Notes

Var. heterophylla is a variable entity in which a number of intergrading local forms (para-morphs) have been described as species. For a discussion of the synonymy, with argumentation, see my .
Flowers are sometimes 4-merous, with 4 calyx lobes. HAYATA (1914) mentioned for the type specimen of A. formosana 4-5-carpellate ovaries; 4 or 5 carpels are also occasionally found in A. macrophylla.
In specimens from the Philippines several times galled, club-shaned flowers were found.
