(mt.) element. Most closely allied to A. thiebautii. The above description applies to the gathering from Adana (Hub.-Mor. 16158), which has been determined by the collector as A. barbeyanus. This specimen agrees well with the descriptions available of A. barbeyanus, and there seems no reason to doubt this determination.
