Near Æ. tréchoelada, Guthrie & Bolus, from which it differs chiefly in the 
slenderer habit, hispidulous (not hispid) indumentum, shorter usually revolute 
leaves, corollas with relatively shorter and much broader lobes and exserted 
stamens.

Close to E. Whyteana, Britten, which it much resembles on a first view ; 
the leaves, however, are longer and the pedicels markedly so, the calyx- 
lobes are broader, the corollas larger with somewhat larger lobes, and the 
anthers, while longer and different in shape, have awn-like instead of broad 
appendages.
