Allied to E. squarrosa but the corolla has a different shape, the anthers dis- 
tinctly prognathous, and the leaves not squarrose. Also allied to E, Massoni, 
var. minor, judging by the figures of the latter, but seems distinct. 
82. E. squarrosa (Salisb. in Trans. Linn. Soc. vi. 380); leaves 
sub-4-nate, squarrose or spreading, more or less erowded, oblong, 
obtuse, thickish, somewhat thinly ciliate with long spreading rusty 
hairs, 2-3 lin. long; umbels many-flowered ; pedicels slender, viscid, 
4-5 lin. long; bracts remote, linear, ciliate like the leaves, 1} lin. 
long; sepals lanceolate, acute, barbed with long hairs at the 
apex, keeled, 13 lin. long; corolla narrow-ovoid-urceolate, viscid, 
glabrous, 5-6 lin. long; tube rosy; throat purple; segments 
subacute, apparently white; filaments capillary, dilated near the 
anthers; anther dorsifixed, oblong, slightly bent, scarcely progna- 
thous or bilobed at the base, 2 lin. long, muticous; ovary distinctly 
stipitate, glabrous. J. ferruginea, Andr. Heathery, t. 162, and Col.

A distinct and apparently rare species, no specimens having been collected, so 
far as we know, during the last 100 years. It is closely allied to E. Gysbertii, 
and has a curious resemblance in its leaves, authers and ovary to E. Massoni. 
83. E. aristata (Andr. Heathery, t. 152); erect, glabrous; 
leaves 4-nate, squarrose-recurved, narrow-oblong, acute, glabrous, 
rigidly ciliate, 2}—-3 lin. long ; floral leaves more erect, longer and 
bract-like ; umbels 4-flowered ; pedicels viscid, 3 lin. long; bracts 
remote or subremote, linear-lanceolate, rigid, coriaceous, viscid, 5—4 
lin, long; sepals linear-lanceolate, acuminate, coriaceous, viscid, 
3-5 lin. long; corolla tubular-inflated, only slightly narrowed 
above the middle, a little constricted at the throat, viscid, rosy, 
with 8 darker red veins; tube 1 in. long; throat dark purple ; limb 
white; segments spreading, oblong, retuse, wider than long, 1} lin. 
long ; filaments slender, mueh dilated and darker coloured at the 
apex near the anther, with a distinct dark central nerve; anthers 
subcrescent-shaped, deeply bilobed, and subprognathous at’the base, 
ever 11 lin, long, muticous; style equalling the stamens ; stigma 
capitellate, very small ; ovary elongate, not or scarcely stipitate, 
3 lin. long. Andr. Col. Heaths, t. 147; Bot. Mag. t, 1249; Lodd.
