Of this we possess, three very distinct appearances in our herbarium, collected by Mr. Menzies and Mr. 

 Macrae, in the same islands. In one the leaves are oblongo-lanceolate, and not at all acumiuated ; in another

 precisely similar to what we possess from the east coast of New Holland. This species has the smell of the 

 true Sandal-wood, and is exported to China.
