Raised from Wilson’s seed, this species must be included 
in the Plantae Wilsonianae under the name E. deflexus. The 
character drawn from the flower bud readily distinguishes the 
plant from the Himalayan species.

suffusi, ad foliorum insertionem paucipilosi, aliter glabri, angu-

plerumque oblanceolata vel obovato-oblanceolata vel rarius 
fere obovata, apice acuminata, summo apice costa excurrente
