branches are ſomewhat crooked, and have towards their extremity alternate leaves, ſlightly bent, and about ſix inches in length, and one-half in breadth.
The flowers are ſolitary, and grow from the baſe of the ſtalk of the leaf.
The calix is ſhaped like an inverted urn, and conſiſts, like that of the other genera of the ſame tribe, of a ſingle leaf, which falls off as ſoon as the ſtamina are completely formed.
It has no corolla.
The ſtamina are numerous and attached to the ſides of the receptacle.
The ſtyle is ſimple and divided at its baſe into four partitions. It has only one ſtigma.
The capſule is open at the top, and generally divided into four partitions, which contain a number of angular ſeeds; at the baſe it has four angles, two of which project more than the reſt. It is ſhaped like a button; on which account I have denominated this tree eucalyptus globulus.
