; it also very nearly agrees with them in its remarkable inflo- rescence ; and one great objection to its union with them may be supposed to be removed in adopting M. Decandolle's account of their ovarium. But as Brunonia differs from the whole order in the following characters, all of which are of primary import- ance ; — namely, in the origin and aestivation of corolla ; in the insertion and whole structure of stamina ; in the indu- sium of the stigma ; in the ovulum being inserted at the base of the cavity of the ovarium ; in the erect embryo and want of albumen ; — 1 continue to think that its proper place in the natural method is between Goodenov'ue and Composite. 1 Batsch Anal. Mor. p. 107 ; et Schkuhr Handb. tab. 236 et 24 \. 312 OBSERVATIONS ON THE NATURAL FAMILY I shall conclude this subject, by proposing a few queries respecting the indusium of Brunonia and Goodenovice. Is this remarkable covering of stigma in these families merely a process of the apex of the style ? or is it a part of distinct origin, though intimately cohering with the pis- tillum ? On the latter supposition, may it not be con- sidered as analogous to the glandular disk surrounding or 135] crowning the ovarium in many other families ? And, in adopting the hypothesis I have formerly advanced 1 res- pecting the nature of this disk in certain families, — namely, that it is composed of a series of modified stamina, — has not the part in question a considerable resemblance in appa- rent origin and division to the stamina of the nearly-related family Stylidece ? To render this supposition somewhat less paradoxical, let the comparison be made especially between the indusium of Brunonia and the imperfect antherae in the female flowers of Forstera. Lastly, connected with this view, it becomes of importance to ascertain whether the stamina in Stylidece are opposite to the segments of calyx or of corolla. The latter disposition would be in favour of the hypothesis. This, however, is a point which will not be very easily, de- termined, the stamina being lateral. In the mean time, the existence and division of the corona faucis in Btylidium render it not altogether improbable that they are opposite to the segments of the corolla. Since the preceding paper was submitted to the Society, M. Cassini has published2 the substance of a Memoir, which he read to the Academy of Sciences of Paris in August last, on a new family of plants named by him BoopiuEiE, and consisting of Calycera, Boopis, and Aci- carp/ta. I have also, through the liberality of Messrs. de Jussieu, Desfontaines, and Baron Delessert, had the oppor- tunity of examining specimens of Acicarpha tribuloides in 133.1 1 Liun. !Soc. Transact, x. p. 159. [Ante, p. 8 Bulletin dcs Sciences, 1S1(>, ]>. 160. OF PLANTS CALLED COMPOSITE. 313 flower and fruit, of both species of Boopis in flower, and detached flowers and pericarpia of Calycera. In all of these I have found the ovulum pendulous ; and in Acicarpha and Calycera an inverted embryo occupying the axis of a fleshy albumen. My conjectures, therefore, on their struc- ci36 ture and relation to Acicarpha spathidata of the preceding paper, are completely verified by this examination, as well as by the observations of M. Cassini, who with his usual acuteness has detected the principal characters distinguish- ing Boopidece from Compositse and Dipsaceae, between which he has also placed them. As M. Cassini's Memoir, though read subsequently to mine, is already published, the name Calycerece, which I have proposed for this family, is superseded by that which he has given it. But as his account of the order is by no means complete, several characters of considerable, though not primary, im- portance being entirely omitted, I may be allowed to add to my paper some remarks on the more essential points of resemblance and difference between it and the two families to which it is most nearly related. The principal characters distinguishing Boopidece from the whole of Composite are the pendulous ovulum and the albumen inclosing the embryo, of which the radicle points to the apex of the pericarpium. It appears to me necessary to state all these characters, and nearly in the terms in which they are here given : for, 1st, A pendulous ovulum most frequently, indeed, is not, however, invariably con- nected with radicula supera, though that direction of radicle might here, as well as in Compositse, with confidence have been inferred from the vascular structure of the ovulum.1 2dly, Where the insertion of the ovulum is, as in this family, evidently below the upper extremity, the radicle 1 Some of the indications in many cases afforded by the structure of the uu- impreguated ovulum, of the position and direction of the parts of the future embryo, have hitherto been overlooked : the subject, however, for its elucida- tion requires details incompatible with the limits of the present communication. I have in another place (Flinders's Voyage to Terra Australis, ii. p. 601 [vol. i, p. 77]) thrown out a similarhint, which lias probably attracted no atten- tion, and must reserve the explanation of both for a separate essay. 314 OBSERVATIONS ON THE NATURAL FAMILY 137] which points to this extremity cannot in strict propriety be described as directed towards the umbilicus. M. Cassini has not noticed the direction of the radicle ; either from supposing it constantly connected with that of the ovulum, or, which is more probable, from not having ascertained it. These distinctive characters may be considered as fully sufficient to authorise the separation of Boojndea from Composite ; yet the same differences exist between certain genera referred and reallv belonging to TLubiacece and the principal part of that order. There are, however, three other characters unnoticed by M. Cassini, which distinguish the flowers of Boojrklece from the hermaphrodite flowers of the whole of Compositae ; namely, the accretion of the base of the style with the tube of the corolla ; the absence of the epigynous disk or nec- tarium ; and the longitudinal subdivision of each cell of the anthera by a " receptaculum pollinis," as in most other families, and of which, indeed, there seems to be the rudi- ment in the syngenesious genus Petrobium, described in the preceding paper. In the partial cohesion of the antherae, in which they re- semble Jasione, they certainly differ from all known Com- positae : but as in certain Composite the antherae are very slightly connected or entirely distinct ; — this, though a re- markable circumstance, can hardly be employed as a dis- tinguishing character. The principal characters in which Boopidece differ from the greater part, though not from the whole of Compositae, are the corolla being continuous, or not jointed, with the ovarium ; the anthera? having no membranaceous appendix at top ; and the undivided stigma. Boojjtdece differ from Dipsacece in the vascular structure and valvular aestivation of corolla ; in the aestivation, inser- 138] tion, and connexion of antherae; in the absence of the partial involucrum ; and in having alternate leaves. In adopting M. Decandolle's description of Dipmceai} they would differ also in the important character of " ova- 1 Elor. Franc. ome ed. vol. iv. ]>. 221. OF PLANTS CALLED COMPOSITE. 315 rium inferam." This distinction, however, is neither uni- versal, nor I believe absolute in any case. M. Auguste Saint Hilaire in his excellent Memoir on Primulacece} while he admits the correctness of M. Decan- dolle's account with respect to great part of Dijjsacece, has at the same time well observed, that in several species of Scabiosa the ovarium is entirely united with the tube of the calyx. But neither of these authors has remarked the curious, and I believe peculiar, circumstance, of the base of the style cohering with the narrow apex of the tube of the calyx, even in those species of the order in which the dilated part of the tube is entirely distinct from the ovarium. This kind of partial cohesion between pistillum and calyx is directly opposite to what usually takes place, namely, the base of the ovarium being coherent, whilst its upper part is distinct. It equally, however,, determines the apparent origin or insertion of corolla and stamina, producing the unexpected combination of " flos superus " with " ovarium liberum-" In the vascular structure of the corolla Boojndece may be considered as essentially agreeing with Composite, in many of whose genera the middle nerves of the tube and seg- ments are equally manifest. In stating the character derived from this source in either of these orders, it is not sufficient to describe the nerves of the lacinise only as M. Mirbel has done in his character of Composite/ and M. Cassini in that of Boopidese : but it is also necessary to give their [iso disposition in the tube or undivided part of the limb ; there being instances in both families where the lateral nerves of the segments do not unite at top ; and, as has been formerly remarked, several examples in other families of a nearly similar disposition in the segments, accompanied by a different disposition in the tube. To the examples of this kind formerly given, Globularia cordifolia may be added, in the segments of whose lower lip there are three simple nerves, of which the lateral do not unite at top, and con- 1 Mem. du Mus. d'LIist. Natur. ii. p. 17. - Elements de Physiol. Veget. ct de Botan. ii. p. S85. 316 OBSERVATIONS ON THE NATURAL FAMILY tinue distinct nearly to the base of the tube, where they converge and appear to unite with the middle nerve. In Acicarpha and Boopis the filaments appear to me jointed as in Composites ; a character I have not been able to observe in the very few flowers which I have examined of Cahjcera. In Acicarpha the florets of the circumference are herma- phrodite and apparently complete, the antherae containing pollen and the ovaria producing seed ; while those of the disk are male with an incomplete pistillum. Such an arrangement has not hitherto been observed in Composite, in which, wherever the central florets are male with an imperfect pistillum, those of the circumference are female with or without the rudiments of stamina. The regularity in the order of expansion of flowers from the base to the top of the capitulum in Acicarpha tribu- hides and spatliulata, and the irregularity, approaching to the inverted order, which I have found to exist in both species of Boopis, seem to prove the capitulum to be simple in the former genus and compound in the latter, notwithstanding the great resemblance between their invo- lucra. The exact nature of its composition, however, in Boopis can only be satisfactorily determined in recent spe- cimens. 140] This irregular expansion in Boopis, which renders even the generic name improper, and at present the want of satisfactory characters to distinguish it from Calycera, are objections to the name M. Cassini has chosen for this family ; while that of Calycerece, which I have proposed, derived from the genus first described, and applicable to all the genera of the order, appears to me unexceptionable : especially as there seems no reason to doubt that the part which I have considered as calyx in Boopidece is really such ; its divisions being generally in equal number, and alternating with those of the corolla. It may be observed that a like alternation of the divisions of the pappus with the segments of the corolla obtains in those genera of Com- positae where both parts are in equal number. But in some cases, where the division of pappus is still further OF PLANTS CALLED COMPOSITE. 317 reduced, the same alternation does not exist, especially in those genera having vertically compressed pericarpia and two aristae, as Spilanthus and Salmea. The absence of " discus epigynus" in Boopidece is a necessary consequence of the accretion of the base of the style with the tube of the corolla. It seems to me, how- ever, that a modification of the same organ may be traced in the five thickened areolae observable within and near the base of the tube formed by the filaments in Acicarpha sjjci- thdata ; and much more distinctly in the same situation in Boopis balsamitifolia, where they have the appearance of five adnate fleshy bodies alternating with the filaments. This apparent decomposition of the glandular disk in Boopidece, compared with its state in Composite, as well as its transposition and the alternation of its parts with the stamina, seem to give some additional support to the con- jecture I have formerly hazarded in the paper on Protectees, published in the Society's Transactions (vol. x, p. 1591); namely, that in several families — for the hypothesis is not meant to be extended to all — this part, even in its cui simplest state, may be considered as formed of a series of modified stamina : Or, merely to state the facts from which the conjecture originates, that there are certain families in some of whose genera this organ exists in its simplest form, that of an undivided fleshy ring ; while in other genera of the same families it consists of several distinct bodies alter- nating with the stamina, and in some cases putting on the appearance of barren filaments. This hypothesis is chiefly applicable to families in which the number of stamina is equal to the divisions of one floral envelope only, the nectarium being supposed to be formed of the second series : but it receives its principal support from Scitaminece,2 where the glandular bodies belong actually to the same series with the perfect stamen. I am aware at the same time of several objections to its generalisation. Thus, the nectarium or glandular disk exists in families where, though the stamina are definite, 1 [Ante, p. 133.] 2 See Flinders's Voyage to Terra Australis, ii. p. 574 [vol. i, p. 49]. 318 PLANTS CALLED COMPOSITE. they are equal in number to the divisions of calyx and corolla united; and moreover, in such families where it consists of distinct parts, these parts are placed where an addition to the number of stamina is least likely to take place, as in Crassulacece. Here, however, as in many other cases, the divisions of the disk are opposite to the ovaria ; they may therefore be supposed more intimately con- nected with the pistilla than with the stamina ; an opinion which is I believe held, though not yet published, by the ingenious M. Decandolle with respect to Ranunculacea. In support of this opinion it may be noticed that in Paonia Moidan, where the disk or urceolus is in the state of the greatest development, when a multiplication of the pistilla takes place, which in the double-flowered varieties of this 142] species it not unfrequently does by the addition of one or more inner series, the rudiments of an analogous disk are produced along with each of the additional series. Yet, in opposition to this view, I have in a single instance found one of the divisions of the urceolus in Pceonia Moutan changed into an anthera ; and the divisions of the ap- parently analogous organ in Aquilegia, which in their usual state resemble barren filaments, have sometimes been observed with perfect antherse.1 1 Schkuhr Ha dbuch, tab. 146.

