Notes

Blum & al. (1998) segregated E. neocapillus from E. chloranthus and E. viridiflorus due to the hairy spination in juvenile plants. Other taxa as E. blumii, E. carmenensis, and E. milleri also present this character. However, those taxa have discontinuos distribution and differ in spination in mature plants. For now, they are recognized as different species until more evidence is available.A
