Notes
Warwarood, wawara, wawaro (Som.). One of the syntypes of A. cheilanthifolia, Puccioni & Stefanini 479, is actually A. laeta. This specimen has therefore been excluded from the types cited above. Var. hirtella differs in having densely puberulous branchlets, leaves and inflorescences, but does not seem worthy of recognition.