PLANTS EEOM THE APPENDIX TO CAPTAIN FRANKLIN'S NARRATIVE. [" In drawing up the list, imperfect as it is, I have received cl much assistance from able botanists. To Mr. Brown I am under the greatest obligations, not only for the liberal use of the Herbarium and Library, which, so happily for sci- ence, have been placed in his possession ; but also for the friendly manner in which he aided my researches, and con- descended to solve the doubts so frequently presenting themselves to one little versant in these pursuits. In addi- tion to this general assistance, he kindly superintended the botanical drawings, and has enriched my catalogue with the lists of the Cyperoideas (including the Carices), the Graminese, Junci, and Eilices, and, with the accounts of the genera Eutoca, Heuchera, and Cryptogramma." — Dr. Richard son.] 12.

NAMES AND OBSERVATIONS ON INDIAN PLANTS. 54?9 Cypripedium} as well as in the sterile petal oid processes similarly situated in the other genera, as in Biuris. And the third stamen of the inner series, still more altered in form, may be considered as present in certain New Holland genera, especially Glossodia, where this supposed stamen is placed within the labellum, but entirely distinct from it; in Upiblema, Pterostylis, and Chiloylottis, in which an analogous appendage similarly situated coheres in various degrees with that division of the perianthium ; and perhaps it may be considered as indicated in all cases where the labellum is furnished with a process, however minute, arising from its axis. If the view here taken of the position of the lateral filaments in Cypripedium and Biuris be adopted, it may be remarked that indications or rudiments of the two stamina necessary to complete the order in Orchidece, of those, namely, corresponding with the lateral segments of the outer series of the perianthium, have not yet been observed in the regular structure of any plant of the order. They have, however, been occasionally met with in mon- strous flowers of Habenaria bifolia, in more than one spike of which I have found the greater number of flowers triandrous, the three antherae being equidistant, and placed exactly opposite to the three divisions of the outer series of the perianthium, the inner series of which remains in its ordinary state. M. Achille Richard2 has given an account of an [75 analogous monstrosity in Orchis latifolia. In this case of a triandrous Orchis, M. Richard having adopted the opinion, which I believe I was the first to advance,3 of the origin or nature of the auriculae of the anthera of many genera of Orchidece, considers the additional antherae as formed by the perfect development of these auriculae. This view, however, cannot be taken of the monstrosity of Habenaria bifolia, in which not only the auriculae of the anterior or ordinary stamen are distinctly present, but two 1 'Prod. Fl. Nov. Soil.,3 i, p. 309. - 'Mem. de la Soc. d'Hist. Nat. de Paris,' i, p. 202. 3 ' Prod, FL Nov. Hot!.,' i, pp. 309 Sr 311. 550 NAMES AND OBSERVATIONS ON INDIAN PLANTS. other similar processes, one on the anterior side of each of the additional antherae, also exist ; a fact which throws con- siderable doubt on the correctness of the view here referred to of the nature of these processes in OrchidecB, unless the same hypothesis could likewise be extended to all cases of trifid filaments, as those of Allium and Deutzia, to which the auricula? in OrchidecB may be said to be analogous. In ScitaminecB, the family most nearly akin to OrchidecB, the complete number of stamina may be considered very generally present. Only one, however, is antheriferous ; and this perfect stamen, instead of corresponding, as in OrchidecB, with the anterior segment of the outer series of the perianthium, is placed within the posterior segment of the inner series, the two remaining barren stamina of the same series being the epigynous glands or filaments exist- ing in all the genera of this order except Costus j1 while the outer series of stamina, very differently modified, form the innermost or supplementary series of the perianthium. This view of the origin of that series was many years ago communicated to me in conversation by the celebrated Correa de Serra ; but was first, I believe, published in 1826 by Professor Lestiboudois, in a memoir2 in which the correctness of the opinion held, namely, that ScitaminecB and CannecB possess rudiments or modifications of six stamina, is remarkably contrasted with the erroneous views taken, or rather adopted, of the greater part of the structures adduced in support of it. A more accurate account of the relative position of parts was given in 1828 by my ingenious friend Professor Von Martins. In confirmation of the opinion, I may remark that the cells of the ovarium, whose relation to the floral envelope appears to be very uniform in Monocotyledones? are in ScitaminecB opposite to the supposed petaliform stamina, and to the divisions of the outermost series of perianthium. I have formerly pointed out the difference in 1 c Prod. Fl. Nov. Holl.; i, p. 305. 2 ' Memoire sur la Canna indica el sur les families des Balisiers el des Ba- naniers* 3 Appendix to 'Den/iam and ClapperlotCs Travels,' p. 243 {vol. i, p. 300). NAMES AND OBSERVATIONS ON INDIAN PLANTS. 551 position of the antheriferous stamen in Scitaminece and that of Cannece or Marantece, and have remarked that this difference is in some degree analogous to that existing between Cypripedium and the other genera of Orchidea} Apostasia in its trilocular ovarium differs from all the genera of Orchidea ; but an analogous difference occurs in Scitaminece, in which Globba is distinguished from every other genus in having its ovarium unilocular, with three parietal placentae. And in both these families it may be proved that the constituent parts of the compound ovarium, whether unilocular or trilocular, agree in position or in their relation to the divisions of the perianthium. Lastly, Apostasia, in the economy of impregnation, or the state of the pollen, and the manner of its application to the stigma, probably differs essentially from all Orchidece, except perhaps Cypripedium and possibly Vanilla. But a similar difference, and in a degree still more striking, exists between Apocinea, as I have formerly proposed to limit that order, and Asclepiadece, which can only be regarded as a subdivision of the same natural class. — Brown MSS.

Ratzeburgia may be readily distinguished from all the other genera of Panicece, as I have defined that extensive tribe, in having at each joint of its rachis three locustae, of which two are sessile, fertile, and without aristae, while the third, which is merely rudimentary, consisting of a single valve, is supported on a pedicel entirely distinct from the rachis. In most of these characters, indeed, it agrees with Mnesithea of Kunth {Rottbollia perforata of Roxburgh), which differs, however, in having the pedicel of its third still more imperfect locusta, connate at both extremities with the rachis, and thus contributing to form the per- forated joints so remarkable in this genus. In Mnesithea M. Kunth considers the upper valve of the glume as belonging to a third univalvnlar neuter flosculus — an opinion which seems to be founded solely on its membranaceous texture, and which, if adopted, would exclude this genus from Panicece, as I have defined them, a definition which M. Kunth certainly does not adopt, as he has included in his tribe of Rottbolliacece several genera belonging to Poacece, namely, Lepturus, Oropetium, Psilurus, and Nardus. According to the view here taken of the structure of the two genera, Mnesithea would have nearly the same relation to Ratzeburgia in its more important characters that Rott- bollia has to Ischamum Rottbollioides, ' Prodr. Flor. Nov. Holl./ which I have in that work suggested might form a distinct genus. This genus has very recently been adopted by M. Brongniart, and named Codor acids, with a character, however, which, as far as regards the structure of the pedi- celled locusta, is so limited as to exclude both Ischcemum Rottbollioides, whose pedicelled locusta contains an her- maphrodite and a neuter flower, and Rottbollia Cceloraclds of Forster, in which that locusta contains two male flowers 554 NAMES AND OBSERVATIONS ON INDIAN PLANTS. This last degree of development of the pedicelled locusta extends to other species, and such species differ from Mani- suris merely in the form of the outer valve of the gluma of the sessile locusta. Two other views, different from that here adopted, of the structure of Batzeburgia, have been taken ; the first by M. Kimth, who considers, and perhaps more correctly, the third squamula as the upper valve of the hermaphrodite flower. According to the second view, wrhich is obviously suggested by the figure, the locusta would be regarded as containing one flower only. — Brown. 66] Aikinia Brunonis, Wall.

In the postscript to the ' Plantse Javanicse' Dr. Horsfield states — " On my arrival in England my zoological col- lections required my first attention, both with a view to their preservation and to their exhibition in the Honorable Company's Museum. It was therefore no less advan- tageous to myself than important to science, that Robert Brown, Esq., with a ready and disinterested zeal, undertook the examination and arrangement of my Herbarium. After much time and labour, every specimen of an extensive series of duplicates was examined, all the species of each genus were brought together, the entire Herbarium was distributed into families according to the natural method, and the basis of an accurate catalogue was formed. By this operation the number of species composing the Her- barium, which had previously been vaguely estimated, was determined to be 2196. " While engaged in this arrangement Mr. Brown noted in each family those subjects which appeared to possess the greatest interest, either on account of their novelty, or of their peculiarity of structure ; and from the subjects thus noted he finally made a selection, which it was pro- posed to publish under the title of ' Plantce Javanicce Mar lores! " It was at the same time determined that a series of figures for the illustration of all the subjects to be described in the work should be prepared. Although a considerable number of drawings had been made in Java by native 560 PLANTS JAVANICiE RAR10RES. artists, these were found useful only in the representation of the general character and habit of the subjects. Mr. Brown therefore undertook the task of preparing such dis- sections as were necessary for the illustration of the generic characters, or other interesting points of structure, and of generally superintending the execution of the drawings ; to this portion of the work Mr. Brown cheerfully devoted particular care and attention, and his experience in analysis of vegetable structure will be duly appreciated by Botanists. " After the completion of the drawings and of the illus- trative details, the subjects were put into the hands of the engraver, and Mr. Brown commenced the preparation of the text. In the prosecution of this task his public engage- ments, and other important scientific inquiries accumu- lating in a degree beyond what was expected when he commenced the work, it was agreed between Mr. Brown and myself that the original plan should be modified, and that the assistance of a coadjutor should be ob- tained. " On this point I have the satisfaction to state that J.J. Bennett, Esq., Mr. Brown's assistant in the Botanical Department of the British Museum, was found willing to prepare for the press such articles as were left unfinished by Mr. Brown, and likewise to co-operate generally in the preparation of the work. Mr. Brown has, agreeably to his original intention, contributed his remarks on the affinity and structure of the subjects described; he has also afforded many valuable suggestions in the progress of the work, and the whole has received his examination and revisal. " I embrace with pleasure and satisfaction the oppor- tunity now afforded me of publicly expressing my great obligations to Mr. Brown. The examination and arrange- ment of my Herbarium, the laborious duties connected with the superintendence of the figures contained in this work, the preparation of the illustrative details, and the time devoted to the description of the subjects, are by no means the only marks of friendship which I have received PLANTS JAVANIC.E RARIORES. 561 from that distinguished Botanist ; who ever since his arrival in England has afforded to me his advice and assist- ance in my researches connected with Natural History, and on many other important occasions."

