"This name is proposed for all those species which, to a fleshy some- 

 what shapeless stem with \'?\v thin leaves, add a many-flowered inflores- 

 cence that is smooth or nearly so. Possibly it might be subdivided into 

 those with a dense inflorescence like E. convallanoides and pumiht, and 

 such as have the thin racemes of E. bractescens." Lindley I. c.
