I regard this as nothing more than a jarge state of H, repens, from which it does 
not seem to differ except in the larger size and in the greater number of lobes to the 
leaves. Mr. Petrie, however, who has paid great attention to the genus, considers 
it to be distinct. 
13. E. repens Hook. f. Fi. Nov. Zel. 1 (1853) 200.—A minute very 
slender creeping and rooting glabrous or puberulous herb; branches 
prostrate, almost filiform, 1—4 in. long, rooting at the nodes. Leaves minute, 
in rather remote pairs, sessile, #;-75 in. long, cuneate, deeply 3-lobed ; 
lobes flat, acute, erect. Flowers axillary and solitary, erect, large for the 
size of the plant, 4-4 in. long; peduncles slender, exceeding the leaves, 
sometimes #in. long. Calyx 4-lobed to about 4-way down; lobes flat, 
erect, acute. Corolla-tube slender, curved, more than twice as long as the 
calyx ; upper lip short, broad, shortly 2-lobed; lower lip 3-lobed. Anthers 
glabrous or nearly so. Ovary pubescent; ovules 2 in each cell, pendulous.

or 3-lobed. Flowers solitary and axillary, erect, shortly peduneled. 
Calyx oblong-campanulate, 5-lobed to the middle; lobes equal, ovate- 
lanceolate, acute. Corolla-tube excessively long and slender, 1-2 in. long, 
narrow at the base, gradually expanded above; limb short, 2-lipped; 
upper lip erect, obcordate, shortly 2-lobed; lower lip rather shorter, 
spreading or deflexed, 3-lobed. Stamens 4, didynamous; anthers large, 
almost as long as the lower lip of the corolla, mucronate at the base. 
Ovary small, broadly ovoid, 2-celled; ovules solitary, pendulous from 
i the top of the cell. Style slender; stigma circinately incurved. Capsule 
broadly obcuneate, much broader than long, loculicidaily dehiscent, 
compressed. Seeds one in each cell, large, oblong, pendulous. 
_A very remarkable monotypic genus, confined to New Zealand. It is closely — 
allied to Huphrasia, but differs in the extraordinary length of the corolla-tube, in the 
solitary ovules, and in the broad obcuneate capsule.