Obs. ]. — Dr. Horsfield, who discovered this remarkable species in 1814, has the following observations respect- ing it. " I have four localities for this Fern. The most western is the mountain Karang, situated south of Bantam ; next the mountain Gede, south of Batavia; proceeding west- ward, Ptarangan ; and finally Mount Prahu ; the latter lies south-west of Samarang. It is remarkable that I never noticed it in my numerous excursions through the eastern provinces ; and I have concluded that it is not at all, or at least that it is very rarely, found eastward of the longitude of Samarang, which lies near the middle of the island, as far 564 PLANTS JAVANICE rariores. as regards its extent from west to east. From its striking physiognomy it conlcl not, I think, have escaped my notice. " It grows in clusters with fronds of different height, the tallest often equalling five or six feet. " Its range is above that at which rice can be cultivated in Java, which is about 5000 feet above the level of the ocean. It springs from the black vegetable mould, which very generally covers the mountains of Java." Obs. II. — Before entering on the subject of the affinities of Polypioduim {Dipteris) Horsfieldii, there are some parts of its structure deserving of notice. In the first place, the existence of the complete circle of vasa scalariformia separating the ligneous or fibrous vessels of the caudex into an outer and inner portion, though not peculiar to Dipteris, seems to be of rare occurrence among Ferns. It exists, however, in the caudex of Platyzoma (though not in that of Gleichenia) ; and I have observed it also in some (probably it will be found in all) species of Anemia. I have described Poly podium {Dipteris) Horsfieldii as having hairs surrounding the sorus, and mixed with the capsules, wThile in the nearly related species Polypod. {Dipteris) Wcdlicliii, the capsules, even wrhen fully formed, are imbedded in a gum-like pulpy substance, the remains of which may always be found, even after the spora are dis- charged. In the dried specimens examined this pulpy substance had no appearance of organization ; in the living plant, however, it will probably be found to be minutely cellular, as I have observed in the nascent sori of several species of Poly podium, in which the production of this cel- lular pulp precedes the formation of the capsules, and is generally evanescent soon after they become visible. The peculiarity in Polyjwd. {Dipteris) Wcdlicliii probably, there- fore, consists merely in the longer duration of this substance, in which perhaps the capsules of the greater number of Polypodia are formed. 3] Obs. III. — The Fern here described, and the nearly related species Polypodinm [Dipteris) Wallichii, form a very PLANTS JAVANIC.E RARIORES. 565 distinct section or subgenus of Polypodium, to which they must be referred, while the characters of that genus consist merely in its round sori, and absence of true indusium. But in adding two species, having so singular a habit, to a genus already too extensive, and including so many different forms, it must be evident that the present sources of generic distinction in this Natural Family are very insuffi- cient for its satisfactory analysis. The number of Ferns at present known, including un- published species existing in collections, may be stated at upwards of 1800. The Family has been subdivided into five primary groups. These groups are strictly natural ; they are not, however, of equal value as to the importance of their characters, and they are extremely unequal in extent ; the great mass belonging to that called Polypo- diacese, which has been divided into upwards of fifty genera, and contains about 1600 species. Of this number nearly one half, or 800, belong to five genera, namely, Polypodium, Aspidium, Nephrodium, Asplenium, and Pteris, as they are at present constituted, Polypodium alone consisting of about 300 species. The extent of Polypo- dium, therefore, renders its subdivision into natural sections or subgenera absolutely necessary. For such subdivision, not in Polypodium only, but in other extensive genera of Ferns the most obvious, as well as the most advantageous source of character seems to be the modifications of vascular structure, or the various rami- fications of the bundles of vessels, or veins of the frond, com- bined with the relation of the sori to their trunks or branches. On this subject many important observations have been made, and subdivisions founded on them proposed by several writers, especially MM. Bory, Gaudichaud, Kaul- fuss, Ad. Brongniart, and Blume. I may add, that I have at a still earlier period1 introduced the ramification and relation of sori to veins into the definitions of several genera, in which these characters had not been before em- ployed, and have more recently,2 in treating of Matonia, pointed out a natural and extensive group in Polypodium, 1 ['Prod, Fl. Nov. Holl.; i, p. 156-8.] 2 [Ante, pp. 542-3.] 566 PLANTiE JAVANICiE RARIORES. as being readily distinguishable by the sorus originating at the point of confluence of several veins. With respect to Dipteris, the section to which our plant belongs, there is no difficulty in distinguishing it from all other groups of Polypodium, and particularly from that now alluded to, if the dichotomous ramification of the primary veins be admitted into its definition. And as that ramification may be said to be necessarily connected with the peculiar division of the frond, this section, so con- stituted appears to rest on characters at least as important as those of several groups at present generically distin- guished from Polypodium, as Cyclophorus, Pleopeltis, Adeno- phorus, and even Grammitis, Selliguea, and Meniscium. If, however, the dichotomous primary veins are left out of consideration, no sufficient character remains to distin- guish Dipteris from that section of Polypodium, including P. quercifolium, diversifolium, and several other species, and which M. Bory has established, chiefly from the pre- sence of dissimilar sterile fronds, as a subgenus under the name of Drynaria. But the existence of these sterile fronds being neglected, Drynaria cannot be separated from that more extensive section comprehending P. phymatodes, lycopodioides, &c, and to which (including Drynaria) I have referred in my observations on Matonia, in Dr. Wallich's Plantde Asiaticce Rariores} These three subdivisions of Polypodium agree in having their sori placed on the point of confluence, or perhaps sometimes of divarication, of several branches of the anas- tomosing veins ; and Dipteris being distinguished by its dichotomous primary veins, the remaining two sections may form one subgenus, for which the name proposed by M. Bory may be adopted. In many species of Drynaria so constituted, the prin- cipal vein of the sorus is manifestly that in which the ten- dency to produce capsules is generally the greatest in the natural order ; namely, the lowest branch of the upper or inner side of the primary vein, or that branch which in the appendix to Captain Plinders's Voyage2 is considered as 1 [Ante, p. 543.] 2 [Vol. i, p. 60.] PLANTS JAVANIC^) RARI0RES. 567 having a relation to two different trunks ; in other species, in those particularly where the sori are most numerous, and not confined to that branch, it is often difficult to deter- mine the most important vein of the sorus ; and in Dip- teris it is hardly practicable. From Dry n aria, and from those species of it especially in which the principal vein of the sorus is distinctly marked, [4 the transition is easy to Polypodinm aureum, decumanum, and a few other species having anastomosing veins, and in which the sori are placed on the apices of two, or more rarely three, connivent ultimate ramuli, included in an area formed by the anastomosing secondary veins. But these species, from the identity of habit, may be included in, or appended to, a more extensive group, whose anastomosing veins form areas or meshes, in each of which only one sorus exists, and that terminating a single included branch. This section, which may be named Phlebodium, and whose species have either pinnate, deeply pinnatifid, or more rarely simple fronds, appears to me strictly natural, though it includes several species having the spurious in- dusium of Pleopeltis, and at least one with an oval or even oblong sorus. Next to Phlebodium in affinity, as well as in the ar- rangement of the sori, may be placed a group, most of whose species have simple fronds, and all of which are natives of America. In this group, which may be distin- guished by the subgeneric name Cyrtophlebium, the primary parallel veins are connected by transverse arched branches, from the convex upper side of which generally three (and never more than three) upright parallel simple veins arise, terminating within the area included between the proximate transverse arched branches : of these simple tertiary ramuli the two lateral are soriferous, generally below the apex, the middle branch being always sterile. In one species at least this branch reaches, and is united with, the arched secondary vein above it ; and in a few others it is entirely wanting. This arrangement in Cyrto- phlebium produces two series of sori between each primary vein, except in the lowest area, or that next the 568 PLANTS JAVANICvE RART0RES. midrib, in which there is one only, and that terminating the single vein exactly as in Phlebodium, into which this group passes by species having the habit of Cyrtophlebium, but with fronds so narrow, that they are reduced to the lowest areolae, and consequently agree in character with Phlebodium. An arrangement of veins and of sori analogous to Cyrto- pblebium exists in the real species of Cyclophorus or Niphobolus, none of which are natives of America : in all these the secondary veins are straight and parallel, instead of being arched ; they are also given off at an angle more or less acute from the primary parallel veins, which they connect ; and the tertiary or ultimate branches originating only on the upper side of each secondary vein are parallel with each other, more than three in number, and all of them bearing terminating sori. An extensive and strictly natural group may be next noticed, though it cannot be considered nearly akin either to any of the preceding sections or to the principal part of that which follows. This group or subgenus, the Lastrea of M. Bory, whose fronds are either bipinnatifid or simply pinnate, is chiefly intratropical. Its character consists in the secondary veins of the pinnate, and the only veins of the segments of the bipinnatifid fronds being perfectly simple and parallel, with one known exception reaching the margin of the segment, or in the pinnate species uniting with the corresponding vein, and each bearing a lateral sorus, generally about the middle, in some cases near the base, and in a few others proceeding from the base itself. The closest affinity of Lastrea is not to any group of Polypodium, but to that section of Gy nanogram ma, the division of whose fronds, and the disposition of veins, are exactly similar, and in which the sori form very short lines of like origin. As the only distinction therefore consists in a difference, generally very slight, in the form of the sorus, it appears to me (and I)r. Blume has made a similar remark) that these two tribes cannot be generically sepa- rated, especially as species belonging to both agree in PLANTS JAVANICLE RARIORES. 569 having pilose capsules ; and it is at least certain that the section of Gymnogramma referred to should be removed from that genus, and if still distinguished as a genus or subgenus, might receive the name of Pleurogramma. This section is also manifestly related to Meniscium, which, though readily distinguished by its technical cha- racter, may be considered as a subgenus of Polypodium, nearly approaching in vascular structure to the pinnate species of Lastrea, but differing in the sori terminating the corresponding veins at their point of junction, and by their confluence forming a semilunar line. It is deserving of remark, that in some, and especially the original species of Meniscium in that part of the frond where the power of producing capsules is the weakest, the sorus is transferred from the point of union of veins to the upright branch arising from that point, and from semilunar becomes round or sublinear. Lastrea may even be considered as approaching in [5 affinity rather more nearly to that section of Nephrodium, which M. Gaudichaud has separated under the generic name of Polystichum, than to any subdivision of Polypodium ; an approximation which appears to be confirmed by more than one fern, entirely agreeing in habit, in undivided veins and lateral fructification with this group of Nephro- dium, but having a short linear sorus, with an Indusium of corresponding form, inserted by its longitudinal axis in the middle of the sorus. To this group the name of Mesochl.ena may be given ; and though in general appearance it is abundantly different from Didymochlaena, it can only be distinguished from that genus, according to my view of the structure of its indusium, by its simple veins and lateral sori. The most extensive but least natural section of Poly- podium is that in which none of the veins anastomose, the sorus standing either on the apex, generally more or less dilated, of the branch, or distinctly below the apex, which is then scarcely or not at all dilated ; the vein when simple, or its upper soriferous division when branched, terminating within the margin of the frond or pinna. 570 PLANTS JAVANICiE RARIORES. Fohjpodium vulgare is one of the best examples of this section, which, however, comprehends species with undi- vided, pinnatifid, pinnate, bipinnate, and even decompound fronds, and these as various in texture as in division. Many species are found within the tropics ; but the section includes all the European Polypodia and most of those found in the higher latitudes of the southern hemi- sphere. As this section includes many of the earliest described species of Polypodium, it would require, if retained entire, no subgeneric name. But in a complete analysis of the genus it ought to be divided. The strictly natural sub- divisions, however, can hardly be characterised from modifications of vascular structure alone ; and I have not yet been able to detect sufficient differences, either in the capsules or seeds, by which they may be distinguished. That subgeneric or sectional characters may in several instances be obtained or assisted from the seeds of this Natural Order is not improbable, and in one case, namely Ceratopteris (or Teleozoma), including Parkerla in that genus, even the generic character appears chiefly to reside in the seeds, which in their unusual size and peculiar marking or striation entirely agree in all the species of the genns, while in the original species the annulus is nearly complete ; and in Parkeria, differing from the rest of the genus in no other point whatever, the ring is reduced to a few faint striae.

