Langbian Peaks, 6,000 ft. 



Apparently a shrub with slender, leafy, brown branches. 

 Leaves with the blade 5-7 x 3-4 cm., but sometimes smaller or larger, 

 green or grey-green above and at first covered with small scales 

 which soon disappear, closely scurfy below ; petioles usually about 

 1 cm. in length, closely scurfy. Pedicels slender, up to 12 mm. in 

 length, though often shorter. Perianth with the adherent portion at 

 first only 2 x 1.5 mm., but rapidly enlarging to 10 x 5 mm.; free 

 portion (including the 4 x 3 mm. lobes) 12 mm. long, 3 mm. wide 

 at the base, anl 6.5 mm. under the limb; the lobes with fewer silvery 

 scales on their inner than upon their outer face. Filaments 2 mm. 

 long; anthers broadly oblong, obtuse at either end, 1.5mm. long 

 Style shortly exserted, 11 mm. long. Fruit apparently not yet quite 

 ripe, 15 x 7 mm. 



In foliage this agrees with the widely diffused E. latifolia L; 

 the longer slender pedicels and the size and the shape of the perianth, 

 both tube and limb, are, points of difference.
