PEPPERMINT 
OF NEW SOUTH WALES. 
The annexed figure, which we liave deno^.^ 
minated the Peppermint of New South Walcs^ 
represents a small branch of a tree which 
grows plentifully in that part of the world> 
and has obtained the name of the Peppermint 
Tree, among the European settlers ; in coil- 
seqiience of the very great resemblance be- 
tween the essential oil drawn from it^s leaves^ 
and that obtained from the Mentha Piperita^ _ 
or common Peppermint, which grows SO 
abundantly in England and otlier countries of 
Europe. 
The drawing, which we have exa6lly copiedf,^^ 
is not more than about double the size of oiir 
print, yet it is said to be the natural size. ^ 
It presents to view the capsules, of a red co-"* 
lour, not very unlike our hawthorn bcrries,.^,^ 
the size being as similar as the hue.
