Stems very slender and much distichously branched, spreading in a whorl from the 
Toot, 4-10 in. long, whitish, brittle. Leaves always small, coriaceous and opaque, 
Sometimes as broad as long, spreading at right angles, if toothed only at the broad 
end, nerveless ; stipules minute, triangular, 2-partite or laciniately toothed. Jn- 
volucres very numerous from the base to the tips of the stems and branches, minute, 
campanulate, very shortly pedicelled ; bracts at the base of the pedicels subulate ; 
lobes triangular, acute, nearly entire; glands very sbortly stipitate. Capsule shortly 
Pedicelled, is in. diam. Seeds bluish, when wet mucose.— Very similar to Æ. 
Chamesycee, but with perfectly smooth seeds, It is certainly very near indeed to the 
E. serpens, Kunth, of N. America and the West Indies, but differs in the minute 
stipules and the more entire leaves. Roth describes the larger leaves as being only 
1-1} line long, but the average in our specimen is 2-3 lines.—As stated under the 
following species, I suspect that Boissier's E. Heyneana is made up of Heyne's 
specimen of this species and the North-West Indian ones of Thomson, &c., which I 
have described as E. Clarkeana. .. . .

. Stems very slender, crowded from the root, a span long and under ; branches 
Waricating, pale, rather leafy, often with a few scattered hairs towards the tips. 
faves coriaceous, in typical specimens crowded towards the ends of short branchlets, 
distichously spreading, base almost auricled on one side; petiole very short; stipules 
rather large, setaceous from a broad toothed base. Involucres 4; in. long, campanu- 
ate. Styles very short. Capsule 4, in. broad. Seeds acutely 4-angled. 
I advance this as an undescribed species with great hesitation. It is undoubtedly 
the " Panjab, Lahore and Ferozepore” plant included under his E. Heyneana by 
olssier (who has named some of the specimens Æ. sanguinea, others E. Heyneana), 
but I have seen no Decean specimens, and I doubt its being the plant of Heyne seen 
Y Boissier in the St. Petersburg Herbarium, and which I suppose is E. microphylla. 
Nor do I find the white sub-3-lobed limb of the gland described by Boissier. lt is 
very near E. microphylla, differing in the long narrow leaves and locality, and more 
Closely resembles 77 sanguinea, Hochst. and Steud., of Abyssinia, but that plant has 
a distinct limb to the glands and large reflexed styles cleft nearly to the base, It is 
»9 doubt the Indian plant alluded to by Engelmann under E. prostrata. (Torrey 
t. Mex. Bound. Exped. 187) as identical with that species, which, however, differs
