(N. 719.) — This alone, of all the Chilian Myrtacee we 
possess, has the middle nerve of the leaf so sunk in 
the substance, as to be imperceptible. It ranks next 
to E. leptospermoides, DC., and is only to be separ- 
ated from it by the rusty colour of the underside of the 
leaves, which it isscarcely possible that author could have 
passed over in silence. It is extremely probable that 
Feuillée's « Myrtus, vulgo Hitigu,” v. 3. f. 31, belongs to 
this species.

species are about the size of those of Myrtus tomentosa. 
Tn the leaves it resembles Correa alba.
