 This is very near E. micrantha A. DC, but differs from it by 

 the leaves which are much narrower at the base, denser cymes, 

 and terete and fusiformed follicles. This is also near E. napeensis 

 Pierre, which is known as a rubber plant, but differs from it in 

 having shorter corolla-lobes.

The following species have been kindly examined by J\Ir. N. 

 E. Beoavn, assistant keeper of the Herbarium at Kew. He has 

 found several new species in my collections. As he is very much 

 occupied with colonial floras which at present monopolize nearly 

 all the staff of the Herbarium, he has urged me to describe the 

 new species in the present paper.
