Notes —From the three gatherings mentioned in the protologue of A. ramiflorum by Müller-Argoviensis (1860a), Woodson (1951) cited Sellow 1651 as the type. However, since this gathering has more than one specimen, it was necessary to narrow Woodson’s (1951) typification by electing the material with a flower as the second-step lectotype of A. ramiflorum (MO barcode MO-016026) (ICN article 9.17; Turland et al. 2018).
