A very distinct species unlike any other in floral character, or in aspect, with 
the single exception of E. flavisepala. Bentham in DC. Prodr. vii. 649, 
quotes Hy, celsiana, Lodd. Bot. Cab. t. 1777, as a variety of this, with a larger 
rosy corolla-tube and darker limb, and with narrower, paler bracts and sepals. 
He thought it perhaps a garden hybrid, and we have seen no specimens like it. 
It is more unlike E. flavisepala in both aspects and structure, 
468. E. Corydalis (Salisb. in Trans. Linn, Soe. vi. 334) ; erect, 
8-10 in. high; branches ascending, subvirgate or sometimes spread- 
ing, puberulous ; leaves recurved or squarrose, crowded or somewhat 
lax, lanceolate to oblong, acute, flat or subconeave above, sulcate 
below, thick, glabrous, glossy, 14-21 lin. long; flowers somewhat — 
scanty along the branches, either (in well-grown specimens) on short 
branchlets bearing only a few bract-like leaves, or (by arrest of the 
branchlets) pseudo-lateral, corolline; pedicels rather stout, puberu- 
lous, subviscid, 1-2 lin. long; braets approximate, ovate, viscid, 
3% lin. long; sepals broad-ovate or obovate, acute, keel-tipped, 
leathery, viseid, coloured, 1-11 lin, long; corolla subrotate ; tube 
short hemispherical, about 1 lin. long; segments suddenly and 
widely spreading, very broad and obtuse, about 11-12 lin. long, the 
whole dry, white, 2-23 lin. long, when flattened out; anthers 
manifest, very broad-oblong or subquadrate, with a dorsal and apical 
ridge or entire crest, membranous at the apex, sometimes expanded — 
into a wing-like process on either side, thickened downwards into 
awns or muticous; cells separate, papillose-scabrid, 3 lin. long, 
aristate or subcristate ; pore less than 4 the length of the cell; awns 
or crests (when present) subulate, thick, entire or sometimes broader 
and dentate, acute, about. 4 the length of the cell; style exserted
