Description
Summary:The names Glochidionanamiticum (Kuntze) Kuntze ex Merrill and G.annamense Beille were previously reduced to synonyms of G.eriocarpum Champ. ex Benth. However, literature examination and morphological comparison suggest that G.annamense is conspecific with G.anamiticum and the species can be readily distinguished from G.eriocarpum by its styles connate into a long cylindric column and up to 3 mm long, ovaries usually 3-locular, stigma usually 3-lobed, capsules pubescent and usually 6-grooved, persistent styles 3‒4 mm long. Thus, the specific status of G.anamiticum is here reinstated and G. annamense is treated as its synonym.
