This very distinct plant was placed by Cunningham as a spe- 

 cies of Myoporum, and found in a bundle of specimens collected 

 by him chiefly in the Botanic Garden at Sydney ; from its 

 resemblance to the following species, it has probably been intro- 

 duced from Van Diemen's Land, or perhaps collected there by 

 that botanist. The leaves are numerous, thick^ coriaceous, of 

 dull aspect, 1^ inch long^ including the petiole, upon the mar- 

 gins of which they are decurrent to the base, and 3 or 4 lines in 

 breadth. The inflorescence is pseudo-paniculate, out of the ap- 

 proximated axils of the more recent branches, from the young 

 crowded leaves of which proceed a number of aggregated short 

 racemes of little more than half an inch long, all covered slightly
