Closely allied to E. pseudo-capense C. Muller, but more rol)ust, mnch longer, more branohed 

 and more dusky; differs also by the more patent and somewhat longer leaves of the branches. 



This species is very common on the west side of the mountains in the deep riverbeds, espe- 

 cially from a height of 300 — 1000 m., and is likely to occur still higher. It is also found in the 

 forest, for instance near Bonge factory, a little above the level of the sea, and on the R.nmpi 

 Mountain at a height of 1100 m.
