with the inflorescence of the previous season, bearing the persistent 

 capsules. The latter show what appears to be the line of circum- 

 scissile dehiscence ; otherwise there are no evident grounds for refer- 

 ring the plant to Eucalyptus. The leaves are not phyllodineous, and 

 apparently not vertical : they are unequally alternate, oblong, acumi- 

 nate, or at least acute at both ends, 4 or 5 inches long and 1£ or 2 

 inches wide, on petioles of half an inch in length, equilateral, char- 

 taceous, thickly pellucid-punctate, dull and of the same hue both sides, 

 loosely feather-veined, the primary veins and the midrib prominent 

 underneath, but impressed above; the veinlets minutely reticulated. 

 Branchlets, especially the fructiferous ones, somewhat angled. The 

 flowers appear to have been in naked, terminal and axillary, panicu- 

 late cymes; the peduncles, dec, compressed-angled, many-floivered ; the 

 pedicels umbellately fascicled in threes and fives, as long as the cap- 

 sules. The latter are globular, 2 lines in diameter, the summit, above 

 the line from which the limb of the calyx has fallen, convex ; there 

 four-valved ; within four-celled ; each cell containing a large placenta, 

 which has evidently borne numerous seeds. These, however, have 

 all been shed. — I thus record the plant, under the name given by Mr. 

 Rich in the collection, since Blume has published one or two Euca- 

 lypti from the Molluccas and other Malayan Islands, to which this 

 plant may be related.
