Remarks
Acalypha communis is a morphologically complex species that includes numerous infraspecific taxa; five subspecies are currently recognised (Cardiel et al. 2013). Some specimens of A. communis present mixed characters that make it difficult to assign them to the accepted subspecies. Probably these subspecies can hybridise in areas where they coexist, but further study is required.
