Andr.) ; erect, 1-2 ft. high, glabrous in all parts; branches sub- 
virgate with elongating internodes; leaves erect, subacute, 2-22 lin. 
long; pedicels slender, over 3 lin. long ; bracts approximate, linear, 
1-1} lin. long; sepals linear-lanceolate, acuminate, keeled, scarious, 
ciliolate, 25 lin. long ; corolla-tube cylindrical, mouth slightly con- 
tracted, glabrous, dry, yellow or white, 5-6 lin. long, about * lin.

Allied to and resembling E. pavetteflora, but quite distinct by its more equal 
corolla-tube, smaller limb, and different anthers. It appears to be very local. 
Rach, who examined Thunberg’s herbarium, in Linnea, xxvi. 777, identified this 
with E. tenuiflora, Andr., and the descriptions agree well. 
104. E. fastigiata (Linn. Mant. 66, not of Andr.); erect, 1-14 
{t. high ; branches flexuous or subvirgate ; internodes elongating on 
the upper branches; leaves erect or spreading, crowded below, 
incurved, linear, acute, glabrous, about 3 lin. long; flowers sub- 
sessile ; bracts approximate, lanceolate-linear or subulate-linear, 
acute, keeled, scarious, 3 lin. long; sepals like the bracts, but some- 
what longer, 8-6 lin. long; corolla-tube cylindrical, sometimes 
slightly inflated below, sometimes at the throat, glabrous, red or 
rosy, about 5 lin. long; limb subovoid, mealy, white, dark-centred, 
1} lin. long, 13-2} lin. wide; anthers oblong or suboval, pallid, 
zz lin. long, muticous; pore 1-1 the length of the cell; style
