I think both E. ciliata and E. eriocalyx are much different plants with with much shorter condensed inflorescence barely exceeding 6 cm. This plant looks much similar to E. fruticosa in long slender inflorescence, but leaves are different being almost glabrous and shining in appearance (not white lanate), suddenly narrowed at apex (and not gradually acuminate), and more coarsely toothed. Perhaps at this stage E. stachyodes should be the most logical choice as suggested by Alok ji.
