Perhaps it would be interesting to know whether the two names are synonyms or not: None of the three reputed databases Kew Plant List, GRIN (although has limited scope) and Sorting plant names, treats them as synonyms. Perhaps a detailed perusal of paper (Merrill--- J. Arnold Arbor. 19: 340 1938.)in which combination T. glabra was made, should provide some answer.