Ataxia along with Hierochloe and Anthoxanthum form a very •natural and well characterised section, which belongs rather to the tribe Avenacece than to Phalaridece ; and these three genera are in reality so nearly related that they may perhaps be more properly considered as sections of one and the same genus ; or at least Hierochloe and Ataxia might be united. It is deserving of notice that in all of them the upper valve of the hermaphrodite flosculus has a single nerve occupying its axis, and that one of the two stamina is placed opposite to this nerve. The co- existence of these two characters, both of which are remark- able deviations from the usual arrangement in Graminese, seems to invalidate the hypothesis respecting the com- position of the inner valve of the flower in this family.1 It might, however, be assumed that the median nerve in these genera is formed of two confluent cords, a view to a certain extent supported by the somewhat analogous struc- ture in the corolla of Compositse. It might also be assumed 1 General Remarks, &c. in Flinders's Voyage, vol. ii, App. p. 5 SO [vol. i, p. 55]. 572 PLANT/E JAVANICiE RARIORES. that the stamen belongs to the inner or complementary series, which is rarely developed in triandrons genera. One remarkable apparent exception to the usual order of development of stamina occurs indeed in a genns of grasses found in Abyssinia by Dr. Riippell, to whom I am indebted for the specimens I have examined. In this genus the locusta contains apparently a single flower, of which the gluma consists of two minute obtuse nerveless valves ; the perianthium is formed of two valves nearly equal in size, form, texture, and nerves, which are three in number, the middle nerve of each valve ending in a seta ; the stamina are three in number, but instead of being inserted as I have described those of triandrous grasses generally to be, they are placed within the upper or inner valve, the middle stamen being opposite to the median nerve ; the embryo also is placed on the side of the inner valve : hypogynous squamulae are entirely wanting. If the flower here described be really simple, it would present a still more formidable objection than Ataxia to the composition of the inner valve of the perianthium. But the arrange- ment of stamina, and direction of scutelluin or embryo, suggest another hypothesis with respect to the Abyssinian genus; namely, that the flower is not simple, but made 9] up of two flowers reduced to their outer valves. This latter view I am disposed to adopt, not only on consider- ing the usual order of suppression of the parts of the floral envelope in grasses ; but from the same degree of reduction actually existing in several Panicece, to which primary division of Graminece the Abyssinian genus would according to this view belong. It may be added that the genus referred to very remarkably agrees, both in habit and structure, with an unpublished genus discovered by Ehrenberg, likewise in Abyssinia (Podojjogon, Ehrenb. MSS.), and which unquestionably belongs to this primary division of the order. PLANTS J AV AN ICE RARI0RES. 573 SCLERACHNE PUNCTATA. lis Tab. IV. SCLERACHNE. Char. Gen.

I observed the plant here described and figured in the Island of Timor near Coepang, chiefly in shady places, but sometimes in more exposed situations, in April, 1803. The same species was several years after collected in many parts of Java by Dr. Horsfleld, who states that it grows "in shaded situations at no great elevation above the ocean, near rivulets and ponds, rarely in forests ; and that the native name is Turu-pencUeng ■." If I am correct in referring RhincJioglossimi obliquum to our plant, it was observed also by Dr. Blume in mountainous situations of the same island, flowering in February. By Dr. Wallich it was found in Nepal, Sylhet, and also in Martaban ; for although he has considered the plant from the last-mentioned region as a different species, named L. intermedia in his list, and for which Mr. Benthani has 580 PLANTS JAVaMC/E RARIORES. proposed a specific difference, yet I find that the greater number of specimens collected in Nepal in 1819, and sent by Dr. Wallich to Sir Joseph Banks in the following year, have the deeply divided calyx with very acute and narrow segments characteristic of L. intermedia, while among the specimens from Martaban, in Dr. Wallich's Indian Her- barium, in the Museum of the Linnean Society, both states of calyx occur. But though I am not disposed to regard these differences in calyx as of specific importance, it is right to state that all the specimens which I have examined from Java and Timor, as well as those from Jurreepanee in the collection of Dr. Royle, agree in having the broader less acute and shorter segments of calyx, as represented in Mr. Bauer's figure, and also in that of Dr. Wallich. With respect to the generic name Loxotis here adopted, it is that which I first gave in my manuscripts to the plant now described. This, however, I many years ago changed to Antonia, in compliance with the request of my lamented friend and fellow-traveller Mr. Ferdinand Bauer, to whom I was indebted for the figure here published. But as that name, by which it was introduced into a celebrated flower piece, painted in honour of the late Baron Jacquin at Vienna, and well known to the botanists of that capital, was never otherwise made public, and as Antonia of Pohl since published in his work on the " Plants of Brazil (vol. ii, p. 13, tab. 109)" is sufficiently established as a genus, I have been obliged to recur to my original name, under which indeed it has already appeared in Mr. Bentham's "Essay on Scrophularinse Indicse." The name Loxotis, however, may now be objected to from its too close resemblance in sound and identity of meaning, to Loxonia, another genus of the same family, more recently established by Dr. Jack ; and the specific name obliqua is hardly less exceptionable, being merely a translation of that of the genus. This difficulty would be easily removed were it absolutely certain that Rldnchoghssvm of Dr. Blume was identical with Loxotis; but from some of the characters ascribed to it I am not entirely satisfied that such is the case ; and, indeed, as it is arranged by its author with Rhinanthea, had I not re- PLANTS JAVANICE RARIORES. 581 marked that it had been referred with a doubt to Cyrtan- dracece by Professor Lindley, in his enumeration of the genera belonging to that family, I should probably have overlooked it altogether, as I had previously done with respect to Ejiithema of Blume, which the author included in Primuhcece, though unquestionably the same genus with my Aikinia, also belonging to Cyrtandracece. With regard to the genus itself, it may be doubted whether Loxotis and Ghssanthus ought to be generically distinguished merely or chiefly on account of the difference in the number of their antheriferous stamina, especially as they entirely agree in habit, in which there is something peculiar. It is not a little remarkable, that in some of the more minute and less important differences between them, the intermediate structure or connecting link should be found in a species sent by Dr. Schiede from Mexico {Ghs- santhus Meccicana, Br. ined.), and that this should be the only plant belonging to Cyrtandracea hitherto observed in any part of America.

Loxonia hirsuta of Jack, which, however, it appears from his description to resemble in so many points that it may actually belong to the same species, differing only some- what in the form of the leaves and in being less pubescent. Dr. Jack did not find his plant in fruit, neither did he ascertain the dehiscence of the capsule in L. discolor, from which the character of the genus was formed. In both species he describes the ovarium as bilocular, and the lobes of the placental as re volute. Dr. Horsfield found this plant in 1818, when he accom- panied Sir Stamford Raffles on his journey from Padang — one of the principal stations on the wrest coast of Sumatra — to the Menangaboo country, growing on the ranges of hills which extend parallel to the coast from N.W. to S.E., in shaded forests between 500 and 1000 feet above the level of the ocean. He did not observe it in Java. Tab. XXV. Fig. 1. Loxonia acuminata, natural size. Fig. 2. A flower, magnified. Fig. 3. An anthera. with a portion of the filament. Fig. 4. Style and stigma. Fig. 5.

