The number and arrangement of the stamens is so important a featuri^ 

 among the myrtaceous genera pt^culiar to A^ustralia, or almost so, that no 

 apology is needed for adoj)ting tlie step here taken of describing this as tlic 

 type of a new genus, although it differs from Leptospermum, tlie species of 

 whiidi in general appearance it closely resembles, only in the androecium. 



The (diaracters of the genera of alternate-leaved Leptospermese may be 

 shown as ibllows : —
