Notes
[E. domingensis is closely allied to E. prolifera (Sw.) Steud. (= E. fascicularis Trin.), a species from the Congo Republic, Angola and tropical America with obtuse lemmas, fascicled leaves and a narrowly oblong panicle with short divergent branches. in America, however, the two species are not so clearly separated and tend to intergrade.]
