After studies of type specimens, other herbarium specimens and fresh collections from northern Western Ghats, it is found that E. macrosepala (Figure 4) differs from E. roxburghii in having bigger leaves, 6−15 × 2.5−6.0 cm, chartaceous or subcoriaceous, lateral nerves 10−15 pairs (vs. 2.5−7.0 × 1−3 cm, coriaceous, 7−10 pairs in E. roxburghii), flowers axillary and lateral from the leafless axils, solitary or in pairs, sessile (vs. axillary and terminal, 2−4 together or fascicled cymes, pedicels 0.7−1.5 cm long), bracteoles longer than the calyx lobes (vs. shorter), calyx lobes longer than the petals, lanceolate (vs. shorter, ovate), petals ovate-oblong, pubescent (vs. elliptic, glabrous), drupes 2.5−3.0 cm across, subglobose, pubescent (vs. 1.1−1.4 cm, globose, glabrous), and seeds 1−2 (vs. seeds 2−3). These morphological differences are taxonomically very important to distinguish E. macrosepala as a distinct species.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/287BE672FF9528368F80B25D3DA5FCB4	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
