Dried specimens of this are not easily distinguished from the preceding. In 
the living state it is at once known by its habit and green flowers. The pedicels 
in this are longer; the corolla larger, with no tendency towards a globular 
shape. It is noteworthy that while this species has a flowering season from 
September to March, and a zone of growth in altitude of from 600 to 2300 ft., 
E. physodes flowers from June to Sept., and has a zone of from 2300- 
2800 ft. So far as is known to us the two species do not: grow on the same 
mountain,
