Aflhiity to E. Mackinlayi F. !Mucl]., and E. sfrongylopJiylla F. Muell., 
differing in the smaller leaves, the corolla not constricted above the ovary 
but gradually Avidened into a campanulate base, the longer acute corolla 
lobes, much narroAA'or and more deeply divided calyx' covered Avith a long 
floccose wool. Tliis AAdiite aa'ooI is sometimes suffused with violet, and alwavs 
forms a subglobular Avoolly mass Avhich quite conceals the calyx. The 
specimen from Mount Gascoigne has more acute and erect leaA^es, but is 
otherAvise typical: it may perhaps constitute a distinct variety.
