Leptospermum camphoratum - has 3 cells in which case it agrees with Baeckea - I am now apt to think that Imbricaria & Baeckea are truly one genus. See my description of L. camphoratum, where you will find that it has 18 stamens. See also a description of Imbricaria polyandra, & Baeckea enncandra.
Metrosideros leptospermoides has 4 cells; an hemispherical truncated stigma, which is slightly concave.
Metrosideros leptospermoides, B.M. river, has the same, but is evidently a distinct species, as it differs from the former in having a pubescent calyx. I have sent you specimens of this by the Glatton. The label will distinguish it.
I have compared the Style & Stigma of Metrosideros capitata & pilosa with those of M. leptospermoides, in which they all agreed in shape, but the stigma in the 2 former, do not in general prove so regularly hemispherical, but still
