“This name is proposed for all those species which, to a fleshy some- 
what shapeless stem with few thin leaves, add a many -flowered inflores- 
cence that is smooth or nearly so. Possibly it might be subdivided into 
those with a dense inflorescence like E. convallanoides and pumila, and 
such as have the thin racemes of E. bmctescens.” Lindley l. c.
