70 A GARDEN FLORA 
EMBOTHRIUM. Proteaceae. 
*E. coccineum. Fire Bush. Chile. 
Height 12 feet. With us this tree grows between 
a belt of fir trees and a north wall, so that its roots 
and stem are in almost perpetual shade and largely 
protected from wind and frost. Since 1913 it has 
flowered early each summer on the 4 feet of it 
which rise above the top of the wall. The fruit 
has also ripened, and we have some promising 
seedlings from the plant. I think this is the first 
time Embothrium coccineum flowered in Sussex. 
ENKLANTHUS. Ericaceae. 
E. campanulatus. Japan. 
E. cemuus, var. rubens. Japan. 
E. japonicus. Japan. 
This little shrub is valuable as growing in a semi- 
shaded position, facing east, and exposed to the 
coldest winds. It provides, perhaps, the most 
vivid autumn colouring in the garden. 
EPACRIS. Epacrideae. 
■[Garden varieties. 
EPHEDRA. Shrubby Horse-tail. Gnetaceae. 
*E. altissima. N. Africa. 
Not beautiful, but interesting as being allied to 
the Conifer*. Here it has grown up a pole for 
three years, surviving the rather mild winters. 
*E. distachya. S. and E. Europe. 
*E. nebrodensis procera. Mediterranean region, N. Africa 
and Canaries. 
EPILOBIUM. Willow Herb. Onagraceae. 
E. angustifolium. Rose Bay. N. Hemisphere. 
EPIMEDIUM. Barren-wort. Berberidaceae. 
E. sp. 
ERANTHEMUM. See D2EDALACANTHUS.
