capitate, sep. ovate-lanceolate glabrous, anth. awned, ovary gla- 
brous.—E. B. S. 2900.—St. irregularly branched throughout,

as the coloured calyx, anth. without awns opening throughout 
nearly their whole length—E. B. 8. 2774.—St. 2—5 feet high,

its 1. having a longitudinal furrow and not keel on the back, 
the decurrent ridge from their base not extending beyond the 
next whorl (in E. carnea it reaches the second), the anthers much 
shorter and their pores much longer in proportion, and the cor.
