 E. coriacea, obloug to oblong-lanceolate, glabrous. 

 E. de Beuzevillei, oblong-lanceolate to cordate ; raohis slightly glandular. 

 E. stellulata. broadly elliptical, glabrous. 



(6) Intermediate Leaves. 



E. coriacea. leaves oblong to oblong-lanceolate, rigid, thick, more or less 

 prominently veined, usually terminating in a strong muoro glaucous, sbading to 

 yellowish-green, 8 cm. long, 3 cm. broad, very skortly petiolate; stem terete, purple-

 two lower veins almost reaching to the apex ; the intramarginal vein somewhat distant 

 from the edge. At 34 inches, 7 cm. long, 4-5 cm. broad, midrib yellowish, the same
