|discussion=<p>D. J. Rogers and S. G. Appan (1973) noted the overall similarity and nearly identical geographic ranges of <i>Manihot angustiloba</i> and <i>M. davisiae</i>, yet they maintained these taxa as separate species, presumably because of their (nearly) constant and consistent differences in leaf lobe outline. <i>Manihot angustiloba</i> has generally narrow, nearly linear, primary lobes with a pair of serrate secondary lobes forming the widest portion of the lobe proximal to the middle; <i>M. davisiae</i> has generally broader leaf lobes with one pair of rounded secondary lobes that form the widest portion of the lobe distal to the middle, or two pairs of nearly equal, rounded, secondary lobes proximal and distal to the middle. Some specimens exhibit an intermediate condition: primary lobes that are narrow distally but also bear a pair of rounded secondary lobes proximal to the middle.</p><!--
--><p>In the flora area, <i>Manihot angustiloba</i> is restricted to Cochise, Pima, and Santa Cruz counties.</p>
