at its base with many subulate glands, puberulous beneath and subsericeous on the mid- 
rib and nerves, 23-23 in. long, 14 in. broad, on petioles 5% lines long; raceme much 
longer than the leaves, on an elongated peduncle, densely flowered above, on approximate 
puberulous pedicels 34-44 lines long,s upported by acutely lanceolate bracteoles one half 
to three fourths shorter than the pedicels, and afterwards reflexed ; sepals triangularly 
ovate, puberulous, 11-2 lines long, with 5-8 inner acute scales; corolla, in the whole, 
8] lines long; tube glabrous, cylindrical for half its length, a little swollen above; 
segments short, ovate, obtusely rounded, much shorter than the tube; stamens inserted 
in the contraction of the tube upon a sericeous woolly ring; anthers short, glabrous; 
disk of 5 free ovate lobes, nearly as long as the obtusely ovoid ovaries.

A species belonging to this genus because of the glandular midribs of its leaves. It is 
said by Müller to be near E microcalyx and E. acutiloba, before described. It has very 
slender, puberulous branches, with axils 2 in. apart; leaves ovate or oblong-ovate, nar- 
rowed and cordate at the base, shortly acuminate, membranaceous, olive-green above, 
opake, puberulous, with 7-10 pairs of nerves, reticulately veined, the midrib charged at 
its base with many subulate glands, paler beneath, and softly cano-pubescent, 12-23 in. 
long, 7-12 lines broad, on petioles 22 lines long ; racemes axillary, scarcely as long as 
the leaves, on a peduncle 74 lines long, bearing 5-7 flowers on pedicels 42 lines long, 
supported by linear-lanceolate bracteoles half their length; sepals ovate-lanceolate, sub- 
obtuse, puberulous, 12-21 lines long; corolla altogether 1 in. long; tube 7 lines long, 
cylindrical for half its length, a little swollen above; segments narrowly obovate, acumi- 
nate, half as long as the tube; stamens seated in the contraction of the tube; disk of 5 
broadly ovate lobes, half as long as the ovaries.

This species has few of the characters of a Peschiera; and as it bears most of the 
essential features existing in Z. umbellata, Ï have placed it here. 
Its branches are terete; the branchlets subtetragonous, with membranaceous angles, 
glabrous, having several ovate acute, coriaceous interpetiolar stipules conjoined across 
the nodes; leaves oblong or elliptic, acute at the base, suddenly contracted at the summit, 
with a recurved acute acumen, membranaceous, glabrous, with about 20 pairs of patent 
curving nerves, and very short petioles; racemes axillary, on a bifid peduncle, with 
short bracteolate pedicels; sepals lanceolate, obsoletely puberulous, with few internal 
basal scales; tube of corolla long and slender, with ovate-oblong acute segments as long 
as the tube; stamens inserted in the middle of the tube. 
33. EcnirEs DISADENA, Miq. Stirp. Surin. Sel. p. 156; Walpers, Ann. iii. p.43. In Surinam: non vidi. 
A species congeneric with the preceding. It has glabrous branchlets; leaves oblong or 
elliptic-ovate, obtuse at the base, with a short acute acumen, coriaceous, with about 8 
pairs of curving spreading nerves, reticulated, with 2 approximate, ovate, entire erect
