MYRTUS, Linn. 
M. racemulosa, Benth. ; PL Austr. iii. 276. Black-fruited 
Myrtle. 2. A tall shrub or small tree, with ovate acuminate leaves all 
under 2 in. long. Pruit a black berry containing numerous seeds — 
over 25 in the fruits examined ; these are borne on solitary filiform 
peduncles above the axils of the leaves, but probably the subtending 
leaves were abortive and had fallen. 
MYRTUS? 
Tree 30 or 40 feet high, trunk often crooked, 1 to li feet diameter, 
bark thick and loose on the outside ; head spreading and foliage very 
dense ; branchlets and leaf -petioles silky-hairy. Leaves ovate, with 
long acuminate points, mostly under 1 in. long, glabrous except while 
very young, coriaceous, the midrib alone showing, glossy on the upper, 
pale and closely dotted with minute dots on the under side ; petioles 
2 lines long. 
This and the Leptospermum loooroonooran are the only two large trees on the 
south peak of Bellenden-Ker, therefore of sufficient interest to mention, although 
•no flowers or fruit were obtained. I have placed it under Myrtusy but it strongly 
reminds one of some of the New Zealand Metrosideros.
