correctly named) in the Kew Herbarium, from the garden 

 of the late Eev. Henry Harper-Crewe, M.A., of Drayton 

 Beauchamp. This differs from E. Wildpretii in being a 

 much more robust, hispidly hairy plant, with strongly 

 nerved leaves, very unequal calyx-segments, and a shorter, 

 broader corolla-tube. It is further described as being a 

 small tree. 



Descr. — A tall, softly hairy biennial, with a simple, 

 erect, leafy stem, two to three feet high, terminated by a 

 dense-flowered thyrsus of innumerable shortly peduncled 

 cymes, which are very much shorter than the linear, up- 

 curved floral leaves. Leaves six to eight inches long, 

 sessile, narrowly linear-lanceolate, acuminate, spreading, 

 softly hairy on both surfaces, costa stout beneath, nerves 

 faint ; lower floral leaves three to four inches long, linear. 

 Flowers sub-sessile. Calyx about one-fifth of an inch long ; 

 segments equal, lanceolate, acuminate, hairy. Corolla 

 between funnel- and bell-shaped, pale red ; lobes rounded. 

 Filaments far exserted. Style hairy, tip bifid. — /. D, S,
