1. E. euneata Forst. f. Prodr. (1786) 43, — Perennial, 6-30 in. higi 
or even more; stems erect or decumbent, firm, sometimes almost woody 
at the base, usually much branched and often excessively so, rarely 
simple; branches slender, virgate, leafy, puberulous or rarely almost 
glabrous. Leaves variable in size and shape, 4-2 in. long, broad or narrow 
obovate-cuneate, rounded at the tip, narrowed at the base into a distinct 
petiole of variable length, coriaceous, glabrous, with 1-3 more or less distinet 
notches on each side, rarely entire; margins flat, not recurved. Flowers 
usually very numerous, in large specimens from the repeated branching of 
the flowering stems and the reduction of the upper leaves to bracts forming 
a quasi-paniculate inflorescence, in smaller forms spicate ; peduncles shorter 
than the calyx. Calyx small, narrow, 4-lobed ; lobes obtuse, shorter than 
the tube. Corolla large, $-#in. long, white with a yellow eye, sometimes 
with purplish streaks, pilose externally ; upper lip 2-lobed, lobes emar- 
ginate ; lower lip 3-lobed. Capsule linear-cuneate, emarginate, hairy or at 
length glabrous, exceeding the calyx. Seeds numerous, elongate.—A. Rich.

A distinct species, well marked by the large size, much-branched perennial habit, 
cuneate leaves narrowed into a distinct petiole, large pedicelled flowers and long narrow 
capsule. The extreme state of var. tricolor has a very distinct appearance ; but there 
is no difficulty in tracing an absolutely gradual passage into the ordinary form,
