According to Webster (1967), Florida material is an endemic species (A. blodgettii) distinguished by broader petals, ciliate-tipped staminodia, and its seed sculpturing. Ramírez-Amezcua (in FNA, vol. 12) applied A. argothamnoides to Florida material and stated it was morphologicallly indistinguishable from plants of northern South American and adjacent islands.
