Taxonomy
3As the type of A. decipiens var. parvifolia is not extant, it is not certain whether it belongs to this species or whether it is just a small-leaved form of A. decipiens.
2The same contrasting colours as found in the inflorescences of A. decipiens probably also occur in this species in fruit.
1Even though the material presently available is sparse, this taxon, regarded as a variety by Diels (1935) and by Corner (1962), is distinct enough to be recognised as a species, as considered by Corner in the Flora Malesiana manuscript. It is distinct from the lowland A. decipiens in the habit, becoming a tree of more than 20 m tall, the small leaves, up to 10 cm long, the lack of bracts on the peduncle of the pistillate inflorescences, the broader and more densely hairy involucral bracts, and the presence of a single flower in the pistillate inflorescence.
