Very distinct in the section by its peculiar leaves. Our description is from 
Bowie’s and Mund’s specimens in Herb. Kew., which agree well. Bentham 
quotes with a sign of doubt, E. Pohlmanni, Lodd. Bot. Cab. t. 1852; but this 
seems to us quite different, and is a plant unknown to us. The present species 
is apparently rare and has not been gathered by any recent collector. 
445. E. calycina (Linn. Sp. Pl. ed. 2, 507, not of some others) ; 
generally stout, erect, rigid, 11-2 ft. high, with numerous, ascending, 
subvirgate, rarely white-pubescent branches; leaves suberect and 
imbricate, or sometimes spreading, or squarrose-recurved, crowded, 
linear or narrow-lanceolate, subtrigonous, acute or subobtuse, suleate, 
glabrous, ciliolate or naked, mostly 11-2 lin. long; flowers often 
crowded on short branchlets, more rarely seanty, calycine or subcaly- 
cine; pedicels mostly densely white-tomentose, more or less with 
plumose hairs intermixed with simple (occurring sometimes on 
the branches), spreading, 13-21 lin. long; bracts subremote (or 
the lowest remote) to subapproximate, lax or more rarely imbricating 
the sepals, ovate or oblong, coloured, scarious or cartilaginous, about 
1 lin, long ; sepals ovate to orbicular or subrhomboidal, imbricate for 
a greater or less distance from the base upwards, scarious or carti- 
laginous, keeled or keel-tipped, white, ciliate or naked, 1-12 lin. 
long, or mostly from 2—% the length of the corolla (rarely 4 only) ; 
corolla obconie-cyathiform, white, 1}-2 (rarely 23) lin. long; 
segments in full flower spreading or reeurved, but very soon becom- 
ing erect, oblong or ovate, obtuse or subacute, from equal to the 
tube to a little shorter than it; anthers included, but manifest, 
terminal or subterminal; cells partite to the base, oblong or semi- 
lanceolate, acute or obtuse, scaberulous, 2-1 lin. Jong, cristate ; 
pore }-3 the length of the cell; crests free, coarsely toothed or 
incised or crested-aristate ; awns free, short, subulate, ciliate or 
hairy ; style stout, straight, shortly exserted; stigma simple 
or clavate; ovary pallid, glabrous or hispidulous at the apex.
