tracted, and terminating in a blunt, flightly curved, co- 
nical point. When the lid falls off, it difclofes numerous 
ftamina, which foon fpread very wide. The /y/e ftands 
on four crofs ribs in the centre of the flower, which 
crown the germen; it is club-fhaped, compreffed or 
angular; //gma fimple; germen in the bottom of the 
calyx. We have not feen the fruit ripe. Every part of 
this plant, and indeed of every other Evcalptus we have 
examined, is void of all pubefcence. This is not fo 
highly aromatic as fome other {pecies, though very per- 
ceptibly fo when rubbed, and it is likewife aftringent 
and acrid. Its refin is an inferior fort of red gum, of a 
brown hue. The fize and itrength of the tree, like 
that of the European Qyercus Robur, feem peculiarly to 
juitify the name rodu/ia.
