Elæocarpus cyaneus. Aiton’s Epitome. 366; in add. Curtis's magaz. 1737. 
“ Gathered near Port Jackson, New South Wales, by 
Dr. White. Leaves about three (or four) inches long, on 
smooth somewhat glandular footstalks, (oblong) lanceolate, 
pointed, strongly serrated throughout, smooth, shining 
above, reticulated on both sides with innumerable veins, 
which have usually a small gland, or pore, at their origin 
on the back of the leaf. Clusters axillary, shorter than the 
leaves, of eight or ten white flowers, not half so large as 
those of ELæocarpus grandiflora (Smith in loc. cit.), with 
smooth stalks. Calyx in five or six smooth (externally vil- 
lous), linear lanceolate segments. Petals smooth (exter- 
nally villous), 3-cleft, scarcely half-way down, finely jag- 
ged. One valve of each anther terminates in a slender 
point, at length recurved, but much shorter than in E. 
grandiflora. Germen ovate, short, quite smooth, as well 
as the furrowed annular nectary beneath it, and_the whole 
style. Fruit globose, larger than a pea, blue. | Nut (stone) 
curiously tuberculated and wrinkled.” Smith in Reess 
cyclop. in loc. :
