Typical specimens of this species are easily distinguished from typical ones 

 of E. philippinensis, but there are often puzzling intermediates. To the charac- 

 ters given in the key, it may Ik- added that the leaves of E. navesii are usually 

 broader, more rounded at the base, and have more numerous veins than those 

 of the other species, but none of these can be depended upon. Even as regards 

 the more natural characters given in the key, it must be confessed that specimens 

 here referred to one or the other species approach the limits of size given very 

 closely; further, several collections, all referred here to E. navesii, seem to have 

 the calyx already longer at anthesis: these grade into the others so gradually 

 that they have not been separated. I have not followed Clarke in his reduction 

 of E. philippinensis to E. laevis var. tirnoriensis, because the only description 



1 have found of flowers of the latter states that the corolla-tube is shorter than 

 the calyx; in E. philippincnsis, they are regularly longer, though sometimes but 

 little, being about the size ascribed by Clarke to typical E. laevis. Indian and 

 Ceylon material of that species in this herbarium, though undoubtedly very 

 closely allied, seems sufficiently distinct. If Formosan material in this herbarium 

 named as E. formosana Hemsley has been correctly identified, that species must 

 be reduced to E. navesii. Otherwise, it is apparently confined to the Philip- 

 pines.
