Occurrence Notes
Probably Present per Schelz et al. 2006, Bibkey # 614568, but Fertig et al. 2009, Bibkey # 661759 states status as Questionable, as ARCH is outside the expected range of this species. There is no A. involucrata specimen in the ARCH herbarium, though this species can be mistaken for the more common (and Present in Park) species, A. macrosperma.; Data Source: Fertig et al. 2009, Bibkey # 661759
