Notes. – The isotypes have printed, handwritten labels by Boissier and read “In montibus tophaceis ad Bouldour”, and lack the day and collection number.

Because Boissier examined only the unicate in his herbarium in drafting the species description, that specimen is the holotype. There was no need to lectotypify the name as done by DOROFEYEV (2012: 463) who recognized A. cardiophyllum as a distinct species and designated its lectotype based on the LE duplicate that was neither examined nor annotated by Boissier.
