at the extremity of a common peduncle* about 

 three centimeters long, prtfent all the characters 

 Of the eucalyptus genus. Their numerous (lamina 

 have long filaments of a fawn colour; the ilyle 

 fhoots Out a little beyond the flamina. 



The calyx, which is much elongated, is puftied 

 out by the flamina, in proportion as they expand, 

 and it falls when they have attained their full 

 growth. 



The capflile, which is open at the top, is tri- 

 loculare and fometimes quadrilocular ; it is 

 crowned by a fmall portion of the bafe of the 

 flyle, which is divided into as many parts as 

 there are cells. 



Each cell contains a great many angulated 

 feeds. 



The form of the calyx has induced me to give 

 to this flirub the name of eucalyptus cornuta.
