The following specimens seem to be somewhat intermediate between A 
angustifolia and A. fruticosa (especially its var. humilis, which can be determined 
clearly only from living specimens).

A. pubescens Schlecht. Linnaea 34:691. 1851. 
The type of this species is very clearly indicated by Linnaeus in citing ‘Hort 
Cliff. p. 353. tab. 19,” but I have seen only a relatively small number of specimens 
which represent this type. It was collected first by Catesby in North Carolina. 
I distinguish the following varieties, but I believe that such widely distributed 
forms as A. angustifolia and A. tennessensis can only be taken for varieties of A. 
jruticosa. Probably also A. californica and A. caroliniana may be considered 
as mere geographical varieties of A. fruticosa.
