Discusión taxonómica
The extremely small size of this plant is quite distinctive, but it is the only character we have found to separate it from A. intermedia. Other differences, such as degree of dissection, are probably only a reflection of the difference in size. Since the two species are known from a total of only three specimens, we hesitate combining them until their variation is better known.A
