A wilt in M. monticola, Gr. (Hab. 350) which appears to be the same, Veiled pubescent or glabrous. No Tolminii in Hub. Gr. The Colchis has narrow radical leaves as well as Bryophyllum an elongated and somewhat narrowed tubular calyx, bipartite corolla tube, and a glandular pedicel with a fibrous base and capsule. The nectariferous organs are distinct. E. Bipolaris has a broad calyx, deeply 3-lobed, but it is evidently marked by its broadly ovate sessile leaves embracing the nearly axillary flowers. In E. Breviculmis the leaves are more or less lanceolate, tapering to the base, somewhat divaricate, the flowers peduncled, calyx teeth and tube variable, capsule 3-celled and oblique. In the young state it is difficult to distinguish the two. Bloomer found at King City, what seems to be E. Bipolaris — also at Z. Boring, pretty certainly, at Steamboat Springs — yet they may not be distinct. All in Hub. Gr. Very much sparsely. Boring notes the style as a little bent to the elongated tube of the capsule. B Cf.
