120. E. rufescens (Klotzsch in Linnea, x. 332); erect, about 1 ft.

are the leaves and pedicels) with gland-tipped hairs ; leaves alternate,

flowered umbels ; pedicels slender, flexuous, 5-7 lin. long ; bracts 
remote, erect, small; sepals ovate or oblong, acute, concave, keeled, 
glabrous, viscid, green or reddish, 13-2 lin. long ; corolla tubular- 
inflated below, or subampullaceous, either attenuated to a short 
narrow neck, thinly pubescent with fine soft hairs, rosy below, 
darker at the throat; tube 7-12 lin. long; segments rounded, wider 
than long, white or pallid, about 1 lin, long; anthers included, 
narrow-cuneate, subacute, pale brown, membranous, nearly 1 lin. 
long, crested ; crests about } the length of the cell, darker-coloured ; 
pore 2 the length of the cell; style shortly exserted; ovary

We have seen Klotzsch’s type in Herb. Berlin, and it is certainly conspecific 
with the plants cited under var. 8. The difference in size of the inflorescence 
and flowers might easily be accounted for by a greater luxuriance of growth ; 
yet, as the material is scanty, it is better to distinguish them. A far greater 
difficulty is the question whether either should be separated from E. glutinosa. 
On this point there are grave doubts, the solution of which, since our material is 
scanty, may be left to future workers. 
121. E. glutinosa (Berg. Deser. Pl. Cap. 98, not of Andr.) ; erect, 
generally under 1 ft. high; branches ascending, together with the 
leaves and pedicels more or less densely covered with viscid hairs ; 
leaves sub-4-nate below, irregularly scattered on the upper parts, 
recurvo-patent, somewhat crowded, linear, obtuse, suleate or some- 
what open-backed, puberulous and gland-ciliate, 2-3 lin. long ; 
umbels many-flowered, subracemoso-corymbose at the ends of the 
branches; pedicels slender, 3-6 lin. long; bracts remote, small; 
sepals lanceolate, thick, glabrous, glossy, red, about 1 lin. long; 
corolla urceolate, sparsely pubescent, viscid; tube rosy, 4-5 lin. 
long; throat contracted, purple; segments very short, rounded,
