Notes
Allied to and resembling E. pavettæflora, but quite distinct by its more equal corolla-tube, smaller limb, and different anthers. It appears to be very local. Rach, who examined Thunberg's herbarium, in Linnæa, xxvi. 777, identified this with E. tenuiflora, Andr., and the descriptions agree well.
