 fr. large, slightly angular-streaked; valves thick, con- 

 vergent, emersed; border broad, depressed. F.v. M.

 base with several thin stems: bark deciduous, smooth 

 and grayish or reddish: Ivs. firm, very light green, nar- 

 row: fls. small; stamens remaining bent inward in an-

 binate, tapering at the base, prominently angled: lid 

 short, broad, flat or depressed, rugose: anthers kidney-

 tion. B.M. 4G37. G.C. II. 12:113 ; 13:395; 111.2:787, 

 789; 3:799,801; 9: 109. -Perhaps only a sub-alpine form 

 of M. amyydalinu. 



43. Gunnii, Hook. Cider Guji. Small, often scrubby 

 tree: Ivs. thick, shining, less than 3 in. long: calyx-lid 

 shining, hemispherical, short-pointed: anthers almost 

 oval, opening by parallel longitudinal slits : capsule 

 somewhat sunk below the narrow rim of the calyx-tube. 

 A very hardy species. Cattle and sheep readily browse 

 on the foliage, as it lacks the peculiarly pungent Euca- 

 lyptus odor. May, June. G.C. II. 19:437; III. 2:781 ; 

 11:787. 



Var. unduiata, (E. Gunnii, F.v.M. Eucal. 4:5., not of 

 Hook. H. unduldta, Luehm., not of F.v.M.). Swamp 

 Gdm. Tall tree: Ivs. longer (over 3 in.), broad and 

 somewhat undulate : fr. top-shaped.— Yields a great deal 

 of nectar, and flowers earlier than M. viminalis. Tim- 

 ber strong and useful.

 soil with a clayey subsoil ; thrives in ground periodi-

 rim. Apr., May. P. v. M. Eucal. 9:8. -Closely related to
