long; sepals ovate-lanceolate or oblanceolate, somewhat suddenly 
narrowed to an acuminate point, keeled above and pubescent on the 
keel, scarious, ciliate, 5-51 lin. long, 12 lin. broad, somewhat 
coloured ; corolla-tube subcylindrical, slightly larger at the base and 
more or less narrowed to the throat, glabrous, red-purple, 53—73 lin. 
long, 2-23 lin. broad ; segments broad-ovate, acute, 2-8 lin. long, 
more than 2 lin. broad, white, sometimes with red bands below; 
anthers included, oblong, dark, 2—% lin. long, muticous ; pore about 
2 the length of the cell; style shortly exserted ; stigma small, 
capitellate. 2. ventricosa, Thunb., var. grandiflora, Benth. in DC.

A fine and well-marked species, perhaps nearest to EZ. Walkeria, but larger 
in all parts, and especially distinguishable by the straighter, more erect, longer 
leaves. It is also near to E. fastigiata, var. coventryana, but the sepals and the 
anthers are very different. 
107. E. prenitens (Tausch in Flora, 1834, 596); erect, 1-2 ft. 
high; branches stout, densely flowered; leaves erect to patent, 
subflexuous, linear-trigonous, subacute, glabrous, over 2 lin. long; 
flowers subsessile; bracts approximate, unilateral, linear-subulate, 
glabrous, 21-8 lin. long; sepals narrow-lanceolate, long-acuminate, 
keeled, scarious, very shortly lacerate, 3 lin. long; corolla-tube 
cylindrical, very slightly inflated, glabrous, dry, 7 lin. long, about 
11 lin. broad; segments ovate, scarcely mealy, 13 lin. long ; anthers 
oblong, dark, 1 lin. long, muticous; pore + the length of the cell; 
style at length exserted. H. walkeriana, var. 6% grandiflora, 
Benth. in DC. Prodr, vii. 647.

This can hardly be a variety of EZ. Walkeria. It is indeed nearer to 2. 
Sastigiata, but seems to be sufficiently distinct. Bentham, to whom Tausch’s 
species, was, apparently, unknown, quoted it with doubt, and says “ an species 
propria?” In general appearance it has some resemblance to LZ. denticulata, 
var. grandiflora, but is immediately distinguishable by the different sepals, 
besides the less inflated corolla. 
108. E. Walkeria (Andr. Heathery, t. 50); erect, 1-11 ft. high ; 
branches mostly slender, densely leafy and flowered; leaves usually 
spreading and incurved, linear, subacute, keeled, about 2 lin. long; 
flowers subsessile; bracts approximate, subequal, lanceolate, scarious; 
sepals oblong, lanceolate, or sometimes suboblanceolate, acute, searious, 
minutely ciliate-lacerate, thickly keeled at the apex, 2-3 lin. long, 
bracts and sepals often uncinately-incurved ; corolla-tube urceolate, 
rosy or red, 3—4 lin. long; segments ovate or suborbicular, rarely 
mealy above, about 1 lin. long ; anthers oblong, about 2 lin. long, 
muticous ; pore 1 the length of the cell. Andr. Col. Heaths, t. 72.
