| Abstract: | The range of variation in the features of Syrrhopodon armatus Mitt. is discussed, and the interrelationships of this species with Syrrhopodon armatissimus W.D.Reese and Syrrhopodon armatus ssp. insularus (Bizot & Onr.) Orbán & W.D.Reese are assessed. The latter taxon is reinstated at the level of species. A key to distinguish between these taxa is provided. |
