corolla subampullaccous or oblong-tubular, inflated, tapering upwards

white with a rosy tinge (not apparently red-veined); tube 12-14 lin. 
long ; segments spreading, ovate, subacute, white, 2-3 lin. long;

_Coasr Reeion: Caledon Div., rather rare; near Klein River, Masson, 42! 
mountains near Hartebeest River, King in Herb. Bolus! Bredasdorp Div. ; 
Klands Kloof, 1200 ft:, Schlechter, 9753! Also cultivated specimens ! 
We describe chiefly from King & Schlechter’s excellent specimens which agree 
well with Masson’s, and with Andrews’ figure. The species is very near to 
E. lagenxformis, differing chiefly in its smaller corolla-limb and narrower leaves, 
ri ve scarcely know the last-named well enough to warrant us in uniting 
them here. 
89. E. ampullacea (Curt. Bot. Mag. t. 303); erect, glabrous, 
1-1} ft. high; branches of straggling habit, rigid; leaves 4-nate, 
adpressed at the base, erect-recurved to subsquarrose, oval to lanceo- 
late, blunt, thick, ciliate, 2-4 lin, long, the floral more or less 
(sometimes much) dilated ; umbels 3-4-flowered ; pedicels stout, 
3-4 lin. long; bracts approximate, oblanceolate or lanceolate, 
_ ciliate, reddish, 3-4 lin. long ; sepals oblong, obtuse, ciliate, crimson, 
3-4 lin. long ; corolla ampullaceous ; tube ovoid or subglobose below, 
more or less gradually narrowed to the neck, then slightly dilated 
at the throat, viscidulous, 9-12 lin. long, pale rose with darker red 
veins ; segments spreading, broad ovate, very obtuse or subreniform, 
erenulate, white (or spotted or edged with red), 2-3 lin. long ; 
filaments widened at the anther; anthers subcrescent-shaped, acute, 
slender, prognathous and bilobed at the base, pallid, 1-12 lin. long, 
muticous; ovary subsessile or on a short broad stipe. Andr.
