inch long, ovoid-oblong-, crowned by the calyx-lobes, E. clavijlora.

in. long, crowned by the cup-shaped truncate calyx-limb, E. leptantha. 



X X Flowers in more or less corymb-like axillary and terminal panicles. 

 Calyx more or less obconical. 

 + Calyx at base pedicel-like contracted. 

 Calyx smooth ; leaves somewhat glaucous and rather opaque beneath ; berries black,

X X Leaves usually glossy, often drying blackish or brownish, the 

 lateral nerves all thin and vein-like, more or less crowdedly parallel- 

 running. 



+ Calyx narrowed into a longer or shorter pedicel-like base. 

 t Inflorescence lateral from the older branchlets.
