2. M. 'viridtflora^ foliis alternis elliptico-1 anccolatis coriaceis 



quinquenerviis, ramulis petiolifque pubefcentibus. 

 M. viridiflora. Gterin. Sew. v. 1. 173. /. $$. 

 M. Leucadendron ; ?. Linn. Suppl. 342. 



Unquestionably a very diltinct fpecies from the preceding, with 

 which the younger Linnreus confounded it. The leaves are much 

 more thick and rigid, flraight, not falcated, nor fo much pointed, 

 of a lighter colour, with generally five, but fometimes feven nerves. 

 The footiralks and younger branches are downy, which is not the 

 cafe in M. Leucadendron. 



This grows in New South Wales. The flowers are pale yel- 

 lowiih green* 



3. M. laurlna, foliis alternis obovato-lanceolatis uninerviis, 



pedunculis axillaribus dichotomis pubefcentibus. 



Specimens of this were brought to Sir Jofeph Banks from New 

 South Wales by Governor Philip. It is nearly allied to Melaleuca 

 fuaveole?is of Gxrtner, tab. $$<, with which its inflorefcence and fructi- 

 fication almoft entirely agree, but the leaves of that are much broader 

 and elliptical. Thofe of M« laurina have a great refemblance«to the 

 Daphne laureola. Neither is this fpecies at ail aromatic, which the 

 other fhould feem by its name to be. M. fuaveolens comes from the 

 hotter parts of New Holland, near Endeavour river.

multinerviis, floribus lateralibus, dentibus calycinis ftriatis 

 mucronatis.
