It is probable that this species is identical with E. 
lavior. Reichenbach may have described /.p/ana from a 
juvenile specimen which he believed to be different from 
E.. laxior. No mention of the flower structure is made in 
the description of either 4. /axior or E..plana and it may 
be that the specimens were sterile. The Gillespie speci- 
men is the only one with flowers which I have seen.

Glomera montana Reichenbach filius in Linnaea

It is remarkable that this species was not included in 
the Flora Vitiensis, since I believe that Reichenbach had 
seen at least two specimens before the publication of that 
flora.
