REMARKS

The typification by Baker & Simmonds (1954) is not effective, as they refer to two sheets, which are kept at separate herbaria. This is according to Baker & Simmonds (1954) a synonym of E. edule , i.e. E. ventricosum . However, judged by the structure of inflorescence shown in original description ( Schumann 1905), it is accepted as a good species here.
