The affinity of this species is somewhat doubtful, though the probability is that 
it maybe most nearly allied to E. columnaris. The female plant is not yet known ; 
should it prove to have a columnar style with minute stigmas it may be possible 
to adopt Engler’s view and refer the plant to E. columnaris ; even then, however, it 
will be necessary to treat it as a distinct variety, readily recognized by its somewhat 
hispidulous, spreading hairs, and its longer bracteoles.

It has not been found possible to keep Claoxylon inaequilatemim apart from 
E. atrovirens ; the flowers of the two are the same in both sexes. In some of the 
specimens of C. inaequilaterum the leaves agree in shape with those of some of the 
specimens of E. oleracea, but as regards indumentum they agree with those of
