‘ SourH Arrica: Only known from Andrews’ figures and description. 
Kvidently a very distinct species, and may perhaps be allied to E. Mami- 
miliant.

subvirgate branches, 2~3 ft. high ; leaves 3—4-nate, erect-spreading, 
linear, 3-4 lin. long; flowers solitary or geminate, spreading ; bracts 
remote, foliaceous, small; sepals ovate-lanceolate, acuminate, keel- 
tipped, ciliate-serrulate, foliaceous, 21~3 lin. long ; corolla tubular,

Sour Arnica: Known to us only from cultivated specimens and Wendland’s 
excellent figure and description. 
_Allied to E. bibaw, yet apparently distinct by its more foliaceous sepals and the 
different manner in which the anthers are affixed to the filament. 
44, E. bibax (Salisb. in Trans. Linn. Soc. vi. 358) ; erect, virgate, 
1-2 ft. high; branches and limb of the corolla puberulous, glabrous 
elsewhere ; leaves 4-nate, linear-trigonous, erect-spreading, 2—4 lin. 
long ; flowers solitary, spreading; bracts approximate, like the sepals 
but smaller; sepals lanceolate, acute, keel-tipped, scarious, shining, 
coloured, 83-42 lin. long; corolla clavate-tubular, curved or nearly 
straight, puberulous or velvety, dry, yellow with a paler limb, 7-10 
lin. long ; filaments sharply bent at a right angle at the junction with 
the thickened dorsally-projecting connective; anthers included, 
oblong, $ lin. long, attached to the filament near the base of the
