Typical specimens of this species are easily distinguished from typical ones 
of E. philippinensis, but there are often puzzling intermediates. To the charac- 
ters given in the key, it may be added that the leaves of E. navesii are usually 
broader, more rounded at the base, and have more numerous veins than those 
of the other species, but none of these can be depended upon. Even as regards 
the more natural characters given in the key, it must be confessed that specimens 
here referred to one or the other species approach the limits of size given very 
closely; further, several collections, all referred here to E. navesii, seem to have 
the calyx already longer at anthesis: these grade into the others so gradually 
that they have not been separated. I have not followed Clarke in his reduction 
of E. philippinensis to E. laevis var. timoriensis, because the only description 
1 have found of flowers of the latter states that the corolla-tube is shorter than 
the calyx; in E. philippinensis, they are regularly longer, though sometimes but 
little, being about the size ascribed by Clarke to typical E. laevis. Indian and 
Ceylon material of that species in this herbarium, though undoubtedly very 
closely allied, seems sufficiently distinct. If Formosan material in this herbarium 
named as E. formosana Hemsley has been correctly identified, that species must 
be reduced to E. navesii. Otherwise, it is apparently confined to the Philip- 
pines.
