  • Neotype: "here designated: A"
  • Comment: This name is not a nomen superfluum (cf. Conran & Clifford 1986). Raginesque's description translated, in part, as "similar to E. latifolius but with ovate leaves". This specifically excludes the lectotype of E. latifolius because the specimen does not have ovate leaves. The neotype here designated matches the diagnoses.
