2. M. viridijlora., foliis alternis elliptico-lanceolatis coriaceis 



quinquetierviis, ramulis petiolifque pubcfcentibus. 

 M. viridiflora. Garttu Sent. v. i. 173. /. ^^. 

 M. Leucadendron /3. Litm.Suppl. 342. 



Unqueflionably a very diftiiidl fpecies from the preceding, with 

 which the younger Linnaeus confounded it. The leaves are much 

 more thick and ?igid, flraight, not falcated, nor fo much pointed, 

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

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

 cafe in M. Leucadendron. 



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

 lowifli green. 



3. M. laurina, foliis alternis obovato-lanceolatis unlnerviis, 



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 

 fuaveolens of Gasrtner, tab. 2,Si with which its inflorefcence and fruiSli- 

 fication alnrio(ft.entiiely agree, but the leaves of that are much bfoader 

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

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

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

 hotter parts of New Holland, near Endeavour river.
