E. coralloides, Linn., which has the umbel five-cleft, the bracteas 
ovate oblong. hairy, leaves lanceolate, minutely serrated, woolly, 
involucre glands transversely oval, the capsules nearly smooth and 
woolly, seeds obovate, minutely punctate, and with faint reticulate 
bands. The stem attains the height of three feet, and is usually 
naked below the umbel, is five-cleft, its branches three and two-cleft, 
and is more or less hairy. It has been found at Slinfold, Sussex, but 
supposed to have been introduced by the late Mr. Manningham. It 
is figured in English Botany, Suppl. t 2837, but is scarcely deserving 
a place in our list of native plants.
