REMARKS

This is most likely a synonym of E. edule ( Baker & Simmonds 1954) , i.e. E.ventricosum . The typification by Baker & Simmonds (1954: 405) is not effective, as they refer to two collections, one at BM and one at K. All lecto- and isotype sheets are cross marked by Schweinfurth’s collection number 130.
