E. pura, Lodd., and E. procumbens, Lodd., were described and figured from 
garden specimens, and may have been hybrids, No wild specimens have been 
seen. They are clearly closely related here; and the garden specimens pre- 
served show this even more fully than the plates. 
164. E. barbata (Benth. in DC. Prodr. vii. 671); characters of 
E. perlata, but anthers crested, crests curved and about 3 the length 
of the cell; whole plant somewhat more robust, and larger in all its 
parts ; indumentum longer, coarser and more copious ; stamens more 
included, though sometimes visible ; the lower bract sometimes want- 
ing. EE. barbata, var. major, Andr. Heathery, t. 4, and Ool. Heaths,

The only absolute character distinguishing this from the preceding is the 
anther-crests, which can hardly be regarded as of specific value. The plants 
have, however, a somewhat different aspect, and we follow Bentham, though with 
doubt, in keeping them separate. 
165. E. fausta (Salisb. in Trans. Linn. Soc. vi. 326) ; branchlets 
rather straight, finely pubeseent intermixed with long coarser white 
hairs, the pubescence said by Bentham to be subviscid; leaves 
3-nate, spreading, ovate-elliptical to narrow-lanceolate, acute, open- 
backed, puberulous, setose-ciliate with long hairs, 2-3 lin. long ; 
flowers 3-nate; pedieels 1} lin. long; bracts approximate, small and 
slender; sepals subulate, acute, densely setose-hispid, coloured on 
the lower part, foliaceous above, 12 lin. long; corolla urceolate- 
campanulate, puberulous, mouth wide, scarcely contracted at the 
throat, about 2 lin. long; segments somewhat spreading, about } as 
long as the tube ; anthers included, longer than the corolla-tube and 
manifest, dorsifixed well above the base, oblong, obtuse, about § lin. 
long, cristate; crests sublanceolate, acuminate, distantly toothed on 
the outer margin, incurved about % the length of the cell; style 
subexserted; stigma capitellate ; ovary densely hispid.

Said by Bentham to resemble in habit 
more branched. It is aka allied to 
the single exception of E. Lerouvie, 
satisfactorily whether or not they should 
be maintained as distinct.
