This species is exactly intermediate between E. lirata and E. Gunniatw, and will. I 
belong to but one species. However widely dissimilar many of the forms of these thi 
and inflorescence, the flowers are the same in all. I have examined an authentic specimen of Labi 
,/,.'.■ u U it, and it is less well marked from lirata and Chami 
of E.fuMda, the leaves being shorter, more oblong and less toothed, br: 
deeply toothed leaves, which are scaberulous on the upper surtao
