§ 11. Puatyspora. Inflorescence axillary or subaxillary; flowers sometimes 
arranged in long pseudo-racemes, or dense pseudo-spikes or heads, corolline or 
rarely subealycine. Bracts and sepals scarious or glumaceous, the former always 
smaller, the sepals more or less distinctly imbricate and in opposite pairs, upper 
pair somewhat narrower, all white or pallid. Corolla suburceolate, subsalver- 
shaped, or ovoid, contracted at the throat, from 3-8} lin. long; limb mostly 
spreading or recurved, sometimes large {with a general resemblance to that of 
§§ Callista and Lamprotis). Filaments capillary, rarely rather broad. Anthers 
included, lateral, shortly aristate or muticous. Style included ; stigma simple or, 
capitellate ; ovary mostly glabrous, rarely puberulous; ovules flat or more or — 
less broadly -winged, or with a membranous margin, or lenticular and not 
marginate, Leaves 8- or 4-nate, always narrow, acute or acuminate, glabrous. 
Branches mostly virgate. ' 
EXCEPTION : the flowers are snbcalycine in E. albens. 
Allied on varions sides to the §§ Euryloma, Callista, and Lamprotis. From 
the two former it is distinguished generally by the flat or compressed, mostly mar- 
gined or winged, ovules and seeds. The character is not, however, always 
capable of verification, and sometimes not well-marked. Similar seeds have been 
found in other species, as in EH. dianthifolia, BE. chlorosepala (and perhaps in — 
others) which, owing to the predominance of other characters, have been placed 
elsewhere. From § Lamprotis this section is distingui
