or subsessile, ovato-elliptical and mucronate; glaucous, — 
especially when young; distantly sprinkled with minute, — 
transparent dots: middle rib strong, veins and marginal — 
callosity scarcely visible till dry. FYowers in axillary five- 
to eight- (or more) flowered corymbs ; peduncles scarcely 
longer than the petiole, stouter than it, nearly round, 
or obscurely furrowed ; pedicels resembling the peduncle, 
and not much more slender. Calyx, incldding the coher- 
ing segments of its limb (operculum), scarcely so long as 
the pedicel ; operculum hemispherical, minutely pointed, 
shorter than the tube (cupula). Stamens numerous, white, 
longer than the cupula. Style longer than the cupula, but 
shorter than the stamens. ’ 
This species, a native of Van Dieman’s Land, flowered at 
the Botanic Garden in the beginning of this month, when 
trained against the wall. We have not yet ascertained 
whether, like the Eucatyprus pulverulenta, it will thrive 
without this protection. Graham. |
