The unexpectedly large branching ratios for $B\to \eta' K (\eta' X_s)$ decays could be of gluonic origin. We study the implications for $B\to \eta K (\eta X_s)$ and $P K (PX_s)$, where $P$ is the pseudoscalar glueball. In the mechanism proposed by Fritzsch, large branching ratios are predicted for these modes. The $B\to \eta K$ rate is barely within the experimental limit, and $B\to P K$, $PX_s$ could be at the 0.1% and 1% level, respectively. Smaller but less definite results are found for the mechanism of $g^* \to \eta' g$ via the gluon anomaly.
