Soutu AFRICA: without locality, Niven, ex Dryander. 
The type of this species is Andrews’ figure first above cited, which is quoted 
by Dryander, It is otherwise unknown to us, for we have been unable to recog- 
nize it amongst any collections we have seen, A small frustule in Herb. Brit, 
Mus., so marked, is certainly not this species, but possibly E. strigosa, which 
this certainly resembles, differing in its inflorescence and also in its muticous 
anthers. We place it here with some doubt.
