the flower before expansion, and afterwards
falls off ill the shape of a lid, or cover. Linn,
12, Or. ], Nat. Or. Myrtdcem. All the species
of this genus are very tall and handsome, and
as they grow fast, are well adapted for conservatories.
E, •perfolidta will endure the open
air against a south wall, in which situation it
looks very handsome, on account of its hoary,
bluish foliage, and neat growth of the branches.
They delight to grow in a mixture of peat,
loam, and sand ; and cuttings, not too ripe,
root readily iu sand, under a glass. A kind of
gum, called kino, is got from E. resinifera, and
sold in the medicine bazaars of India ; and
various other species yield a large quantity of
tannin, which is extracted from the trees in
New Holland, and sent to the English market,
and is said to be twice as powerful in its operations
as oak-bark. Synonymes: 1, E. corddta;
