392. E. chlorosepala (Benth. in DC. Prodr. vii. 649) ; prostrate 
(Burchell), or decumbent (Masson § Schlechter) ; branches straggling, 
slender, rigid, pallid or yellowish, minutely downy, channelled 
between the leaf-cushions, and the older covered with their persistent 
scars, 4 in. or more long; leaves 3-nate, erect, imbricate, elliptic-

shrinking and wrinkled in drying, sulcate, glabrous, the stout pallid 
petiole ciliate, 23-3 lin. long; flowers subaxillary, solitary, the 
pedicels subtended at the base by several pallid bract-like aborted 
leaves, forming a short pseudo-raceme below the ends of excurrent 
branches, calycine; pedicels curved, tomentulose, 11—2 lin. long; 
bracts subapproximate, like the sepals but smaller, 1} lin. long ; 
sepals oblong-lanceolate, acute, keeled in the upper half, cartilaginous, 
rigid, coneave, pale-margined, white or yellowish (or acc. to Bentham, 
subfoliaceous, greenish), nearly 21 lin. long, reaching to a little below 
the top of the corolla-tube ; corolla ovoid-urceolate, well-contracted

A very distinct species, somewhat anomalous by its inflorescence in this or any 
of our sections. It was placed by Bentham in § Platyspora, but is unlike 
that by its calycine flowers. Bentham had not seen mature seeds, nor have 
we. 
393. E. levigata (Bart]. in Linnea, vii. 638); entirely glabrous, 
or the pedicels minutely hairy; branches ascending, slender, 
sometimes very numerous and filiform; leaves 3-nate, erect, sub- 
adpressed, imbricate, or only a little longer than the internodes, 
linear or narrow-lanceolate, acute, mucronate, very smooth, often 
with a narrow pellucid margin and apex, 11-21 lin. long; flowers
