The Siberian E. aqitatica is closely allied to this species, being distinguished 



from it solely by its obovate leaves with a cartilaginous border, erect calycine 



teeth, and by the lobes of the corolla being pointless. They both agree in 



having the capsule elevated on a long stalk.

Well distinguished from the preceding group by the fringed throat of its 

 corolla. This fringe, composed of a series of narrow linear segments, is not to 

 be confounded with the accessory lobes, but is clearly of the same nature with 

 the fringed glands found at the base of the petals of Swertia and Agathotes.
