Editing Archontophoenix alexandrae (section)

===Notes: ===
Two rather obscure varieties of this species have
been named; <i>A. alexandrae</i> var. <i>schizanthera</i> was
described by Wendland & Drude on the following differences
compared to the type species: smaller inflorescence.
prominent floral bracts; stamen number of 14-15; pistillode
longer than the stamens; fruit slightly larger; and pinnae
broader. All of these quantitative differences fit well into
the accepted variability of the species. The second variety,
<i>A. alexandrae</i> var. <i>beatricea</i> was described as having a
prominently stepped lower trunk, though individuals with this
character are commonly found in all populations of this
species and even in populations of some of the other species.
In the current revision of the genus, these varieties will be
listed as synonyms of <i>A. alexandrae</i>.
