Six new species are described: E. balgooyi Coode, E. batui Coode, E. takolensis Coode, E. erdinii Coode and E. harunii Coode, all from Sulawesi, and E. seramicus Coode from Maluku.

E. multiflorus (Turcz.) Fern.-Vill. is recognised and E. moluccanus Scheff. & E. minahassensis R. Knuth are sunk into it. E. crenatus (Raf.)
