Note
|
Although this is obviously only a variation of E. ciliare, in which the lateral lobes of the lip are entire (or nearly so) and in which the mid-lobe is usually broader, its relationship seems not to have been suspected in recent years. Perhaps this is because of the very evident but superficial character of lacerate lateral lobes of the lip in E. ciliare and the entire (and thus less conspicuous) ones in the variety.
