A species with the habit of E. guapulense Klatt, to which it is very 
close in many of its characters. In that species, however, the stem 
is described as notably tetragonal, the leaves are more distinctly. 
cordate at base and are 3-nerved from the very base instead of being 
provided with two pairs of pinnately disposed nerves before the 
palmate divergence of the three principle nerves which occurs no less 
than 1.5-2 em. above the actual base of the leaf. If one may judge 
from description as well as from ‘an excellent photograph of the type 
of E. guapulense in the Gray Herbarium, the leaves in that species 
are somewhat thicker and are covered with more copious pubescence.
