A very distinct species; the elongated rachis with often a second somewhat 
smaller terminal glomerulus renders this species a connecting link between the sections 
Adenoclaoxylon and Defier sia. 
§ II. Deflersia. Flores saepissime minuti in racemos axillares dispo- 
siti; racemi angustiores foliis breviores vel angustissimi spiciformes foliis sub- 
aequilongi. Stamina nisi in E. natalensi definita, semper glandulis juxta- 
staminalibus intermixta et simul glandulis extrastaminalibus circumcincta ; 
antherarum locelli subglobosi. Ovarium nisi in E. anomala glabrum ; 
squamae hypogynae nisi in E. Poggeophyto complanatae, inter se discretae — 
in E. Poggeophyto squamae cylindrico-clavatae, stamindiiformes, antheras 
cassas suffulcientes, glandulis minoribus eas floris masculi simulantibus 
additis. Pendae persistentes vel deciduae. Stipulae saepe spinulas basi 
dilatatas apice pungentes, raro umbones vel aculeolos tantum efficientes. 
IT 4- Eudeflersieae. Racemi foliis breviores; pedicelli masculi prope 
basin articidati. Flores minuti ; calyx mascidus fere ad basin usquepartitus.
