It is possible that this species, highly variable in its leaf-form, fe 
ultimately be found to merge with E. fastigiatum HBK., but that 
said to have heads about 12-flowered and its leaves, although i 
ing closely the pinnate venation and reticulation of E. meee 
differ in being oblanceolate, bluntly mucronate at the apex ‘cat 
rowly cuneate at base. Much more ample material of eee ‘a 
essential before they can be classified with — oe ae 
present fragmentary representation they can neither be redu differ, 
certainty nor maintained with much satisfaction. But, as they ge 
it seems best to keep them up until evidence of intergradation — 
available.
