Closely allied, perhaps too closely, to E. cristeflora. It differs by the larger 
flowers, larger, more acuminate and more shaggy anthers, and also somewhat in 
habit; the flowers being fewer, less clustered, more cernuous, the branches 
fewer, the leaves longer and paler. The flowers are fragrant as noted by 
Andrews, and also by Marloth, who likens their odour to that of Disa 
graminifolia, Ker-Gawl. 
457. E. lavandulefolia (Salisb. in Trans. Linn. Soc. vi. 332) ; 
subarboreous, 3-8 ft. high; branches subvirgate, pubescent, with 
many floriferous branchlets, forming towards the top of the branches 
a somewhat thyrsoid inflorescence; leaves erect, mostly ineurved, 
linear, acute, round-backed, sulcate, glabrous, 2-31 lin. long; flowers 
subcorolline ; pedicels decurved, slender, white-pubescent, 1-12 lin. 
long ; bracts approximate, imbricating the sepals, or rarely the lowest 
remote, lanceolate, acute, keeled, ciliate, scarious, glabrous, whitish 
or pale rose, } lin. long; sepals like the bracts but ovate, very 
concave, about 1; lin. long, reaching to about 1 the height of the 
corolla ; corolla nearly broad-obconic, or very slightly funnel-shaped, 
rosy, 1{-2 lin. long; segments continuous with the widening tube, 
ovate or oblong, about 3 the length of the tube; filaments lanceo- 
late at the base tapering upwards; anthers included or sometimes 
subexserted, longitudinally semiovate, the dorsal margin curved, the 
inner nearly straight, acute, the cell. extending beyond the pore for 
about > the length of the latter, rough but not very hairy, about 
¢ lin. long, muticous; pore narrow, about 3 the length of the cell; 
style slender, well-exserted ; stigma capitellate, small; ovary small, 
minutely puberulous. Benth. in DC. Prodr. vii. 684. E. monti-

458. E. Gillii (Benth. in DC. Prodr. vii. 684); ‘habit of Z.

distantly subplumose greyish hairs; leaves subrecurved, spreading, 
imbricate and crowded (on the ultimate branchlets), linear-trigonous, 
obtuse, sulcate, glabrous, pallid, 13 lin. (or probably more) long; 
pedicels floecose, 2 lin. long; flowers ecalycine; bracts subremote,
