I am quite unable to find any distinction between E. cpicyparissias and 

 E. Inrolacrata as maintained by Boissier, either in structure or appearance, which 

 latter is remarkably uniform, except in var. y, which seems only to differ in ltd 

 weaker and more lax habit. The form named E, Badunannt by Pax is n<^t distinct 

 from K. involucraia, var. megasiegki, Boiss., and merely consi&ts of very Ivii^uriant 

 specimens of the plant, with larger bracts than usual.