Cyrtandrace.e, to which Loxonia and Loxotis belong, was established in 1822 : by the late Dr. Jack as a natural order, according to him most nearly allied to Bignoniacece, but differing sufficiently from that family in the structure of its fruit, especially in the placentation of its minute seeds. The existence or absence of albumen in the ripe seed is not expressly stated in his character of the order, nor is it noticed in the description of any of the species he has referred to it. It may, however, be presumed that he 1 'Linn. Soc. Trans.,' vol. xiv. p. 23. PLANTS JAVANICiE RARIORES. 585 believed the whole family to agree in this respect with Biynoniacem, next to which he had placed it ; and he had at least the proof of the absence of albumen in Roxburgh's figure of his Incarvillea parasitica, in which the structure of ovarium as well as of seeds is correctly given. The genera referred by Dr. Jack to this new family are Cyrtandra of Forster, Didymocarpus of Wallich, and Q07 two other genera for the first time proposed, namely, JEscJiynanthus, to which Roxburgh's Incarvillea parasitica belongs, and Loxonia. Nearly about the same time Mr. Don published his Didymocarpece} a family consisting of two of Dr. Jack's Cyrtandracece, namely, Didymocarpus and JEschynantJtus (his Trickosporum), and a new genus Lysionotas. He in like manner depends chiefly on placentation, which is not very clearly described; and he also introduces into his character the absence of albumen, the pendulous position of seeds, and the undivided stigma. From this family he excludes Cyrtandra, which has, he states, erroneously how- ever, a copious albumen ; while Chirita of Dr. (Buchanan) Hamilton, of which Dr. Jack's Didymocarpus includes at least one species, is doubtfully referred to Scrophdarince, chiefly on account of its bilamellar stigma. In 1826 Dr. Blume1 refers Cyrtandracece to the natural order Bignoniacece, distinguishing it as a tribe from true Bignoniacece by its pendulous seeds, and subdividing it into two sections ; the first, Tric/iosporte, with capsular fruit, and seeds either winged or with some other form of appendage; the second, Cyrtandrece, having baccate fruit and seeds without appendage. To each of these sec- tions he has added more than one new genus, but Loxotis and Loxonia are not included in either of them ; though Loxotis, as I have already stated, is probably his Bhi?icho- glossum, referred by him to Bldnanthece ; and Loxonia, notwithstanding his account of the fruit, may possibly be his Loxopkyllum, which he has placed in Scrophularince ; 1 'Edinburgh Philosophical Journal,' vii. p. 83, and 'Prodromes Three Nepalensis' p. 121. 2 ' Bijdragen? p. 759. 586 PLANTS JAVANIC.E RARIORES. while his Bpithema, my Aikinia, also belonging to Cyr- tandracece, he refers to Primulacece. It is somewhat remarkable that none of these writers should have adverted to the affinity of this new family to Besleriacece of Richard and De Jussieu, now generally named Gesneriacece. This affinity, however, did not escape Dr. Yon Martins, who in his elaborate account of Gesne- riacece, published in 1829,1 considers Cyrtandracece as sufficiently distinct from that order in the absence of albu- men and in having an inverted embryo : the latter character he states on. the authority of Mr. Don, who, in employing the term " Embryo inversus," can only have intended to express its direction with respect to pericarpium ; such at least is the real structure of those genera which he referred to his Didymocarpea?, and it is certain that in the relation of embryo to hilum both families entirely agree. Dr. Von Martius also notices the difference in the order of abortion of stamina between these two families, which is no doubt generally true, but admits in each of at least one exception ; Sarmienta in Gesneriacece, agreeing with Cyrtandracece in having only its two anterior or lower stamina antheriferous : and in tjiis latter family Aikinia or Ujjit/iema, which, as in the greater part of diandrous Ges- neriacece, has its two posterior or upper stamina perfect. There is indeed another, and that a very remarkable, distinction noticed in the position of the lobes of the stigma, which in Gesneriacece, according to Von Martius, are placed right and left in relation to the parts of the flower, and consequently opposite to the lateral parietal placentas; while in Cyrtandracece the lips of the stigma — for so it is necessary to express the fact in this family — are anterior and posterior, and therefore alternate with the lateral pla- centas ; the latter being the ordinary relation in unilocular ovaria, where the placentas and lobes, or rather lips, of stigma, correspond in number. This difference, however, even were it fully established, would hardly be available here as a technical distinction, several genera in each 1 'Nov. Gen- PL Bras.' iii. p. 72. PLANTS JAVANICiE RARIORES. 587 family having an undivided stigma ; unless in such cases the position of the confluent parts could be determined by that of the two vascular cords generally observable in the style, and continued into the axes of the lobes of a regu- larly bifid stigma, when belonging to an ovarium composed of two carpels. But even if this distinguishing character should be admitted to be general, it is certainly not with- out exception ; and in the only cases that I have examined in Gesneriacece, where the lateral position of the lobes of stigma may be supposed to exist, the apparent position arises from the extreme breadth and manifest division of the lips, the two vascular cords of the style being still anterior and posterior.1 The only point of difference remaining, therefore, is cios the existence of albumen in Gesneriacece and its absence in Cyrtandracece. This character, however, is not absolutely constant, there being cases in Cyrtandracece where the [109 remains of albumen are visible in the apparently ripe seed ; and in several Gesneriacece it exists so sparingly as to be- come a character of very little value,2 especially as it is not here connected with other more important differences. 1 Here follows a note " On the relative position of the Divisions of Stigma and Parietal Placentas in the Compound Ovarium of Plants," which, having been originally distributed also in a separate form, has been already given in vol. i. pp. 553— 563.— Edit. 2 The late Correa de Serra, in a very ingenious essay published in 1811, * endeavoured to establish a test for ascertaining the importance of albumen in relation to the affinities of plants, namely, that where the albumen is of a texture very different from that of the embryo, which does not absorb it in germination, its constancy may be depended on ; while in those cases where its texture is nearly similar to that of the embryo, which derives from it its earliest nourishment, its presence or absence becomes of little value. His hypothetical expression of this difference is, that in the latter case the embryo before germination converts part of a uniform substance into its own body, and in germinating derives nourishment from the remainder; in the former it selects what is suited for its nourishment, leaving a residuum which it does not afterwards act upon, and whose presence is therefore constant. Among the examples given of families in which this selection and residuum exist arc Graminete, Palmar, Nyctaginea, Caryophyllecu, and Euplwrbiacece. Soon after the publication of this essay a paper was read before the Linnean Society of London, in which I endeavoured to prove that the test attempted to be established by Correa was liable to many exceptions, and that his liypo- 1 'Annates du Museum,' xviii. p. -206. 588 PLANTS JAVANICiE RARIORES. no] In describing the genus Aikinia (Epit/iema of Dr. Blume) I regarded Cyrtandracea, or Cyrta?idre<$, for the reasons now assigned, as a tribe merely of Gesneriacece, mi distinguishable from that portion of the order with hypogenous corolla, or Besleriea, by characters either of little importance or which required confirmation. For although, in addition to the characters referred to, Cyr- tandrece differ very remarkably in geographical distribution from the rest of the family, yet this difference is not entirely without exception, as I have already noticed in my account of Loxotis. But whether these groups be considered as distinct families, or as tribes only, it will probably be admitted that in a natural classification Cyrtandrete must stand next to Besleriece ; while on the other hand they appear to be very nearly related to Bignoniacece, with which they are connected through Incarvillea, particularly with that sec- tion of it which in Dr. Royle's Illustrations I have de- scribed as a sub-genus, and named Amphicome. This sub- thetical expression of the facts was not applicable even to all the families he lias cited in support of it. And I concluded that as a general rule the point most to be depended on in proving the importance of albumen in systematic botany was its relative quantity, especially when accompanied with a low degree of development of embryo ; for where the albumen forms the great mass of the seed in any known portion of a natural family, it may in most cases, though not always, be safely inferred, not only to be present, but to exist in like proportion in the whole of that family. This rule, however, I regarded as merely empirical, founded on extensive experience, but not necessarily con- nected either with uniformity or even apparent importance of function ; for while in some families in which its proportion to the whole body of the seed is the greatest, it constitutes the early nourishment of the embryo, in others, where it exists in equal quantity, it is either not at all or but slightly acted upon in germination. I stated also that there were cases in which this character was of reduced importance, existing only in certain tribes of one and the same great natural family, as in Rubiacece ; nor are there wanting instances in which it is only of generic value.1 And, lastly, I noticed that in several families, in which the constancy of the character was very general, exceptions occurred, dependent on the apparent necessity for an unusual development and increased energy in the embryo, connected either with the unfavorable circum- stances in which it was destined to vegetate, as in plants growing in or exposed to the action of salt-water; or where great resistance, arising from the structure of the pericarpium, or even from the texture of the proper integu- ments of the seed itself, was to be overcome in germination. 1 'Linn.

PLANTS JAVANICiE RARIORES. 589 genus Professor Lindley has lately considered generically distinct from Incarvillea. But except those differences in the seeds and calyx, which I have regarded, and still con- sider, as only of sectional value, I find no other characters whatever in the flower or fruit to justify the separation; for in both species of Amphicome, as in the original Incar- villea, the ovarium as well as the capsule is certainly bilo- cular, and not unilocular, as it is described in the species figured in the ' Botanical Register' (for 1838, t. 19), and the two subgenera entirely agree in the peculiar structure of the anthera, the spur of each of whose loculi originates not on the back, but front of the cell, in the line of de- hiscence, which it limits. The following characters of Gesneriacece, and of the [ns three tribes of which, according to my view, it consists, may serve to distinguish the family from the nearly related orders, and the tribes readily from each other.

