[Although the Intermediate Leaves of this species have been worked out, as given 

 below, the corresponding drawings have not been reproduced, in view of the close 

 parallelism of the series with those of E. capitellata.] 



a. The earliest shoots or suckers. All on the same twig. 



1. Opposite, almost sessile, ovate, acute, margin crenulate, hispid, lower 



surface paler than the upper surface, minutely stellate-hispid ; 4 cm.

B. Another shoot or sucker. 



5. Alternate, narrow lanceolate, acute, dark green above, pale beneath, 



not stellate, 5 by 2\ cm.
