This species, from its inflorescence, might be placed in either of the sections 
Pleurocallis or Evanthe ; in its leaves and general aspect it seems better included 
here. It isallied to HE. purpurea and EF, coccinea, but the sepals and anthers are 
quite different from either ; also to E. pinea, from which it may be known by its 
more spreading and blunter leaves, and smaller, differently set and shaped 
anthers ; lastly, to EZ. hesseana, from which it is to be distinguished by its longer 
sepals, shorter anthers, &c.
