it is plane-ground joint flask, as in the link

PREPARATION EXAMPLES
Example 1
124.5 g of oxidatively degraded potato starch (Perfectamyl.RTM. A 4692 from Avebe) are dispersed in 985 g of demineralized water and dissolved by heating to 86.degree. C. under nitrogen in a 2 l flask having a plane-ground joint and a stirrer, reflux condenser and jacket heating.

Here "plane", of course, defines ground, not flask.

flat-bottom ground joint flask
Let's analyse a little.
'Kolvi' is a (heating) flask used in laboratories.
'Hios' means a (conical) ground (glass) joint.
'Taso-' can theoretically refer to both 'hios' and 'kolvi'. Apparently it is only 'kolvi' that here can be referred by 'taso-'.
Then, what can 'taso-' (flat surface) mean here. The only logical conclusion I can come up to is that it is a flask that is meant to be placed on a flat surface.
And, really, there are two types of these (laboratory heating) flasks. One with round-bottom (to be hanged above a Bunsen burner) and one with flat-bottom (to be placed on a stovetop).
On this site
http://www.laborexin.fi/sivut/lasi/h_lasi/Hioskolvit-esite.p...
they tell about 'pyöreäpohjaiset' (round-bottom) and 'tasapohjaiset' (flat-bottom) 'kolvit'.
So, I am quite convinced that 'tasohioskolvi' is just a shorter name for 'tasapohjainen hioskolvi' (flat-bottom ground joint flask).
'Plane ground joint flask' can apparently mean the same (tells Google), but 'plane flask' seems also to mean 'litteä pullo' ('taskumatti' if used for "traveller's first-aid liqueur storage")
