**
The more commonly cultivated plants in Florida would be referred to as E. aureum, following the taxonomy of Boyce (2004). Nicolson (1978) treated E. aureum as a synonym of E. pinnatum, stating the only difference was that E. aureum was variegated, while differences in leaf blade lobing and midrib perforations were not diagnostic. Boyce (1998) first recognized E. pinnatum cv. Aureum as unknown in the wild and then later (Boyce 2004) recognized E. aureum as a distinct species with its non-variegated form originating in French Polynesia. Boyce (1998, 2004) distinguished E. aureum as plants more robust and many-stemmed, leaf blades thicker and ovate to ovate-lanceolate with irregular shallow pinnations, netted sheath-remains absent, and pin-holes bordering the midrib few and undeveloped.
