Lectotype (Gibbs in Bol. Soc. Brot., sér . 2, 41: 87, 98. 1967): Sauvages, Herb. Linn. No. 891.8 (LINN) .

Note: The type designated by Gibbs did not correspond with the usage of A. complicatus sensu stricto pre-1967, and Castroviejo (in Anales Jard. Bot. Madrid 39: 159. 1982) discusses the nomenclatural consequences of this.
