Erythrodes Weberi is a near ally of E. Wenzelii, from which 



it differs chiefly in the smaller flowers. The sac is not so deeply 



bilobed as in E. Wenzelii, but too much reliance cannot be placed 



on this character, as flowers from the same raceme are likely 



to show wide differences in the apex of the sac.
