spatulate-obovate, on slender elongate petioles, the blades crenate- 
dentate, the slightly broadened petiole-bases rarely fimbriate; lower 
cauline leaves on shorter broader petioles, with slightly pinnatifid or 
laciniate bases ; middle and upper leaves oblong or broadly oblance- 
olate, coarsely and regularly short-crenate or -dentate above, with 
somewhat larger teeth at base.— Common in Europe. In America, 
established in fields, Bonaventure Co., QUEBEC, and at St. John’s, 
NEWFOUNDLAND (Robinson & Schrenk) ; locally as a lawn-weed, North 
Easton, MASSACHUSETTS, and to be expected elsewhere. 
Var. subpinnatifidum. (Fig. 2.) Basal leaves coarsely and 
irregularly toothed or lobed, often with 
the petioles fimbriate at base; lower 
cauline oblanceolate or narrowly spatu- 
late, subpinnatifid, often even along the 
petioles, with sharp or bluntish simple 
or serrate irregular teeth, and with lacer- 
ate bases; middle and upper cauline 
narrowly oblong or narrowly oblanceo- 
late, similarly subpinnatifid.— C. Leucan-
