In habit and general appearance this species agrees with 
my E. pungens, from which it is principally distinguished by 
its nearly sessile leaves, and obtuse, not acuminated, invo- 
lucral scales ; notwithstanding the pungent scales of E. pun- 
gens, it should perhaps be referred to the imbricated rather 
than the subimbricated series, and range along = the 
present species.
