6. E. arguta, R. Br. Frod. 437. An erect branching annual oH ^'^ 

 \\ ft., pubescent like E. scahra, but not usually so scabrous. Leaves oblong- 

 Imiceolate, usually deeply toothed, the lower ones like those of E. scabra the 

 upper ones with more acute often numerous teeth or lobes, and the Horalcnes 

 usuallv but not always with long subulate points to the lobes. Flowers in 

 long spikes at length interrupted, very near those of E. scabra, but the co- 

 rolla, with a bluish tint when dry, is described (by R. Brown and A. ^^m-^ 

 ningham) as white with a yellowish throat, and the throat is rather broacici 

 and the lobes rather larger than in E. scahra, though less so than in E. coUma, 

 the lobes entire as in E. scahra.

This species is certainly very closely allied to E. scahra, although the specimens I^ w^ 

 when describing for the ' Prodromus,' and upon which I united the two species, havep 

 not to have been correctly identified with Brown's plant.
