This belongs to a very small group of species with fleshy 

 terete leaves, one or few flowered inllorescences and rather large 

 woolly tlowers. The one, viz. E. pannca Lndl., is readily recognized 

 by its short few leaved stems not swollen into a pseudobulb. 

 Hooker. f., though hesitatingly, united ^vith it (FI. Br. Ind. V, 

 804) E. teretifolia Gritt'. which, however, is a quite différent 

 plant with one leaved pseudohulbs.
