E. cahphylla. Leaves opposite in the young plant, covered on both surfaces 

 and at the margin, but especially on the petioles and midrib beneath, with various- 

 sized crystalline, glandular processes, rather closely and ascendingly penninerved and 

 reticulate : petioles dilated and slightly flattened on the upper side at the base, other- 

 wise nearly terete and tapering upwards. First pair broadly cordate, obtuse, tipped

 mucro, alternate. (Lubbock.)

 hairs, tinged with red below, pinnatinerved. The leaves in many specimens are alternate, 

 not opposite, the internodes between the pairs of leaves at first being very short, but 

 increasing in length after the second pair. (Lubbock.)
