Note. – Although the types of both E. griffithii (Hook. f. & Thomson) Jafri and E. griffithianum were collected by Griffith, the two species should not be confused as the former is a suffrutescent perennial with distinct pedicels and is a narrow endemic to Afghanistan, whereas the latter is an annual with subsessile fruits and is common in both Afghanistan and Pakistan (see POLATSCHEK, 2011).
