Notes

Treated here sensu lato, the individual below is probably an hybrid of A. ligtu × A. haemantha. Many hybrids or cultivars are sold under the cultivar name ‘Ligtu’ or as Ligtu hybrids, which causes much confusion.

The following infraspecific taxa are accepted:

• A. ligtu subsp. ligtu L., 1762, M;
• A. ligtu subsp. simsii (Spreng.) Ehr.Bayer, 1987;
• A. ligtu subsp. splendens Muñoz-Schick, 2003.
