Notes
The type of Tausch (a cultivated specimen in the Herb. of the Royal Univ. of Prague) and of E. unibracteata, Klotzsch, agree well. Both have distinctly three bracts, though two are usually very minute. Our other specimens chiefly differ in the indumentum of the branches, leaves and corolla. The bracts are somewhat variable in size and position, but are of one general type. The flowers much resemble those of E. mæsta (§ Chlorocodon).
