In habit this resembles the smaller-flowered specimens of 
E. floribunda, Lodd. ; but the flowers, wbich are pink according 
to Mr. Wood, are still smaller (perhaps the smallest in the 
genus) and are besides differently shaped.

&c. 
This has somewhat the appearance and habit of Ericinella 
passerinoides, mihi, but both the leaves and flowers are less 
densely crowded. The sepals are much more nearly equal than 
is usually the case in this genus.
