rarely also terminal; flowers corolline or rarely subcalycine. Bracts small and

urceolate, ovoid or subcampanulate, 1-3 Jin. long, dry, glabrous; limb short or 
very short. Anthers exserted or subexserted, rarely subincluded, mostly lateral, 
more rarely subterminal, muticous, or (in two species only) aristulate; pore 
generally small proportionately to the cell. Generally erect and rigid shrubs, 
with 3-4-nate, erect, sulcate (or rarely subopen-backed) leaves. 
Exceptions: leaves sometimes subopen-backed in FE. racemosa and E. dumosa ; 
flowers subcalycine in E. fucata, and sometimes so in L. scytophylla; anthers 
sometimes scarcely exserted in EB. fucata and in E, seytophylla.
