Taxonomic note
South & Skelton (2003) cite Amansia rhodantha (Harvey) J. Agardh 1841, Delesseria rhodantha Harvey 1834 and Amansia paloloensis South & Skelton 1999 as synonyms of Amansia glomerata C. Agardh 1824. However, N'Yeurt (2002) examined the Hawaiian lectotype specimen of Amansia glomerata C. Agardh, and found it to belong in the genus Melanamansia R.E. Norris 1988, which was found to differ from Amansia in morphological and biochemical characters. - (11 May 2006) - G.M. Guiry
