Obs. Dryandra of Thunberg, first published in Flora Japonica, being not generically different from Aleurites, which was previously established by Forster, I have peculiar 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 Inflorescence, but in that respect so widely as to be at once distinguishable: there is also something in the habit, especially in the leaves of the great 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 Lewins Land, where, however, its species are nearly as numerous and abundant as those of Banksia itself.

Hab. In Novæ Hollandiæ orâ australi; Lewins Land: in collibus saxosis. (v. v.)
Variat receptaculo epalcato.
*2. D. cuneata, foliis cuneiformibus sinuato-dentatis spinosis petiolatis, involucri bracteis omnibus sericeis, calycis laminis barbatis, stigmate subulato-filiformi acuto.
α. Folia vix sesquiunciam longa, dentibus terminalibus subæqualibus.
β. Folia biuncialia, apicis dilatati denticulo medio breviore sinubus latioribus. Forsan species distincta.
