Metrosideros robusta, A. Cunn. Large forest tree, to 100 ft., with an irregular trunk: lvs. opposite, elliptic-ovate to elliptic-lanceolate, 1-1½ in. long, glabrous, very coriaceous; obtuse, veiny, with an extra nerve near each margin and parallel: fls. dark scarlet, many in broad and dense terminal cymes; calyx top-shaped. New Zeal. B.M. 4471 (erroneously as M.florida). R.B. 24:269.— Probably not in the trade, the plant sometimes known by this name being Callistemon lanceolatus. There appears to be a white-fld. form of the trade plant.
