British Central Africa, Milanji Plateau, coll. T. McClounie (in

Most nearly allied to E. tenuipes Guth. and Bol, of the South- 
Western Cape Flora, differing by its 4-nate leaves, more strictly cyathi- 
form corolla (i. e., its erect, not subrecurved, segments), broader filaments, 
more exserted anthers. It is also near to E. planifolia Linn., and to 
E. thymifolia Wendl., differing from the former by its exserted anthers, 
from the latter by the shape of its corolla, its filaments of equal width, 
muticous anthers, and from both by its 4-nate leaves.
