Notes
[A. pilosa is a very polymorphic species, and as used here the name covers a wide range of forms for which there seems no adequate means of characterization except perhaps in the case of var. trichocarpa J. Raynal from the Ivory Coast. Rather than describe a number of new varieties of doubtful validity it seems preferable to avoid categorizing the infra-specific variation for the time being.]
