 lar crenated, entatc rugose. Penduncles axillary, solitarj'' 

 length of leaves, one flowered. Bastard gum tree is the ver- 

 nacular name on St. Helena, where it grows to be a tree very 

 similar to the last, and possessed of nearly the same qualities. 

 The dwarfish, very crooked, antique habit of these trees makes 

 them very conspicuous. The bark on the old parts is very 

 thick and deeply cracked j the branchlets generally dichoto- 

 mous and marked with the scars of the fallen leaves. The 

 leaves while young, hoary with soft pubescence ; the flowers 

 few but large and white.