The following remarks relate to the modifications of the different parts of fructification in Cyrtandrece and their relative importance in characterising genera. The Calyx admits of every degree of depth of division. Its segments are generally acute, always so when divided to the base ; and wherever acute the aestivation appears to be valvular. In several cases where the calyx is tubular, particularly in the greater part of true Didymocarpw, and in one of the sections of Mschynanthus, the segments are rounded, and the aestivation necessarily overlapping. The tubular calyx, when accompanying an elongated capsule, is generally thrown off or separates tranversely at the base, except in the few cases in which the capsule is pedicellated. The deeply divided calyx of the genera with elongated capsules is persistent ; as it also is, whether deeply divided or tubular, in all those with short capsules and in the n3] baccate genera. None of these modifications appear to be of generic value, though some of them form the principal characters of very natural sections of genera. The tube of the Corolla varies greatly in length, but its various proportions, either with respect to the limb or calyx, are seldom of generic importance; a difference of this kind, however, forms the only distinguishing character between Bcea and Streptocarjms. The limb varies con- siderably in form, direction, and proportion of lips ; but the most important modification occurs in Glossanthm and Lozotis, in both of which the lateral lobes of the lower lip are obsolete ; or, in the former genus, perhaps, altogether PLANTS JAVANICLE RARIORES. 591 wanting. This modification is necessarily accompanied by a different aestivation, which in all the other genera is quincuncial, the lateral lobes of the lower lip overlapping the upper, which covers the middle lobe of the lower. The spur of the tube is found only in one of the two species of Staur anther a. The number of antheriferous Stamina, or the difference between the diandrous and didynamons plants of the tribe, is not always of much value ; for in Bidymocarpus there are several didynamous species which certainly do not form a natural section. Stamina inclma and exserta generally mark distinct genera, but yet not in all cases. The differ- ence between parallelism and divarication of the lobes of antherae is always, I believe, of generic importance. The various degrees of confluence of the divaricate lobes, and the apparently peculiar dehiscence in some of its modifica- tions, seem not to be of equal value. The Stigma exhibits various remarkable differences, some of which are considerable, though not alwavs of equal, value in the definition of genera. The most im- portant of these, and which hitherto has been overlooked, is the abortion, or great reduction in size, of the upper lip, while the lower is proportionally dilated, and, in some cases, deeply divided. Thus in Chirita, in which the stigma is described as bilamellar, both lamellae belong to the lower lip, And in many species of Didymocarpus the apparent obliquity of stigma arises from the abortion of the upper lip, and the lamellar expansion of the lower, which, however, is never divided as in Chirita. In several genera the lips are equal, and either lamellar or so short as to be hardly distinguishable ; in other cases there is no trace of division. These different modifications, in most cases, mark the limits of genera. As some of the most important characters of the tribe reside in the structure of Ovarium and Pericarfium, so the principal natural divisions are founded on modifications of the same organ. The ovarium may be in all cases de- scribed as properly unilocular : though, from the approxi- mation and slight cohesion of the parallel portions of the 592 PLANTS JAVANICiE RARIORES. inflected parts, or, as they are commonly called, placentae, it not unfrequently appears to be bilocular. But this cohesion only occurs when the production of ovula is con- fined to the upper or inner surface of the carpel, which is the case in the greater part of the genera with elongated capsules ; for Avhere both surfaces are ovuliferous, as in the baccate and most of the genera with included capsules, no such cohesion can take place. The general direction of the margins of the placenta of each component part of ovarium and pericarpium may at first appear a deviation from the ordinary structure, the general rule being that the margins only unite to form a complete cell, wdiereas the completion of the cell in that manner is incompatible with the direction of these margins, which in each carpel are turned from, not towards each other. This difference, however, is more apparent than real, and the structure in Cyrtandrece may be justly compared with that of such genera of other families as have the placenta of a multi- locular, or that of the single distinct, carpel projecting considerably into the cavity. The great elongation of pericarpium in many of the genera having capsular fruit, is the more remarkable in Cyrtandrece, as there is no instance of similar elongation, or any approach to it, in either of the two other tribes of Gesneriacece. In this elongation of capsule, however, they approach to Bignoniacece, where it is both more general and exists in a still greater degree. In most of the Cyrtandrece with elongated capsules, the valves, though membranaceous, are perfectly straight, but in a few others they are spirally twisted, though nearly of the same texture. The spiral torsion of the valves certainly does not depend on the length of the capsule merely, the greatest length being found conjoined with straight valves, as in JEschynantliiis ; nor is it the consequence of drying, for the twisting in all cases commences long before the ripening of the fruit. The mechanism explaining these ni] differences is, however, in general obvious. In the twisted valve the endocarp consists of a stratum of vertically elongated fibres, with an extremely thin or hardly manifest PLANTS JAVANICiE RARI0RES. 593 inner membrane, while in the valve of the straight capsule the vertically elongated stratum has a manifest inner cover- ing, consisting of transversely elongated cells, which no doubt counteract the tendency to torsion of the longitudinal fibres. But the transversely elongated cells are found in the inflected or placentiferous portion of the elongated capsule, both in the twisted and straight-fruited genera; and their function here seems to be to determine the invo- lution or revolution of the ovuliferous margin, which in these fruits is probably necessary for the protection of the seeds even after dehiscence. The more remarkable differences in placentation are almost always important : thus, in many genera the ovula are produced on the inner surface of the margin only; in others both surfaces are equally productive : and in some, the production, instead of being confined to the marginal region, extends over the whole of the inflected and included portion of the carpel. The seeds are generally pendulous, but in a few genera, as Epitfiema and Loxocarjous, erect ; and in some others they vary in pericarpial direction, according to their dif- ferent heights in the same placenta. They are always minute, generally oval, oblong, or nearly cylindrical, and inserted at or very near one extremity; in most cases sessile, or nearly so, but in a few furnished with a very long and extremely slender funiculus. Although the ovulum is anatropous, there is no apparent raphe in the ripe seed. The capillary appendages existing in some cases at both extremities of the seed vary consider- ably in number and form in that genus where they are most remarkable, namely JEschynanthus, in which, as well as in Agalmyla, and probably in Tromsdorffia, they are mere appendages, performing no other function; but in Lysionotus the upper hair in the pendulous seed is in reality its funiculus or attenuated base. The integument of the ripe seed is, in most cases, appa- rently simple ; but in a few, especially JKsc7iynantfiics, the inner membrane is easily separable from the testa. Before the complete ripening of the seed, the semifluid 38 594 PLANTS JAVANICJE RARI0RES. remains of Albumen are generally obvious j and even in the ripe- seed, in several cases, slight traces of it are visible : in Hhabdothamnas it is more abundant, and of firmer con- sistence.

It is not my intention, however, to propose any change in this respect, for in both cases the names must be considered as established. 251] The affinity between Euphorbiacece and Antidesmem is rendered more obvions by the addition to the latter of Bennettia. But the structure of ovarium and the mono- spermous drupaceous pericarpium readily distinguish them. lodes and Sarcostigma also agree with Bennettia in several important points, particularly in their unisexual minute flowers, ovarium with two pendulous ovula, mono- spermous drupa, and in most respects in the structure of seed. They differ in habit, being twining or scandent shrubs without stipules, in their monopetalous persistent inner perianthium or corolla, in aestivation and reduced number of stamina, in structure of antherae, and in the embryo being inverted, not transverse. Obs. II. Several species of Bennettia have been dis- covered in India. One of these, first observed by the late Dr. Jack, at Singapore, was referred by him, though doubt- fully, to Limonia. Dr. Blume, who had observed a plant of the same genus in Java, for which he adopted the generic name here proposed, having liberally communicated specimens and drawings of this plant, it proves to be iden- tical with Bennettia javanica ; and lastly, Dr. Wallich has, in the concluding distribution of his great Indian Herba- rium, noticed several plants of the same genus, to which he has also given the name Bennettia. These plants so closely resemble Bennettia javanica and each other, that they are chiefly distinguishable by minute, but, as I believe, con- stant differences in their male flowers, and in the form of their fruits. Of these supposed species the differential characters are here subjoined.

Our friend Mr. Brown, to whom we are indebted for the above generic and specific characters, places this genus in the Natural system in his order of Buttneriacea, which he has defined in the appendix to 'FlindeiVs Voyage,' vol. ii, p. 540. * It is nearly related to Commersonia, from which it differs in the number of sterile filaments, or divisions of the necta- rium, in the cells of the ovarium being two-seeded, and in the capsule.

Jacaranda ovalifolia is very nearly related both to J. acut folia and /. obtusifolia of Humboldt and Bonpland (Plant. JEquinoet. tabs. 17 and 1 8), between which it may be placed. /. acutifolia differs from it chiefly in all the leaf- lets being lanceolate, and in having a smaller number of pinnae. /. obtusifolia is still more distinct in its leaflets entirely wanting the mucro, which is both obvious and constant in our plant, and in having a smooth corolla. /. BaJiamensis, Nob. [J. caroliniana, Persoon ; Bignonia caru- lea, Linn.), of which there is in the Banksian Herbarium a single imperfect specimen that may be supposed to be authentic, and /. rhombifolia, of Meyer (Flor. Essequeb., 213), which is probably not different from the plant found by the late Dr. Anderson, of St. Vincent, on the banks of the Essequebo, and cultivated in some of the gardens, under his name of Bignonia filicifolia, are easily distin- guished from the three species already mentioned, by their rhomboidal leaflets, and from each other by differences in the surface of corolla, which is silky in /. Bahamensis and smooth in /. rhombifolia. J. procera, Nob. {Bignonia Copaia, Aublet, B. procera, Willd.), is sufficiently different from all the others in the much greater size of its leaflets, which are frequently up- wards of an inch in length ; in the rachis of the pinnae not being winged ; and in the cylindrical calyx, of which the teeth are extremely minute. In five of the above-mentioned species, I have ascer- tained that the antherae are dimidiate, with a hardly visible rudiment of a second lobe ; a structure which M. Meyer (1. c.) has expressed by " Antherae simplices/' and intro- CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE BOTANICAL MAGAZINE. 675 dnced into his character of the genus. But in an unde- scribed species lately found in Brazil (/. tomentosa, Nob.) they are perfect, consisting of two equal divaricate lobes, as in the greater part of the natural order. This species differs, indeed, from the rest of the genus in its leaves, having constantly a terminal pinna. It agrees with them, however, in all the other characters of the flower, and entirely in the structure of its fruit ; it can therefore be regarded as forming only a section of a strictly natural and well defined genus, still depending on characters not materially different from those proposed for it by M. de Jnssieu ; the only doubtful species being the Jacaranda 2, of Piso, from which the generic name was adopted.

" It is possible that the plant here figured/' Mr. Brown observes, " may belong to a species different from 8. adna- tum, whose spike is generally sessile, and more subdi- vided ; I am inclined, however, to unite them, and to add, as a third variety, 8. propinquum, which was taken up from imperfect materials. In the section of the genus to which 8. adnatum belongs, the best specific differences are found in modifications of the structure of the capsule, and by these alone the species at present known may be readily determined. Thus, in 8. breviscapum the cells and valves of the capsule are in form and contents perfectly equal, as in the other sections of the genus. In fasciculatum the cells are dissimilar in form, but of nearly equal size, and both fertile. In falcatum the posterior cell, still more different in form, is also considerably reduced in width and entirely without ovula ; nor is it, as I have stated in the specific character, fertile. Lastly, in adnatum, of wdiich I am now disposed to consider propinquum a variety, the posterior cell is not only entirely destitute of ovula, but is reduced to a capillary tube, which continues to adhere to the fertile cell. From this series of species, in which the upper or posterior cell is gradually obliterated, we are led CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE BOTANICAL MAGAZINE. 679 to the true explanation of the structure of Lysipoma. This genus, belonging to Lobeliacece, is described by M. Kunth as having a single parietal placenta ; it may, however, be regarded as having a septum so closely pressed to the upper side of the capsule as to have no manifest cavity, and con- sequently produces ovnla on the one side only."

The generic character now offered is from the pen of Mr. Brown, and has been framed with the accustomed skill and foresight of that learned naturalist with a view to the cluster of confining genera from the same regions, which will be found near it in the concluding volume of his ' Pro- dromusof the Flora of New Holland/ Achenium implying an indehiscent originally one-seeded seed-vessel, while that of the present genus, though eventually one-seeded, having been found by Mr. Brown to originate in a germen with two ovula, one of which proves constantly abortive, he has thought it advisable to suggest Achenopsis as a more precise denomination for this sort of seed-vessel. Glabra is the first of the genus that has presented itself in our European gardens, and is native within the colony of Port Jackson, where it was found by Mr. Brown, whose herbarium contains likewise four more of its congeners, of which that gentleman has favoured us with the following account •. — Three, our plant being one, were observed by him in the colony above mentioned, as well as in Van Diemen's Island, and agree in having a petioled stipuled foliage and icosandrous flowers ; a fourth he discovered on the south-west coast of New Holland, this had likewise a petioled stipuled foliage, but the flowers were decandrous ; the fifth he observed on the north coast of the same conti- nent (in the Bay of Carpentaria), in that the flowers were icosandrous as in the three first-mentioned species, but it differed from all the others in having a foliage without cither petioles or stipules. Through these modifications the* genus will be found to unite with its confining co-ordi- nates at different points. Bot. Reg. 393 (1819).

The present plant, after various shiftings from one inap- propriate group to another, according to the wavering views of different botanists, is now placed in a new genus constituted for its reception by Mr. Brown, to whom the generic name has been suggested by the curious grapple or tendril belonging to the peduncle, by which the growing fruit is conveniently suspended on the nearest support, during its advance to maturity, and the slender flexile branch relieved from the disproportionate burden, which would be otherwise laid on the ground. The synonymy is also a valuable contribution from 686 CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE BOTANICAL REGISTER. Mr. Brown, and presents a critical view of the scientific history of the species. We understand that three species of Artabotrys, besides the present, are already known, one of which with curiously small flowers has been recently discovered by Dr. Horsfleld during his residence in Java, and is in the rich Her- barium that gentleman has brought to this country.

