equal in length to the sepals; sepals like the bracts, but narrow- 
linear or subulate, 23-3 lin. long; corolla narrow-urceolate, puberu- 
lous, white or pale rose, 2-23 lin. long; segments spreading, short ; 
filaments slender, 13-2 times longer than the anthers; anthers 
included, cuneate or cuneate-oblong, subacute, glabrous, from a little 
under to a little over } lin. long; cells deeply parted, crested ; 
pore about 2the length of the cell; crests varying from narrow- 
lanceolate, acuminate, serrulate or more usually suborbicular, incised, 
with one longer terminal subulate lobe, the whole 2—% the length of 
the cell; style included, short, straight; stigma capitellate, small; 
ovary turbinate, truncate, hirsute. 
Var. 8, Missionis (Bolus); habit usually more erect ; branches straighter ; 
leaves more erect, often adpressed, usually linear, sulcate, 1-1} lin. long ; anthers 
as in the type or sometimes (as in Tyson’s 1252) subtriangular, about 4 lin. 
long; pore smaller; crest proportionately larger and a little longer than the

Allied to E. Baurii, but a stronger, more woody plant, with larger and 
differently shaped corolla. Our var. B differs chiefly in aspect, the floral 
characters being almost identical. The anther varies unusually, both in size 
and shape.
