 paucae exteriores breviores 2,5 — 3 X 1 mm, intermediae numerosae 4,5—5 V i,a 

 mm, intimae angustiores glaberrimae. Flores radii omnes $ ligulati albi glaber- 

 rimi, tubo circ. 2 mm longo, ligula angusta suberecta apice indistincte lobulata 

 circ. 3 mm longa; flores disci $ corolla 3 — 3,5 mm longa lutea. Achaenia 

 ovata compressa subglabra, 1,5 mm longa et 0,6 — 0,7 mm lata. Pappus circ. 

 2,5 mm longus. 



Masafuera: In the alpine region; edge of western precipice, above Buque 

 Varado, c. 1200 m (fl.-fr. 7 ja 17, no. 558); C. Atravesado, c. 1350 m (fl 15 /2 17, 

 no. 500). No. 558 differs from the type (no. 500) in the broader, more coarsely 

 serrate leaves. 



Near E. fruticosus, but undoubtedly quite distinct. The light colour and 

 the thick leaves characterize the new species; E. fruticosus is pure green, much 

 more villous, and has much thinner leaves, generally also a distinct trunk, which 

 attains the height of a few feet. 



Area of distribution: Endemic in Masafuera.
