unan. 
Stems 6-12 in., stout, often with proliferous shoots of very narrow acute leaves ; 
stock as thick as the thumb. Leaves 4-3 in. broad, base acute or rounded, quite 
entire, upper or floral rarely oblong or ovate, nerves 3 very slender. Znvolucres } in, 
diam., glabrous without and within ; lobes acute; glands stipitate, peltate reniform 
or semilunate and 2-horned, or transversely oblong, entire or irregularly toothed ; 
bracteoles numerous, Styles connate below the middle. Capsule 1-À in. diam, 
long pedicelled, rather depressed. Seed mottled or not, ecarunculate, 
52. E. thyrsoidea, Boiss. in DC. Prodr, xv. ii, 164; glabrous, tall, 
stem grooved with ‘many short branches from the axils upper with 6-10 
twin 2-fid rays forming a thyrse, leaves rhombic-oblong from a narrow base 
subacute remotely denticulate much veined beneath, of the sterile branches 
narrowly linear, floral orbicular-ovate obtuse, involucres short lobes large 
ciliate, styles rather long connate to the middle.

Stem 3 ft. Leaves 3 by lin., upper smaller, membranous. ZAyrse terminal, 
in, long, reddish in flower.  Znvolucres turbinately hemispheric, lobes truncate 
or retuse; glands with converging horns. Styles 2-lobed, tips thickened. Capsule 
unknown.—I have seen no specimens. Boissier, who places it in the same section as F. 
Rothiana, describes it as allied to E. agraria, M. Bieb., of Asia Minor, and Æ. iberica, 
Boiss., of Persia, &c., and as being remarkable for the distinctly veined leaves. It seems 
to have the denticulate leaves of E. pilosa var. cornigera, and the shcots with very 
narrow leaves of E. prolifera. 
DOUBTFUL SPECIES. 
E. ANGUSTIFOLIA, Ham. in Don Prodr. 62; perennial, stem 1 foot erect branched 
subvillous, umbels trifid, leaves scattered linear obtuse glabrous, involucres subsessile, 
glands bicornute.—Nepal, at Norcotera, Hamilton. Boissier (in DC. p. 177) suggests 
this being E. Rothiana, which is not a N epal species and is usually glabrous. 
E. (Chamesycew) HISPIDA, Boiss. Cent. Euphorb. 8, and in DC. Prodr. xv. ii. 
27; annual, softly hispid, stems decumbent or prostrate, leaves subsessile elliptic 
obtuse tip sharply serrulate base rounded, the larger 4 in., involucres solitary forming 
Short leafy axillary racemes turbinate glabrous, throat with a white beard, lobes 
ovate, glands transversely ovate as broad as their white or rosy obtusely 2-3-lobed 
limb, styles short 2-fid, cocci sparsely hairy acutely keeled, seed white, transversely 
taberculately rugose. E. calliadena, Engelm. mss.—India, Wallich. n. 325, and 207 
In Herb, Kew, Himalaya, Jacquemont; Kashmir, at Pir Pundjal, Hugel.—I find 
B Plant answering to these numbers in Kew Herbarium, nor do I find them cited in 
sits Herbarium. Boissier places it next to E. coccinea. Can it be E. Kmodi, 
E. (Chamæsyceæ) NILAGHIRIOA, Miquel Analect. Bot. iii. 17, and in Hohenack.

th A doubtful plant, resembling some varieties of E. corrigioloides, but differing from 
at in the less thick leaves, solitary involucres, larger capsules and shorter styles, 
th 'ssier refers it to Æ., sanguinea, Hochst, as var. nilagirica, but it is quite unlike 
i at plant. Engelmann (in Torrey, Bot. Mex. Bound. Survey, 187) refers it to Æ. 
aequilatera, Sonder (in Linnea xxiii, 105), a Natal plant, referred as a variety 
atalensis) to sanguinea by Boissier.
