Very near //. evytlirlna, but dwarfer and differs by its smaller densely crowded 

 leaves, which are broader in proportion to their length and more ol>ovate, the 

 umbels are also smaller and more head-like. 



27. E. artifolia (N. E. Br.) ; plant apparently about 8-10 In. (or 

 less) hi<^h, with probably several main stems arising from a 

 perennial rootstock, only one such stem has been seen, which 

 consists of a simple naked stem 3 in, long and \\ lin. thick, 

 marked with numerous leaf-scars, bearing at its apex an umbel 

 of 7 simple or divided erect branches 3-5 in. long and i—f lin. 

 thick, densely leafy, glabrous, purplish; leaves alternate, crowded, 

 spreading, more or less imbricate, scarcely petiolate, rather thick 

 in substance, l|-2 lin. long, f-H lin. broad, elliptic or elliptic- 

 oblong, obtusely rounded at the apex, with a recurved apiculus, 

 entire, with thickened margins, glabrous, very minutely ciliate, 

 having a glaucous appearance when dried; umbels ^-1 in, in diam., 

 compact or dense, 3-5-rayed; rays (including the flowers) 1-6 lin. 

 long, 3-5-flowered ; bracts at the base of the umbel like the leaves, 

 those under the involucres, suborbicular, 1^—2 lin. long and broad, 

 with a recurved apiculus; involucre 1-1-^ lin. in diam. ; cup-shaped, 

 with 4 glands, glabrous ; glands spreading, J-f lin. in their greater 

 diam., transverse, crescent-shaped, with the short horns deflexed 

 and slightly incurved; capsule about 2 lin. in diam., exscrted on 

 a pedicel shortly exceeding the involucre and recurved, glabrous, 

 apparently glaucous ; styles fj'ce to the base, radiately spreading, 

 h lin. long, bifid for about half theu' length, with diverging tips ; 

 seeds subglobose, nearly 1 lin. in diam., smooth, dark grey, with a 

 proportionately very large obtusely conical dull yellow aril about 

 I lin. Um^ at one end.

28. E. genistoides (Berg. Descr. Ph Cap. 146); a dwarf shrublet, 

 B-H ft. high, sometimes branching at the base into numerous 

 i^imple stems, sometimes with the stems branching in the upper 

 part or irregularly, woody at the lower part; branches rather 

 slender, puberulous to glabrous on the younger parts, leafy ; leaves 

 alternate, usually ratht^r crowded, shortly petiolate or subsessile, 

 spreading or ascending, 2-9 lin. long, ^\\ lin. broad, linear, acute 

 or obtuse, mucronate, rounded at the base, with revolute margins,
