Branches somewhat slender, elongate, often rooting, divided, glabrous, not com- 

 pressed. Leaves 2^ by 1 in., sometimes smaller, shortly acuminate, base cuneate, 

 coriaceous ; petiole in. Pedicels 7 ' 5 - in., terminal, and on lateral spurs, glabrous or

 seeds are altogether different ; in the absence of seeds, 2E. micrantha may generally 

 be recognized by the creeping rooting branches and smaller leaves.
