We have united with this E. Leea, Andr., which consists of nothing but short- 
leaved forms; and even most of the varieties we have tried to distinguish run into 
each other. The last, however, is more distinct, and might by some be held as a 
good species. It has the sepals of EH. vestita, but not its leaves; the corolla and 
leaves of the present species, but broader sepals, and differs from E. onosmefiora 
chiefly in its somewhat differently-shaped, rot inflated, and not viscid corolla. 
Yet it appears to be too near to all of these to make it worthy of distinction as a 
species. 
35. E. onosmeeflora (Salisb. in Trans. Linn. Soc. vi. 363) ; erect, 
1-2 ft. high; branches somewhat virgate ; leaves 6-nate, erect- 
incurved to spreading, linear, subacute, round-backed, glabrous, 5-7 
lin. long by 14-3 lin. broad; flowers towards the. ends of the 
branches, mostly ascending; pedicels 1-2 lin. long; bracts sub- 
approximate, small ; sepals lanceolate with a long linear acuminate 
tip, thiek, glabrous, viscid and at length glossy and wrinkled, pallid,
