REMARKS

Based on the original description, this species is very close to E. holstii , which is pointed out to be synonymous with E. edule ( Baker & Simmonds 1954: 406) , i.e. E. ventricosum . The description was based on a specimen collected at Tanzania, Uluguru Mountains ( Warburg 1904). The type has probably existed at B ( Lock 1993).
