Recent treatments (Whittemore et al. 1997) do not recognize the varieties of A. canadense, as did Wiegand and Eames in 1926.

CAYUGA FLORA (1926) NOTES: Rich moist humus in upland woods, mostly overlaying calcareous gravels and rich loams ; scarce. Apr.-May. N. of Lick Brook ; Taughannock Gorge ; and probably elsewhere. N. B. to Man., southw. to N. C, Mo., and Kans. ; occurring only occasionally on the Coastal Plain.
var. acuminatum Ashe. In situations similar to the preceding ; apparently much more common. Enfield Glen; n. of Lick Brook; Six Mile Creek; Fall Creek; Taughannock Gorge ; ravine near Elm Beach, Romulus ; s. of Willets ; Merrifield ; and elsewhere. Conn, and N. Y. to Minn, and Ky. ; common westw. In this flora this variety is scarcely more than an extreme of the typical form.
var. reflexum (Bickn.) Robins. Alluvial woodlands ; rare. Howland Island, 1919 (A. H. Wright) ; alluvial wooded bank of Clyde River, Galen, 1923 (L. F. Randolph, A. J. E., & K. M. W.). Conn, and s. N. Y. to Mich, and Iowa, southw. to Mo. and Kans.
