SYN. E. piperita, White’s Voy. p. 226, figure of the 
leaves only. 
A fine effential oil, much like that of Peppermint, is 
obtained from this {pecies, and every part of the dried 
plant exhales the fame odour when rubbed.—We are 
now convinced this is diftinét from the following, havy- 
ing compared the flowers of both. At the fame time 
we have obferved the minute white fpots on the leaves 
(Whites Voy. 228.) in E. piperita, as well as in the other. 
s. E. odliqua, operculo hemifphzrico mucronulato, 
umbellis lateralibus folitariis ; pedunculis ramulifque 
teretibus. 
Lid hemifpherical, with a little point. Umbels la- 
teral, folitary: flower-ftalks and young branches 
round. 
Syn. E.obliqua, M¢. Hort. Kew. v. 2. 157. L’Herit. 
Sert. Angl. t. 20. 
From the only fpecimen we have feen of this, which 
is in Sir Jofeph Banks’s herbarium, it appears the 
branches are all round to the very top. General flower- 
flaiks round, the partial ones only flightly angular, not 
comprefied. Bark rough from the fcaling off of the 
cuticle, but this may bean unnatural appearance. Leaves 
ovato-lanceolate, aromatic, but without the flavour of 
peppermint. 
6. E. corymbofa, operculo hemifphzrico mucronulato, 
umbellis corymbofo-paniculatis terminalibus.