Cryptostegia is, however, conceived by Mr. Brown to be the link by which the two orders connect through his genus Cryptolepis, also a native of India and a climber. The name was suggested to Mr. Brown by the circum- stance of the enclosure of the five-scaled crown within the tube of the corolla, and its not being exposed to view, as in other bordering genera.

The generic character now given has been formed by Mr. Brown so as to include Aerides paniculatum^ pub- lished provisionally by that generic name in our third volume (fol. 220) ; but now it will be seen that the species is not a very close congener of the one before us. The Cymbideum tessellatum of Roxburgh is not included in the present genus. Mr. Brown had some scruple in not ranging the group under Angr^ecum of M. Du Petit-Thouars (of which a spe- cies is given in ' Voy. de Bory de St. Vincent/ 1359, tab. 19), not being able, from want of sufficient detail in the description of the structure of the parts of that genus, to decide satisfactorily whether he ought to do so or not ; and has at last been determined principally by the label in Angr^ecum being undivided, and probably membranous, while in Van da it is three-lobed and fleshy. He expects that several species of Swartz's genus Limodorum will be found to rank under the present. Bot. Beg. 506 (1820). Griffinia parviflora. Semina secundum observationes Bom.

The samples formed part of the collection of Nepaulese plants transmitted by Dr. W allien, the able superintendent of the Calcutta Botanic Garden, by whom, as was plain from the inscribed notice, they had been taken for speciosum, accurately described by himself in the ' Flora Indica' of Roxburgh ; but on examination by Mr. Brown, proved to be essentially distinct from that species.

With our present imperfect knowledge of this plant, it is perhaps necessary to refer it to Anthemis, though in real affinity it will probably be found to approach more nearly to Chrysanthemum Indicum, of which the supposed double-flowered varieties are in like manner generally fur- nished with palece. As that plant, however, in its single state has always a naked receptacle, and some of its double-flowered varieties are constantly, while others are occasionally without palece, in the second edition of the 'Hortus Kewensis,' it was continued in Chrysanthemum ; an arrangement which it would not perhaps be necessary to alter, were it even proved that two species have been con- founded under the name of Chrysanthemum Indicum, both of them belonging decidedly to the same natural genus, and to this genus I am inclined to think Anthemis apii- folia, when completely known, may be referred. As to the narrow margo crowning the seed, on account of which our plant has been considered a Pyrethrum, it does not appear to me to constitute a sufficient generic character, and it equally exists in Chrysanthemum Indicum, particularly in the single-flowered specimen of the Linnean Herbarium. Brown MSS. For the above account we are indebted to the unwearied liberality of Mr. Brown, who has taken this opportunity to account for his retaining Chrysanthemum Indicum in that genus in the second edition of the ' Hortus Kewensis/ and for not following some of his predecessors in referring the species to Anthemis.

Astelma is now first detached from Gnaphalium by the above able band ; and founded upon the present species characterised as a genus by a naked receptacle of t/ie flower. (neither chaffy nor honeycombed) ; a sessile feathered seed- crown, the radii of which are connected at the base; an imbricated calyx composed of scariose leaflets, the inner- most of which are convergent, and whose florets are all both stamen-bearing and pistil-bearing. It is the nearest genus to Elichrysum, from the genuine species of which, according to Mr. Brown, it only differs by the rayless calyx. Bot Beg. 532 (1821). Dendrobium cucullatum, caulibus pendulis, foliis bifariis lanceolatis acuminatis, pedunculis oppositifoliis subbifloris, labello indiviso circumscriptione ovato basi cucullato. Brown MSS. It is said to be in several collections, and to have been generally conceived to be Dendrobium Pierardi of the unedited part of Roxburgh's ' Flora Indica' ; and which, according to Mr. Brown, to whom, as in so many instances, we are indebted for all we have to say on the subject, it is possible it may really be ; but finding by both figure and description the flowering stems of that species represented as leafless, the lamina of the labellum of an obovate form, and leaves as emarginate, while in the present plant the flowering stems are in full leaf, its labellum of an ovate outline, and the leaves taper-pointed, he has deemed it safer to regard the present sample as belonging to a distinct species.

Stigma anticum cavum subrotundum viride secernens. Brown MSS. The plant here described is the only certain species of Lissochilus ; Cymbidium giganteum, however, according to Thunberg's description, may also belong to the same genus. This genus, in affinity, comes nearest to those plants of South Africa at present referred to Limodorum and Cym- bidium, namely, Limodorum barbatum, triste, longicorne, and perhaps also hians of Thunberg (not, however, Satyrium Irian s, Linn, which seems to be a Disd), Cymbidium pedi- cellatum and aculeatum. These, along with several Indian species, also referred by Swartz and Willdenow to Limo- dorum, especially L. virens, wrinatum and perhaps epiden- droides, form a genus (Eulophus) related on the one hand to Lipodium (vide Prodr. Flor. Nov. HolL, p. 300), and essentially agreeing with Lissochilus in the structure of Anthera, but sufficiently different from it in its trilobed crested labellum, which is neither cordate nor connected at base with the column. In both these characters Lisso- cliilus equally differs from Angr cecum of M. Du Petit- Thouars, which has also an elongated spur, and a con- siderably different habit. Among the plants at present referred to Limodorum, another very distinct genus may be noticed, consisting of Limodorum veratrifolium, and judging from Kaempfer's figure, L. striatum also. This genus (Calanthe) agrees with Bletia in having eight pollen-masses, but differs from it in the claw of the labellum being connected with the column. It is not unlikely that this may be the Cyanorchis of M. Du Petit-Thouars, who will probably hereafter pub- lish it under a different name. Broivn MSS. Bot. Reg. 573 [578 by mistake in orig.] (1821).

The term replum, which is employed in Mr. Brown's generic character to designate the persistent circumscrip- tion of the legume, was used by Vitruvius for the frame of a door, and we believe has been already applied to the purposes of botanical description in the sense in which it is used here, which is certainly unexceptionable.

In explanation of the name applied to this plant, we make the following extract from Mr. Brown's communica- tion upon the subject : " I have named the genus in honour of my friend, Captain Dugald Carmichael, E.L.S., a very accurate bota- nist, whose interesting account of the Island of Tristan d'Acunha is published in the 12th volume of the ' Linnean Society's Transactions/ and to whom I am indebted for ex- tensive collections, and many excellent descriptions of the plants of the Island of Mauritius and of the Cape of Good Hope."

