E. Woodioardi Maiden ; on the other hand, further knowledge and material may 

 show that the two plants are conspecific. In p. 21-1, Part XVI, of this work, I have 

 compared E. Woodioardi with E. incrassata Lahill., var. angulosa Benth., the variety 

 which appears to be closest to the present form. 



2. With E. Woodioardi Maiden. 



See p. 214 and Plate 72, Part XVI of the present work. The differences 

 between the species seem to be as follows, so far as existing material renders a 

 comparison safe. 



E. ccesia Benth. Small leaf, Z\ inches long ; long, thin peduncle, about 

 1^ inches; long pedicel to fruit; fruit large and inclined to be urceolate. 



E. Woodioardi Maiden. Large leaf, C inches long ; peduncle thick, f inch 

 and less in length ; short pedicel to fruit, which is blackish in colour; fruit much 

 smaller than that of E ccesia and widening at the top ; very glaucous, coarse 

 twigs. The filaments of E. Woodioardi are orange-coloured ; those of E. ccesia are 

 unknown. 



I have compared these two species loc. ciL, p. 214, using different words, and 

 if ampler material be available the relations of E. ccesia can be re-examined.
