This has the aspect of E. tetragona, but differs by its floral characters. It 
also resembles somewhat EL. astroites, var. minor.

pedicels, bracts and sepals more or less densely covered with gland- 
tipped hairs ; lower leaves 3-nate, upper scattered, erect or spreading, 
imbricate, linear-subulate, obtuse, suleate, 2-3 lin. long; flowers in

This and the next species are interesting as exhibiting a truly racemose in- 
florescence, and constituting, in that respect, the only exceptions we have 
observed in the genus, 
119. E. irrorata (Guthrie & Bolus) ; erect, 1-11 ft. high; branches 
decumbent from the base, ascending, subvirgate, rusty brown, covered 
(as are the leaves, pedicels, bracts and sepals) with gland-tipped 
hairs ; leaves 3-nate or scattered and crowded on the lower parts 
of the branches, solitary on the upper parts, spreading, linear, 
bluntish, sulcate, puberulous as well as gland-hispid, 3-4 lin. long, 
the axils gemmiferous ; inflorescence axillary ; flowers solitary, with 
lengthening internodes, forming a long loose raceme, 4-7 in. long ; 
pedicels slender, 4-6 lin. long ; bracts two only, remote, small, about 
12 lin. long; sepals oblong or lanceolate, subacute, 2-23 lin. long ; 
corolla tubular, wider at the base, gradually but slightly attenuated 
upwards, again widened below the throat and constricted above it, 
pubescent, dry ; tube rosy, from 6-8 lin. long, by 2-2} lin. wide in
