There is probably more than one variety of this species of PROTEA, for it is described by THUNBERG as having purplish corollas; in our plant the ftyle only is purple.

The corolla, which confifts of two unequal petals connected toge- ther at the base, but easily separated, is a greenish yellow: one of the petals bears three anthers a little below the tip; the other, which is filiform, only one.

There is, however, some little variety in this, some of the flowers feparating fpon- taneoufly taneoufly into three and even four petals.

The germen is enveloped in a brown pappus arifing from the base of the seed, the ftyle is declined; stigma acute, though, when it first efcapes from the corolla, it appears club-shaped, from the quantity of pollen that adheres to it.

The receptacle is hairy.

The reft of the plant will be easily understood from the figure.

As sCHRADER'S figure is not quoted as a synonym of PROTEA fcolymus by WILLDENOW or MARTYN, it is probable that these authors had some doubts about it.

Our plant is undoubtedly the same as his, and whoever will compare BOERHAAVE'S figure with both will, we appre- hend, be convinced that they must all belong to the same species.

Our drawing was taken at Mr.

WOODFORD's in July last.

Introduced according to Hortus Kewenfis in 1780, by the Countefs of sTRATHMORE.

Requires the shelter of a good greenhouse to protect it from frost.

May be propagated by seeds or cuttings.

Requires a light fandy loam and a free circulation of air. -191 supolmiqes as atslost isolds AITORT dude?
