Placed by Bentham in § Geissostegia ; but the bracts are not those of that 
section, and sublateral anthers, approaching these, occur elsewhere in this 
section, to which its open-backed leaves seem to indicate a natural alliance. 
206. E. macrophylla (Klotzsch ex Benth. in DC. Prodr. vit. 
669) ; procumbent or sometimes suberect ?; branches stout, ngid, 
villous; leaves 3-nate, spreading, crowded, ovate, acute, open- 
backed, margins revolute, bullate-convex, and densely villous with 
long hairs on the upper surface, closely pale tomentose below, 
21-31 lin. long including the rather long petiole ; flowers terminal, 
clustered or sometimes (ace. to Bentham) also axillary; pedicels 
stoutish, 1—1 lin. long; bracts remote, 2 very small, 1 larger; sepals 
oblong, in opposite pairs, 2 longer and 2 shorter, or ovate-lanceolate, 
obtuse, viscid, coloured, about > lin. long; corolla ovoid-urceolate, 
mouth contracted, viscid, minutely puberulous or glabrous, 23~3 lin. 
long ; segments suberect, 11 as long as the tube; anthers sub- 
exserted, sublateral, broad-linear, about 2 lin. long, muticous; pore 
about 2 as long as the cell; style exserted, decurved; stigma capi- 
tate; ovary densely and closely white-woolly.

A distinct species, not found by any recent collector. We have chiefly 
described from Burcheli’s 7330! ; 
207. E. ocellata (Guthrie & Bolus) ; erect ; branches of medium 
thickness, not slender, nor diffase, pilose ; leaves 3-nate, spreading, 
the older distant, the younger imbricate, ovate or lanceolate, open- 
backed, margins recurved or revolute, rough and ciliate with tubercle- 
based hairs, upper surface somewhat concave, glabrous, shining, 
nd pale below, from »—4 lin. long, 1-2 lin. wide; 
closely tomentose a : : 
flowers capitate; heads 6-10-flowered ; pedicels stoutish, under 
1 lin. long; bracts remote to subapproximate, small, glandular- 
pilose ; sepals lanceolate or oblong, viscid, pale, very inconspicuous, 
1-2 lin. long; corolla urceolate, mouth contracted, glabrous, viscid, 
12 lin. long, 1} lin. wide, limb and generally also a small portion of 
the upper part of the tube recurved or revolute; segments about 
1 as long as the tube, broad, shortly subacute ; filaments broadish, 
slightly dilated below the anther; anthers subexserted, sublateral, 
basifixed at the dorsal side, or Jateral and dorsifixed near the base, 
g somewhat to the apex, about } lin. long, muticous ; 
oblong, taperin 
pore a 1s long as the cell; style exserted, at length decurved ; 
stigma clavate-capitate; ovary loosely white-woolly.

The anthers do not seem quite constant, some being distinctly lateral, others 
affixed at the very base of the cell, though dorsal,
