MALALEUCA, the CAYUTI TREE; a genus of the polyandria order, belonging to the polyadelphia class of plants. There is but one species, viz. the leucodendra, a native of the East Indies and South-Sea islands. Mr Forster relates that they were found in the island of New Caledonia. They were black at the root, but had a bark perfectly white and loose, with long narrow leaves like our willows. The leaves are extremely fragrant and aromatic; and Rumphius tells us, that from them the natives of the Moluccas make the oil called cayuti. This oil is commended as a nervous medicine, and as being useful in some cardialgias. The dose is four or five drops in some convenient liquor.
