The /id of this fpecies is remarkably f{mooth and po- 
lifhed, not wrinkled even in the dry fpecimen ; it often 
breaks off a little above the bafe, leaving its thin lower 
part like a loofe ring round the ca/yx. The /eaves are 
lanceolate. 
3. E. capitellata, operculo conico calyceque angulofo 
fubancipiti, capitulis lateralibus pedunculatis foli- 
tariis. 
Lid conical, and, as well as the calyx, angular, and 
fomewhat two-edged. Heads of flowers lateral, fo- 
litary, on flower-{talks. 
The /eaves are ovato-lanceolate, firm, aftringent, but 
not very aromatic. We have feen no other fpecies in 
which the /owers ftand in little denfe heads, each flower 
not being pedicellated fo as to form an umbel. The /d 
is about as long as the calyx. Flower-/la/k comprefied, 
always folitary and fimple. 
The fruit of this fpecies, ftanding on part of a branch 
whofe leaves are fallen off, is figured in Mr. White’s 
Voyage, page 226, along with the leaves of the next 
{pecies.
