Since Acalypha virginica var. rhomboidea is now considered a synonym of A. rhomboidea some specimens that in the past had been identified as A. virginica without reference to variety may in fact be A. rhomboidea. We have not confirmed the identification of the specimens listed here and these should be verified as many are likely A. rhomboidea.
