cyathiform, mouth not (or very slightly) contracted, puberulous, 
white to pale rosy, 2-21 by 1} lin.; segments erect, rounded, small ; 
filaments tapering upwards; anthers included, semiovate or sub-

Allied to E. marifolia and resembling it in miniature; but differing in the 
sepals, corolla, and the anthers, the latter being both shorter and broader; also 
to E. hirta, to the flowers of which (especially the short-sepaled form) it 
is very near; but the habit, pubescence and anthers are different. The 
pubescence appears to be more silvery than in either of the two species above 
named,

Coast Reaion: Worcester Div.; Dutoits Kloof, 2000-3000 ft., Drége, 
1185 ! 
A well-defined species, allied to E. owycoccifolia. Bentham remarks that he 
found no cymose inflorescence, nor have we. ; 
177. E. oreophila (Guthrie & Bolus) ; diffuse, about 6 in. high ; 
branches from a stout short stem, filiform, spreading, flexuous, 
puberulous, reddish, the older with small but prominent scars of 
leaf-cushions ; leaves 3-nate, spreading or squarrose, oblong some-
