APC Comment:
Recorded for Australia as one of the parents of a complex of garden hybrids involving F. leichtlinii subsp. leichtlinii and F. leichtlinii subsp. alba. J.C.Manning & P.Goldblatt, Strelitzia 27: 69 (2010) state that "Although some specimens are referrable to either subsp. alba or subsp. leichtlinii, most fall within a continuum between the two colour forms and the Australian plants are thus treated as a single entity".
