Described from specimens which may not, perhaps, be completely 
developed ; the limb of the corolla may therefore become more spreading 
and the anthers more exserted. In any case the species is certainly 
distinct. Its affinities are with E. modesta, Salisb., and it should be 
placed between that and E. oresigena mihi.

A well-marked species most nearly allied to E. salax, Salisb., next 
before which it may be placed. The corolla is of almost exactly the same 
shape but larger, while the limb-segments are proportionately shorter ; 
the leaves also are different. The most important difference is the 
remarkable and apparently constant absence of bracts, a very rare 
character in the genus. In this respect, as well as by its muticous 
anthers, it differs also from the somewhat similar E. leucopelta, Tausch.
