trailed, and terminating in a blunt, flightly curved, co- 
nical point. When the lid falls off, it difclofes numerous 
Jlamina^ which foon fpread very wide. The Jlyle hands 
on four crofs ribs in the centre of the flower, which 
crown the germen ; it is club-fhaped, comprefled or 
angular ; Jligma Ample ; germen in the bottom of the 
calyx. We have not feen the fruit ripe. Every part of 
this plant, and indeed of every other Eucalyptus we have 
examined, is void of all pubefcence. This is not fo 
highly aromatic as fome other fpecies, though very per- 
ceptibly fo when rubbed, and it is likewife aftringent 
and acrid. Its refln is an inferior fort of red gum, of a 
brown hue. The Aze and flrength of the tree, like 
that of the European ^ercus Robur^ feem peculiarly to 
juftify the name robujia.
