This species is somewhat variable in the length, though little in the width, of 
the corolla, and also in the shape of the anthers. It may generally be dis- 
tinguished, when in the living state, from all others of this section, except E. 
Jlavicoma, by its yellow corolla. From the latter it may be known by its quite 
different leaves and sepals, as well as by its anthers; the corolla only, both in 
shape and colour, is very similar. We have not seen any authentic specimen 
of Bentham’s var. parviflora ; our specimens above cited agree with his short 
description.
