APPENDIX. XI 



deep purple flowers, with long stamens, and must be a most 

 striking object; it is probably rare, as 1 have only seen two or 

 three small fragments ; it is characterized by having, at the 

 bottom of its superior hemispherical calyx, six elevated clefts, 

 which appear as if they w^ere the united sides of so many in- 

 flexed valves, between which there is a passage directly into 

 the cavities where the ovules lie ; I am not however sure that 

 this is the real nature of the structure. The other has the 

 structure of a Melaleuca, in a slight degree, but the stamens 

 are irregularly polyadelphous, or altogether distinct, the an- 

 thers are fixed by their base and not their back, and the 

 flowers grow singly at the ends of the branches, where they 

 are covered with imbricated bracts. Of this genus, which 

 may be called Ei^emcea'^^ (epefxaio^, lonely), there are three 

 species, of which the only pretty kind is £. frnbriata ; 

 E. pilosa is probably the ^\?int ndiVCiQ^ Metrosideros paucijiora 

 by Endlicher. 



Of Eucalypti there must be many species, but 1 have no 

 materials sufficient to ascertain what they are ; the barren 

 hills on the bank of the river at Point Frazer are said to 

 produce the magnificent Eucalyptus calophylla, but as that 

 plant is not defined I am not sure whether I possess it or 

 not.
