Dyer and E. middelburgensis Vorster et al. in its pungent, stiff, glaucous leaves. It differs from all these species in its decurrent pinnae and glabrous sporophylls with a waxy covering" (1).

Range

South Africa: the Northern Transvaal (1).

Remarks

I would like to obtain a copy of citation (1); I have only the abstract.
