Affinity to E, Evaseri F. Muell., and E. spathulata W. V. Fitzg., differing 
from l)oth in the shape of the calyx-segments and in the corolla. The calyx 
is almost that of the sjiecies of § EveTHocosuios. There is also some resem- 
blance to E. Ereclhign F. Muell., but the leaves are broader, the calyx-segments 
lai’ger and of different shape, and the stamens exserted.

I his very attractive ]>lant is closely related to E. Ereelingii, from which 
it diOers in tin* sirssile denticulate leaves, much longer sigmoid jieduncles and 
acute corolla lobes, as well as in the calyx. It also has some points of resem- 
blance with h, (hlvs'n, differing in the distinctly and somewhat coarsely den- 
ticulate leaves, shorter and thicker peduncle, imbricate calyx-segments, acute 
corolla lobes (4c. 
E. 1' reeJingii, E. ^})ectabilE, E. Gilesii and FL folio^F^ima have all the 
same characteristic indumentum of short stiff curled white hairs accompanied 
by some viscidity, but the markc'd decurrence of the right hand niargin of tin' 
outer sepals of F]. specta})}lis is a feature not olu:('rved in the other s]>ecies.
