Determination Remarks"This must be the type collection of A. capitellata Brandg. IT fits the original descriptioni exactly but the type no. is Purpus 7348. That number in the G.H. is a very different plant from that described by Brang. I suspect switched labels and that this present sheet is really 7348"
