Flowers, according to Cooper, “ pinkish white.” Habit and 
general appearance resemble E. eucanthera, Linu.f., but the leaves 
are4-nate. In floral characters nearest to E. stenantha, Klotzsch, 
but the flowers are sliorter, the corolla much less deeply cut, and 
the leaves and habit different.

The sepals and corolla are white. The habit something like 
that of E. triflora, L., or of E. vespertina, Linn. f. In floral 
structure it approaches most nearly to the last named, but the 
leaves are longer, the flowers larger, the bracts broader, the 
sepals longer in proportion to the corolla, the limb of the latter 
more connivent and not reflexed. Its 4-nate leaves seem to 
separate it from either of the sections Eurystegia or Eurystoma, 
while yet it unites certain floral characteristics of both.
