ESSENTIAL GENERIC CHARACTER.

COROLLA 4-fida seu 4-petala. Antheræ lineares, insertæ petalis infra apicem. Calyx proprius nullus. Semina solitaria.

BLOSSOM 4-cleft or 4 petals. Tips linear, inserted into the petals below the point. Cup proper none. Seeds solitary.

See PROTEA FORMOSA, Pl. XVII. Vol. I.

SPECIFIC CHARACTER.

Protea foliis sublinearibus, angustis, obliquis, rigidis, longissimis; squamis interioribus calycis lanceolatis, erectis; florum plumis atro-purpureis; conus turbinatus.

Protea with nearly linear leaves, narrow, oblique, harsh and very long; the inner scales of the cup are lance-shaped and upright; the plume of flowers are of a dark purple; the cone top-shaped.

REFERENCE TO THE PLATE.

1. A Blossom complete, with the seed-bud attached. 2. The Petals of the flower spread open, to shew the situation of the Tips. 3. The Seed-bud, Shaft and Summit.

This is the third variety of Long-leaved Protea, as mentioned p. 132, and equally scarce with the preceding ones. It was raised from seed at the same time with the other two, which were received by Messrs. Lee and Kennedy, Hammersmith, from the superintendant of the Imperial Gardens at Schonbrun. This variety, at present, is in no collection, that we know of, in England, but that of G. Hibbert, Esq. where our drawing was made, in the month of January 1801. The same unfortunate character attaches to this, as to the other varieties, from the great difficulty of increasing it; although, it flourishes in growth, if planted in a light, loamy soil.
