This species is easily recognized from all others in this section by its reflexed 
sepals, These specimens, which we have carefully examined, appear to show 
a gradation of difference in almost every organ, which renders even a distinction 
of varieties with constant characters, apparently impossible. 
238. E. aspalathifolia (Bolus in Journ. Linn. Soc, xxiv. 182) ; 
diffuse, sometimes weak-growing, with a few long subsimple erect or 
subdecurrent branches, 12-18 in. long, and a few short branchlets 
above, more or less setulose in all parts ; leaves 3—4-nate or scattered,

flowers simply terminal; pedicels puberulous, 4-1 lin. long; bracts 
subapproximate, foliaceous, 1 lin. long; sepals linear, acute, folia-
