Fruit 2-4-fasciculate, axillary, ellipsoid, 7-8 mm long, about 2 mm thick, more or less ribbed, densely silvery lepidote; pedicels 3—4 mm long, silvery lepidote. Endemic.

This species is distinctly characterized by the small obovate leaves, which are very dark above and silvery-white beneath, without the presence of any brown spots. The obovate leaves are readily distinguished from those of the common and widespread E. oldhamii, as they are thin, acute at apex, strongly discolored on the two surfaces, and without brown spots.
