In giving this marked species what is believed to be its first deserip- 
tion the author has duly considered the possibility of retaining the 
name E. trichotomum long ago applied to the plant by Schultz-Bi- 
pontinus. However, Schultz working in his usual rapid manner not 
only failed to give any diagnosis of this E. trichotomum but soon 
employed in manuscript the same binomial for a wholly different 
plant. E. trichotomum Sch. Bip. in the latter sense has seen _ and 
received a certain amount of definition in Mart. Fl. Bras. vi. pt. 2, 
305 (1876) where established by Baker as a variety of E. Vauthierianum
