Taxonomy Comments: This taxon has sometimes been treated at varietal or subspecific rank under A. ovatum Lagasca y Segura or under A. odoratum Linnaeus. Morphological, cytological, and molecular evidence are not in concordance, and it seems best to retain it at species rank and flexible affinities.
