Distin^uislied from E, Stowardii by the absence of btiiriness, the sinallor 

 narrower less markodly tubercled leaves, the larger sepals, broad filaments 

 copiously hairy throughout tipped by smaller anthers with but a tiny 

 apiculus, tliG smaller obtuse carpels and stout pubescent style. 



The two plants here described, as well as E, tomeatelLus^ Diels, are 

 doubtless allied to E. (lijformis^ A. Cunn.

This is not placeable in any of the series of Bentham. It is evidently 

 near 0. tetraijonopliylliun^ E. Fritz.^ a species the describer assigns doubtfully 

 to series Eodolohiece^ a stop it is difficult to follow.

Dr. Steward suggests that this may be merely a more luxuriant specimen 



of the species, but it looks sufficiently different to warrant a varietal name.
