This species is probably related to E. bijiangenseW. T. Wang, and
from the latter differs in its leaves with 4-8-denticulate long tail-
like apexes and four pairs of secondary nerves, in its smaller
inconspicuous pistillate receptacles, and in its achenes which only
on upper part are longitudinally 4-ribbed. In E. bijiangense, the
leaves at apex have entire cusps and five pairs of secondary nerves,
the pistillate receptacles are larger, conspicuous, discoid, ca. 5 mm
long, and the achenes are longitudinally 6-8-ribbed, with the ribs
nearly as long as the achene body (Wang, 2014).
