We discriminate gluonic hadrons from conventional qq̅ states by surveying radial and orbital excitations of all I=0 and I=1 nn̅ systems anticipated up to 2.1 GeV. We give detailed predictions of their quasi-two-body branching fractions and identify characteristic decay modes that can isolate quarkonia. Several of the "missing mesons" with L_qq̅=2 and L_qq̅=3 are predicted to decay dominantly into certain S+P and S+D modes, and should appear in experimental searches for hybrids in the same mass

... egion. We also consider the topical issues of whether some of the recently discovered or controversial meson resonances, including glueball and hybrid candidates, can be accommodated as quarkonia.
