shorter than the internodes on the slender flowering branches, or 
sometimes imbricate, linear-elliptic, subacute, sulcate, thickish, 
glabrous, 1-1} lin. long; flowers 3-nate or umbellate (4—8-flowered), 
corolline; pedicels decurved, slender, glabrous, 11-4 lin. long; 
bracts subapproximate to subremote, linear, small, coloured; sepals 
narrow-lanceolate, acute, glabrous, ciliate or naked, mostly deep red, 
4-1 lin. long; corolla urceolate or obovoid-urceolate, constricted at 
the throat, red, 1}—2 lin. long ; segments spreading, rounded, 1—1 
the length of the tube; filaments slender, mostly ciliate, with short 
or long hairs, about 1 lin. long; anthers oblong or cuneate-oblong, 
obtuse, smooth, pale brown, bearded at the base or naked, 1—2 lin. 
long, crested at the base; pore 1—2 the length of the cell; crests 
ovate to lanceolate, acuminate, variously incised, from 2 as long to 
nearly as long as the cell; style mostly included, sometimes just 
manifest ; stigma subsimple or eclavellate, small; ovary subturbinate,

This species has been confused with E. leptopus, Benth., but the corolla is 
quite different in shape, The anther, as also the filament, is much more 
copiously bearded in Ecklon & Zeyher’s specimens than in Schlechter’s ; but 
of these latter only his 10223 appears to have a few fully developed flowers, and 
those showing them clearly as described, 
265. E. campanulata (Andr. Col. Heaths, t. 9); erect, slender, 
somewhat variable in habit and appearance, from 6 to probably 
24 in. in height; branches numerous, erect or spreading, or when 
young and grown in damp places subsimple, virgate, and very 
slender with fewer and smaller flowers, glabrous, reddish ; leaves 
commonly 3-nate, rarely 4-nate or opposite on the same plant, 
erect or subspreading, narrow-linear, acute, keeled, glabrous, 11—22 
lin. long; flowers generally solitary, corolline ; pedicels puberulous, 
1-1; lin. long ; bracts remote or subremote, rarely subapproximate ; 
sepals from ovate and acute to lanceolate and long-acuminate, 
scarious, glabrous, margins mostly naked, rarely ciliate, eoloured, 
13-1} lin. long; corolla very variable in size and shape, tubular- 
eampanulate, cyathiform, broad-cyathiform or suburceolate, bright 
yellow, more rarely cream-colour, 21-31 lin. long; segments erect, 
more rarely spreading, 1-1 the length of the tube; filaments 
nearly straight, about } lin. long ; anthers oblong-cuneate, obtuse, 
scaberulous, 3—} lin. long, most generally muticous (said to be 
“sometimes minutely toothed at base”); pore about 1 the length 
of the cell; style included, sometimes compressed ; stigma capitel- 
late, small; ovary glabrous. Andr. Heathery, t. 55 ; Wendl. Eric.
