1. E. totta (D. Don in Edinb. New Phil. Journ. xvii. 156, and 
Gen. Syst. iii. 828); a bush, 2-4 ft. high; branches stout, hairy 
with rather long spreading hairs or shortly subhispid ; leaves 3-nate, 
spreading or reflexed, 1-3 lin. long with the petiole, usually curved, 
angular, or ridged and glabrous on the upper side, varying from 
with long white spreading hairs to subechinate on the back ; flowers 
in compound clusters at the ends of short lateral branches, usually 
composed of 2 to several clusters of 2-3 flowers on minute axillary 
branchlets ; pedicels 1-1 lin. long; bracts 3, adpressed to the 
ealyx, 2~1 lin. long and broad, elliptic-ovate, subacute, glabrous or 
puberulous, serrulate-ciliate, white; calyx equally 4-partite; seg- 
ments 1-11 lin. long, 2-1 lin. broad, elliptie-oblong, obtuse, white, 
glabrous or puberulous, serrulate-ciliate, the cilia often gland-tipped 
and minutely hispid ; corolla 14-13 lin. long, with the greater part 
included, ureeolate, 4-angled, narrowed from the much inflated base, 
but scarcely or not at all constricted below the erect rounded lobes, 
glabrous or occasionally very minutely puberulous, white; stamens 
about as long as the corolla-tube ; filaments filiform, glabrous ; 
anthers + lin, long, oblong, with contiguous parallel cells, spurless, 
smooth ; ovary rather broadly and obtusely conical, 4-angled, 4-celled, 
thinly or densely covered with long and very fine woolly hairs at the 
top; style included or shortly exserted, filiform, glabrous ; stigma 
simple, scarcely or but slightly enlarged. Klotzsch in Linnea, xii.

Rach, at the place quoted, refers one of the specimens on sheet a and the 
single specimen on sheet 8 of Thunberg’s Herbarium to E. bartlingiana. I have 
examined these specimens and find that the ovary of the specimen on sheet B has 
a few long woolly hairs upon it and is not quite glabrous, whilst both specimens 
on sheet a have densely woolly ovaries. I cannot distinguish them varietally, as 
other specimens show various degrees of woolliness; nor can I find any such 
difference as is described by Klotzsch and Bentham in the corollas of the woolly 
and glabrous forms. 
2. E. recurvata (Klotzsch in Linnma, xii. 498); a shrublet, {1 
ft. high, somewhat loosely branched and apparently rather straggling
