|discussion=<p><i>Argythamnia serrata</i> is widely distributed and variable; six species have been described to recognize this variation. However, these groups overlap morphologically and geographically, and many specimens cannot be determined with confidence. A broadly defined <i>A. serrata</i> is therefore recognized here.</p>
