Hab, SafFragam District. 



Closely allied to and possibly a variety of E. aurea, but I am disposed to consider 

 it distinct : the present plant is more glaucous, the leaves mnch narrower, the panicle 

 fewer-flowered, and the rostrum of the fruit very ^different in shape. i2. articulata, 

 Schnlt., of which I have a specimen from Khasia given me by Dr. Hooker, is near y 

 allied to both the above-mentioned plants, but specifically distinct, I think.
