Rather attractive, highly variable species. Several formal varia- 
tions, which have passed in different regions under many names, are 
summarized (briefly and by no means clearly) by Kuntze, |. ¢. In 
Colombia the plant appears to be exclusively of the typical smooth 
variety, but it exhibits strikingly different leaf-forms, namely 1) with 
rather narrowly oblong leaves, cuneate at base; 2) a broader-leaved 
form or state (corresponding to E. loniceroides HBK.) in which the 
leaves are widely oblong to ovate, abruptly contracted or rounded at 
base; and 3) an extreme of the preceding tendency with leaves nearly 
orbicular. The last is illustrated by André’s no. 881, said to have 
whitish florets. These forms, while striking in their extremes, have 
little classificatory value, leaves of different shapes occurring on shoots 
from the same root. 
51. E. fuliginosum HBK. Slightly woody rusty-tomentose 
climber; leaves opposite, lance-oblong, rather distantly denticulate, 
acuminate, cuneate at base, 15 cm. or more long, about a =

pinnate, prominent, the veinlets reticulated; petiole 2.5 cm. long; 
panicle long-peduncled, divaricately branched, rusty-tomentose, 
heads about 25-flowered, sessile or shortly pedicelled, crowded; 
involucre hemispherical; scales oblong, obtuse, dorsally pubescent, 
ciliate, about 3-ranked; florets supposed to be white; achenes dark,
