Branches often thorny, not so dark as E. hortensis. Leaves 1-2} in., obtuse, 
glabrous or sparsely pubescent above, nerves obscure; petiole l in. Flowers pedi- 
* celled, appearing with the leaves, white, fragrant. Perianth } in., silvery, tube 
slender, narrowly funnel-shaped, teeth broadly triangular-ovate. Fruit j in. long, 
succulent.—I follow Maximovicz in referring E. reflexa to this, but the only specimen 
so called that I have seen is from Thuret’s garden (Antibes) and is E. latifolia. 
3. E. pyriformis, Hook. f.; shrubby, leaves persistent ? oblong or 
elliptie subsilvery beneath, flowers clustered, fruit very small very shortly