Prof. Buckland acknowledges assistance from Mr. Brown, in determining the nature of the fossils, for which he states that, at Mr. Brown's suggestion, he had established a new family with the designation Cycadoidece. Transactions of Geological Society of London, 2nd series, vol. ii, p. 395. [Bead June Qtk, 1828.) In a note following the Preface to. Dr. Buckland's ' Bridgewater Treatise/ 2 vols., 8vo, 1836, the author says — " The scientific reader will feel that much additional value has been added to the present wTork — from the botanical part having been submitted to Mr. Robert Brown." It is probable that most of the observations on the struc- ture of Cycadece and Cycadeous fossils, both in this work and in Prof. Buckland's Paper in the ' Geological Transac- tions/ were contributed by Mr. Brown ; but the following are the only particulars for which he is specifically quoted : BOTANICAL AND GEOLOGICAL. 717 Cycadites. — M. Ad. Brongniart has referred these two fossil species to a new genus, by the name of Mantellia nidi- formis and Mantellia cylindrica. In my paper just quoted, I applied to them the provisional name of Cycadoidea megalo- phylla and Cycadoidea microvhylla ; but Mr. Brown is of opinion that until sufficient reasons are assigned for sepa- rating them from the genus Cycas or Zamia, the provisional name of Cycadites is more appropriate, as expressing the present state of our knowledge upon this subject. Buck- land's Bridgewater Treatise, vol. i, p. 496, note (1836). In the vascular bundles within the fossil petioles, Mr. Brown has recognised the presence of spiral, or scalariform vessels (Vasa scalar if or mia), such as are found in the petioles of recent Cycadece ; he has also detected similar vessels in the laminated circle within the trunk of the fossil buds next to be described. The existence of vessels with discs peculiar to recent Cycadece and Conferee, such as have been described in speaking of fossil Conferee, has not yet been ascertained. Ibid., p. 499, note. Podocarya. This fossil was found by the late Mr. Page, of Bishport, near Bristol, in the lower regions of the Inferior Oolite formation on the east of Charmouth, Dorset, and is now in the Oxford Museum. The size of this fruit is that of a large orange ; its surface is occupied by a stellated cover- ing or Epicarpium composed of hexagonal tubercles, forming the summit of cells, which occupy the entire circumference of the fruit. Within each cell is contained a single seed, resembling a small grain of rice, more or less compressed, and usually hexagonal. Where the Epicarpium is removed, the points of the seeds are seen, thickly studded over the surface of the fruit. The bases of the cells are separated from the receptacle, by a congeries of footstalks formed of a dense mass of fibres, resembling the fibres beneath the base of 718 SHORT CONTRIBUTIONS TO VARIOUS WORKS, the seeds of the modern Pandanus. As this position of the seeds upon footstalks, composed of long rigid fibres, at a distance from the receptacle, is a character that exists in no other family than the Pandanece, we are hereby enabled to connect our fossil fruit with this remarkable tribe of plants, as a new genus, Podocarya. I owe the suggestion of this name, and much of my information on this subject, to the kindness of my friend, Mr. Robert Brown. The large spherical fruit of Pandanus, hanging on its parent tree, is represented at pi. lxxxiv, fig. 1 . Fig. 11 is the summit of one of the many drupes into which this fruit is usually divided. Each cell, when not barren, contains a single, oblong, slender seed ; the cells in each drupe vary from two to fourteen in number, and many of them are abortive. The seeds within each drupe of Pandanus are enclosed in a hard nut. These nuts are wanting in Podo- carya, whose seeds are smaller than those of Pandanece, and not collected into drupes, but dispersed uniformly in single cells over the entire circumference of the fruit. The collection of the seeds into drupes, surrounded by a hard nut, in the fruit of Pandanus, forms the essential difference between this genus and our new genus Podocarya. In the fruit of Pandanus the summit of each cell is covered with a hard cup or tubercle, irregularly hexagonal ; and crowned at its apex with the remains of a withered stigma. We have a similar covering of hexagonal tuber- cles over the cells of Podocarya. The remains of a stigma appear also in the centre of those hexagons above the apex of each seed. Buckland's Bridyewater Treatise, vol. i pp. 504, 505 (1836). In the title-page to the edition of Dr. Buckland's ' Bridge- water Treatise/ published in 1858, after the death both of the author and of Mr. Brown, Mr. Brown's name is placed as having made additions to it. That Mr. Brown sui?o;ested to Dr. Buckland many of the remarks contained in the botanical portion of his Treatise, as well as of those con- tained in his previous papers on the Cycadoidece, in the BOTANICAL AND GEOLOGICAL. 719 ' Geological Society's Transactions/ there can be no doubt ; but the only "additions" indicated in the notes to this, the third edition, appear to be the following : Mr. Robert Brown has ascertained, by examination of a trunk of Cycadites microphyltus, from Portland, the ex- istence of scalariform vessels without discs, in the mature trunk ; a point in which, he informs me, these fossils agree with the American portion of the order Cycadece, though, in other respects, they bear a greater resemblance to the African and Australian species. Mr. Brown observes further, that the order Cycadea presents but one genus in America, namely, the Zamia, on which this genus was originally founded, and to which it has been recently re- stricted ; and that the coincidence in the structure of the scalariform vessels in the trunk of this Zamia of the New World, with that of the fossil Cycadites of Europe, is very remarkable. Buckland's Bridyeioater Treatise, new edition, 1858, vol. i, pp. 461, 462. Mr. Robert Brown has noticed in the cellular tissue of a silicified trunk of Cycadites, portions of chalcedony bear- ing the form of extravasated gum within the trunks of recent Cycadece. He has also recognised spiral vessels in the laminated woody circle of a mature trunk of fossil Cycadites, and also in the laminated circle within a silici- fied bud of the same, near its origin. Ibid., vol. ii, p. 102. Mr. [now Sir] R. I. Murchison, in a paper on the " Fossils found at CEningen," says — " Mr. R. Brown has discovered that among these plants, one is almost indistinguishable in the leaf from the Acer villosum, a species of maple brought from Nepaul by Dr. Wallich." Geol. Trans., 2nd ser., vol. hi, p. 287 (1835). Mr. Horner, in a note to his paper " On the Geology of the Environs of Bonn," says — " I visited the lignite deposit at Friesdorf, in September, 1835, in company with Mr. Robert Brown, when he col- lected several specimens of the vegetable remains. lie in- 720 SHORT CONTRIBUTIONS TO VARIOUS WORKS, forms me that all the wood he found is coniferous." Gcol. Trans., 2nd ser., vol. iv, p. 474 (1836). Mr. Charles Stokes in his " Notice respecting a piece of Recent Wood partly petrified by Carbonate of Lime" {Trans. Geol. Soc. of London, 2nd series, vol.v, p. 207, 1 840), acknowledges assistance obtained from Mr. Brown, and in a "Further Notice" appended to this paper (1. c, p. 213) he says — " Since I communicated to the Geological Society the preceding notice on the partly petrified wood from the ancient Roman aqueduct of Eilsen, in the principality of Lippe Buckeberg, Mr. Robert Brown has shown to me a specimen from the same piece of wood, which was presented to him at Tharand, in the month of October last, by M. Cotta of that place, who discovered the wood in the aque- duct, and remarked its peculiar condition. Mr. Brown has pointed out to me, in the longitudinal section, that the petrified portions, in his specimen, are about two inches in length, and in the middle part, nearly a quarter of an inch in diameter, and terminate in a point at each end. The petrified portions are, in these instances, completely enclosed within and surrounded by the unchanged wood. See pi. xvi. fig. 3." "Mr. Brown has observed another remarkable circum- stance in the condition of these petrified portions. The change of the longitudinal fibres appears to be complete, but the medullary rays, of which the ends are seen in this section are still in their ligneous state, as shown in the mag- nified engraving, pi. xvi, fig. 4." Dr. Fitton, in his paper " On the Strata below the Chalk," says — " From the evidence afforded by thin transparent slices, both of the transverse and longitudinal sections which have been examined under the microscope by Mr. Brown, the fossil trunks of Portland are found to possess the characters uniformly belonging to coniferous wood ; but it must be observed that these characters are not absolutely confined BOTANICAL AND GEOLOGICAL. 721 to Coniferse." Geol. Trans., 2nd series, vol. iv, p. 222 (1836). " A point which Mr. Brown considers as well deserving of remark is, that the only remains of vegetables hitherto found in these strata, under the circumstances above de- scribed, belong to two nearly related families, Coniferse and Cycadese, which have lately been regarded as forming a distinct class, characterised not only by greater simplicity of the parts of fructification, but also by some peculiarities of the internal structure, and thence have been considered as intermediate between Phsenogamous and Cryptogamous or Acotyledonous plants." Ibid. p. 225. " A cone has recently been found on the shore of the Isle of Portland, not improbably derived from one of the beds of clay, or 'Dirt/ subordinate to the lower part of the Portland strata, the structure of which, according to Mr. Brown, approaches in some respects to that of Araucaria. I am indebted to the kindness of the Rev. David Williams, of Cross, near Bleadon, in Somersetshire, to whom it belongs, for an opportunity of submitting this beautiful spe- cimen to the examination of Mr. Brown, who will, I hope, describe its structure in the ' Transactions of the Linnean Society.' " Ibid. p. 349. Mr. [now Prof.] Morris, in his appendix to Mr. Prest- wich's memoir "On the Geology of Coalbrook Dale," under the description of pi. xxxviii, says — " Stigmaria ficoides. In the 'Fossil Flora/ t. 31 — 36, are figures and descriptions of Stigmaria ficoides, and at t. 156 is shown the structure of the same; and although we cannot add much new information to that previously given by Prof. Lindley, it has been thought advisable to have another section represented, with a view of showing what has hitherto not been well illustrated in the published figures of its structure. The internal cylinder in the spe- cimen (fig. 3) is eccentric, and consists of wedge-like por- tions of vascular tissue, the rounded origin of which, inter- nally, is well defined ; these wedges are generally of equal or nearly equal size, but they occasionally become confluent 46 722 SHORT CONTRIBUTIONS TO VARIOUS WORKS, by the joining of two or more of them together. The form of the space necessarily left, or interstices between the sec- tions where these are distinct, varies a little ; in some cases being of nearly equal breadth throughout, and in others becoming narrower outwards, and appearing to terminate or contract about the middle of the vascular tissue, beyond which they again frequently widen outwards : these spaces often contain portions of oblique and smaller vascular cords, apparently arising at different depths in the vascular cylinder; the origin and connection of which with the cylinder is shown in the oblique section, where a single series of vessels is seen passing from it, surrounded by tissue of smaller diameter. PI. xxxviii, fig. 3 a.3' "In no specimen yet examined has the course of the oblique cords been absolutely ascertained, but there can scarcely be any doubt, as suggested by Mr. Brown (to whom we are also indebted for the above observations), that those vessels after arising from the cylinder passed to the tubercles of the surface, through the thick cellular tissue which once probably occupied the larger space in the original plant. The discovery of these smaller oblique vessels is an interesting feature in the anatomy of Stiff- maria ; and they have also been pointed out by Mr. Brown as existing in Anabathra, and one of these is actually figured by Mr. Witham, in his work, (' On the Internal Structure of Fossil Vegetables,' 2nd edit., t. 8, f. 12), but considered by him (p. 41) as a section of a medullary ray. The analogous vessels existing in Lepidodendron Harcourtii, as figured bv Mr. Witham (< Trans, of the Nat. Hist. Soc. of Newcastle, 1832'), appear to arise from the outer part of the vascular cylinder. A somewhat similar arrangement is also found in that division of Lycojiodiacece, consisting of Psilotum and Tmesipteris : in those genera the vascular cylinder, from which the oblique cords proceed, includes a central pith ( Brongniart, ' Hist, des Veget. Foss.,' torn, ii, pp. 44, 45). " Fig. 3 h. Shows that the vessels are much smaller at the internal rounded portions of the wedges. "Fig. 3 c.

" Upon showing the fossil cones to Dr. R. Brown, he very kindly pointed out to me the affinity existing between them and the genera PetrophUa and Leucadendron, and particularly with one species of the former genus — Petro- phUa diversifolia — described in his ' Prodromus Florae Novae Hollandise/ page 365." Dr. Bowerbank's ' History of the Fossil Fruits and Cones of the London Clay' page 43 (1840). Mr. [now Sir] C.

Brown refers to Ceratophyllum demersum, English Botany, 947." — London and Edin. Phil. Mag., vol. 15, p. 355 (1840). Lieut. Newbould says that Mr. R. Brown determined the specimens of fossil wood brought by him from Egypt " to be dicotyledonous, and not coniferous." — Geol. Proc. iii, p. 787. {Bead Jan. 29, 1842.) Dr. Mantell, in a paper c On Emits from the Cre- taceous Rocks/ says, under Carpolifhes Smithia — "I am indebted to Dr. Robert Brown for the careful examination of this fossil, and he informed me that he knew of no fruit to which it bore any near affinity, but 724 SHORT CONTRIBUTIONS TO VARIOUS WORKS, suggested that the original was probably a succulent com- pound berry, the seeds appearing to have been imbedded in a pulpy substance, like the fruit of a mulberry, which is a spurious compound berry, formed by a partial union of the enlarged and fleshy calyces, each enclosing a dry membranous pericarp. — Quart. Journ. Geol. Soc, vol. ii, p. 54 (1846). The President exhibited portions of trunks of Winter's- bark trees from the Straits of Magellan, cut down in 1826 by Capt. P. P. King, R.N., offering inscriptions made through the bark by a midshipman who accompanied the Spanish expedition under Captain Cordoba in 1786, and by one of the companions of Captain Bougainville in 1767 ; the annual rings in the former case distinctly corresponding with the interval between 1786 and 1826. He also made some observations on the structure of the woody vessels of the genus. — Proc. Linn. Soc, ii, p. 95 (June 18, 1850). The President exhibited specimens of stems of Kingia australis, R. Br., and Xanthorrhosa arborca, R.

Cum- ingii, particularly with the view of showing that they are all three dioecious. — Proc. Linn. Soc, ii, p. 128 (April 15, 1851). The President exhibited numerous specimens of recent and fossil Cycadece. Among these was a fine specimen of a new species (Cycadites Saxbyanus, R.Br.) found in the Isle of Wight by Mr. Saxby, of Bonchurch. The President remarked, that all the specimens of Cycadites hitherto found BOTANICAL AND GEOLOGICAL. 725 in the Isle of Wight agreed in having an elliptical outline, unaccompanied with any inequality in the woody ellipsis, and also in having a bud in the axilla of each leaf; in these respects differing from the Cycddites of the Isle of Portland, and from all the recent species of Cycadece with which we are acquainted, which have a circular outline and only scattered buds. — Proc. Linn. Soc, ii, p. 130 (May 6,1851). Incarvillea. Having, in examining the Himalayan species of Incar- villea, observed some appearances not mentioned in, or at variance with, the descriptions of that genus by Jussieu and Lamarck, I was induced to ask the opinion of the highest authority on the subject, and Mr. Brown has been good enough to favour me with his opinion that the Hima- layan species are too closely allied to be separated into a genus distinct from the Chinese Incarvillea, but are yet sufficiently distinguished to constitute a sub-genns. He has been good enough to enrich my work with the cha- racter of this, and an amendment of the genus Incarvillea. Incarvillea. Juss. Gen. 138.
