This is E. senense, Lindau, but has no gland-tipped hairs. The hairs are 

 of several cells, often alternately broad and narrow, empty or filled with brown oil. 

 Except for these hairs, and the considerably smaller corolla, the plant might be 

 united with JS. suhviscosum. 



10. E. (?) ardisioides, C. B. Clarke. Branches terete, rather stout, 

 glabrous. Leaves up to 11 by 3 in., elongate-obovate, when mature 

 glabrous ; cystoliths obscure ; petiole |- in. long. Panicles 2-3 by 

 J in., dense upwards, nearly glabrous. Calyx ^ in. long, minutely 

 pubescent. Corolla (not expanded but) tube short for the genus. 

 Stamens 2, with rudiments of filaments of posticous stamens ; anthers 

 oblong, parallel, muticous, with stalked glands on connective and on 

 the upper part of the filament ; pollen eUipsoid, narrowed at liotli 

 ends, acutely triangular, the 3 bands not reaching the pole ; pistil and 

 capsule (half-ripe) of the genus.
