When LinnjEus first characterized this plant in the Hortus 

 ^hffortianus, he used the term foliis pinnatifidis, and this 

 was continued to the third edition of the Species Plantarum. 

 Alter this, by some means, the term got changed to pinnalis, 

 which has been continued ever since ; though it probably 

 originated in an error of the press ; for the leaves are really 



pinnatifia,
