Comments

San Francisco represents the central area of distribution of A. kotschoubeyanus, and demonstrates the N/S cline in size of the species, being intermediate in size between the small growing northern populations, and the 'elephants' of Queratero, The habitat is very similar to that of the northern populations being exposed mudflats.
