Tins species can only tentatively be held distinct from E. densincrvia, botb 

 being probably too closely related to E. braclcolata Wight to be held separate. 

 On die type specimens, the flowers differ distinctly in size, and it is usually 

 possible to estimate the size of the flowers of fruiting material, but it is very 

 diflicult to get correlating characters by which sterile specimens or those with 

 immature flowers can be distinguished. The leaves of E. densincrvia are nearly 

 always slightly longer and wider (especially at the base) than those of E. sab- 

 lanensis, the apex is nearly always rounded, while in the latter species there is 

 nearly always a distinct though short acumen; further the branches of the 

 Inflorescence of E. densincrvia are usually distinctly stouter. Nevertheless, the 

 species nearly or quite intergrade on all these characters. All the collections 

 here referred to E. densinevvia are unquestionably of that species, several under 

 E. sablanensis have immature flowers and are so identified on the faith of the 

 Other characters, which are of doubtful validity.

In general the leaves of the northern specimens are longer, actually or propor- 

 tionally, than those from Mount Mariveles, but they are well linked together by 

 }\'hilford 150, the nomenclatorial type.
