13. E. broadleyana (Andr. Heathery, t. 206, not of Benth.) ; 
erect, 11 ft. high, apparently quite glabrous ; branches numerous, 
ascending ; leaves 3-nate (in the description, or 4-nate in the figure), 
fascicled, erect-spreading, linear, acute, incurved, glabrous, 4—5 lin. 
long ; flowers solitary, pendulous, forming a loose pseudo-raceme in 
the middle of the branches (or perhaps sometimes at the end of short 
branchlets?) ; pedicels coloured, curved, 3-5 lin. long; bracts remote, 
nearly basal, small], coloured; corolla inflated-tubular, much con- 
tracted at the mouth, red-purple, 7-81 lin. long; segments small, 
erect, yellow; anthers included, lateral, oblong, muticous ; filament 
with a double sigmoid curve above the middle ; ovary cylindrical, 
sessile, glabrous. Andr. Col. Heaths, t. 154. 
Sout ArFrica: locality and collector unknown. 
The type of this species is Andrews’ figure above cited, which exhibits a very 
distinct plant we have nowhere met with. Bentham mistakenly identified with 
this a specimen of Thom’s in herb. Kew, which on dissection proved to be, with- | 
‘out doubt, a form of E. filipendula, Benth. The author noted its want of 
agreement with Andrews’ figure and framed his description partly upon the 
specimen and partly upon the figure, placing it in § Bactridiwm. We have 
confined ourselves to the figure and description. It is impossible to see in 
Andrews’ figure whether the inflorescence is terminal or lateral. But the ovary 
is so very different from that of the other species of § Bactridiwm that it seems 
more properly a member of this section. 
14. E. bowieana (Lodd. Bot.- Cab. t. 842); branches virgate, 
10-12 in. long, with dense pseudo-racemes of flowers below the ends 
of the branches; leaves 4-nate, squarrose to recurved, crowded, 
oblong or lanceolate, acute, sulcate, thick, glabrous, 2-21 lin. long ; 
pedicels glabrous, about 3 lin. long; bracts remote, small, ovate- 
rhomboidal or suborbicular, subacute, keel-tipped, scarious, 2-21 lin. 
‘long; corolla tubular asymmetrically inflated, mouth contracted, 
oblique, white, glabrous, dry, 8-10 lin. long; limb ereet, short ; 
anthers included, oblong, sharply prognathous, about 1 lin. long, 
aristate; awns about as long as the cells; ovary very shortly 
stipitate, glabrous. Benth. in DC. Prodr, vii. 624. EH. Bowia,
