Comments
At
Rio Verde the southern limits of the distribution range of A.
retusus are reached, plants in these southern populations correspond
to what has been described as A. retusus ssp. scapharostroides,
the plants are quite small compared to those encountered further North,
and in the case of the colony illustrated were limited in number.
