is with E. perpallida Merr., which has smaller and more acuminate leaves, the 
inflorescence usually shorter, and the anthers more numerous. An almost equally 
natural and even greater superficial resemblance is to E. grisea C, B. Rob., so 
much so that three collections previously referred to the latter should be included 
in E, hrevistylis. These are Ahem ^29, Tinago Island; Ahem J}iS, Dinagat; 
and Ahem 616, Surigao. The species appear sufficiently distinct in the less 
crowded flowers, fewer and shorter stamens, and shorter styles of E. hrevistylis; 
its petioles are often longer and more slender, but there is little vegetative dif- 
ference.

Inflorescences terminal^ sessile or by abortion of their lowest branches 
or of the uppermost leaves peduncled (the terminal steni-internode 
usually about 4 cm long), corymbose-paniculate, 2.5 to G cm long, 3.5

next fork, the second pair of lateral branches about 8 mm long, the basal 
internode of the central branch 1 cm long, or all these proportionally 
longer in the largest panicles ; the branches forked like the panicle itself ,

branches again trifurcate, the lower basal tertiaiy branches about 2 to 
5 mm long, 1 -flowered, the central tertiary branch of similar lengthj 
3-flowered, the flowers sessile or subsessile ; bracteoles present but minute : 
l)uds just before anthesis turbinate, about 7.5 mm long, including a 
pseudostalk about 2.5 mm long, 4.5 mm wide below the apex, 4 mm wide 
at the apex of the calyx ; calyx margin tmncate or most obscurely with 
4 very short and very broadly rounded lobes; corolla calyptrate but easily 
separable into 4 petals of irregular size and shape, from 2 mm long and 
4 mm wide to 1.8 mm long and 2.5 mm wide in the same flower; disk
