Very closely allied indeed to if. densiflora, and perhaps better considered as tlio 

 ■Ceylon form of that plant, but the leaves are more strictly lanceolate, the cymes alwa3's 

 from the axils of fully formed leaves, and the berry is not globose but evidently, 

 though slightly, elongated ; the flowers are quite glabrous, except at the throat of the 

 corolla, which is le.ss villous than in E. densiflora.
