ON THE IDENTITY OF POLYPODIUM SPINULOSUM.
PROTEACEÆ.
Synaphea R. Brown.
Synaphea spinulosa(Burm.f.).
Polypodium spinulosum, Burm. f., Fl. Ind., 1768, p. 233, t. 67, f. 1. Synaphea polymorpha, R.Br., in Trans. Linn. Soc., 10, 1810, 156; Prodr., 1810, p. 370; Benth. Fl. Austral., 5, 1870, p. 360. Synaphea brachystachya, Lindl., in Swan Riv., App., 1840, p. 32; Meissn. in DC. Prodr., 14, 1857, p. 316.
The species is apparently one of wide distribution in West Australia, my specimens from Swan River and from Perth, collected by Maiden and by Morrison, agreeing in all respects with Burman's short description, and with his excellent figure.
