Notes.

As the original protologue for E. laurifolia (Todaro 1860) could not be found, it is not possible to determine if this name was validly published and thus illegitimate, as it was already validly published by Jacquin (1768), or it can be considered as a nomen nudum. Moreover, the protologue is cited on digital databases as being published in 1860, but according to TL-2 it was published either in 1859 or 1862. Todaro (1862) later published the variety E. crista-galli var. laurifolia based on his previous E. laurifolia, but made no additional informative description that could help confirm the identity of the mentioned specimen.
