163. E. Parmmattensis C. Hall. 



Add to Part XXXII, p. 37 : Sessile or shortly petiolate, thin, equally green on 

 both sides. 



156. E. pdlita F.v.M. 



With a short petiole, thin, pale in the underside, darker green above, ovate 

 or broadly lanceolate, rather large (the specimen figured at fig. 2a, Plate 127, being about 

 14 cm. long by 9 cm., when freshly collected), the intramarginal vein distinctly but 

 not far removed from the edge, the secondary veins looped to spreading, and at an angle 

 of about 45-55 degrees with the midrib. See fig. 2a, Plate 127. 



243. E. perfdiata R. Br. 



Perfoliate, probably very large; I have a pair of leaves over 30 cm. long, the 

 individual leaves 12 cm. broad. The fusion is perfect at the bases of the leaves, except 

 for a little undulation in some cases. Very thick, pale-green on both sides, only a trace 

 of glaucousness, if any. Each leaf ovate, the venation not distinct; intramarginal 

 vein not far removed from the edge, and the fine secondary veins parallel, and at 

 about an angle of 55 to 65 degrees with the midrib. See fig. la, Plate 180. 



138. E. Perriniana F.v.M. 



Glaucous, in its earliest stage perfoliate, length of a perfoliate pair 13 cm., breadth 

 of a single leaf, 9 cm. They pucker or are undulate more or less, as is the case with most 

 perfoliate leaves. Moderately thick, each leaf tending to be orbiculate, the secondary 

 venation spreading to reticulate, and at about 45 to 55 degrees from the midrib, the 

 intramarginal vein distant from the edge. See fig. 1, Plate 108. 



1. E. pilularis Sm. 



Sessile, sometimes slightly auriculate, pale on the underside, thin, narrow to 

 broad-lanceolate or ovate. See fig. 1, Plate 2. 



Those of var. pyriformis Maiden are more distinctly auriculate. See fig. la, 

 Plate 206, and compare them with those of E. Simmondsii Maiden, figs. 3a, 3b, 3c, 

 Plate 232. 



32. E. piperita Sm. 

 Shortly petiolate, pale on the underside, thin, broadly lanceolate to nearly 

 orbicular. See figs. 2 and 8a, Plate 45.
