Thank you very much Sir for explaining beautifully why this species can not be *E. antiquorum*. Now I think I can also reject *E. lacei* Craib, where cyathium is solitary or in dichasium of three cyathia.
I also thank Tapas Sir very much again for helping me. Thanks to Garg Sir for always taking care.
