2. E. hypotephra (under side of leaf grey), F. v. M. Fraym. v. 166, partly ;

as the leaves. Bracts small, but larger and more persistent than in the other 
species. Pedicels very short. Perianth-tube small, turbinate, the limb spread- 
ing to 3 or 4 lines diameter. Staminodia of the outer row forming a thick fleshy

on the persistent but not enlarged perianth.
