Brandegee states that his plant is not typical, having the 
leaves more acuminate, and cuneate at the base. Standley 
reduces 7’. multifolia Rose to Cracca toxicaria (Pers.) Kuntze. 
A comparison of Palmer’s no. 1364 (the type-number of 7. 
-multifolia) with specimens of Cracca toxicaria shows that the former 
differs in the leaflets being oblong and not oblong-lanceolate, 
in their more delicate texture and shorter, sparser indumentum, 
-and in the much slenderer leaf-rhachis. It seems desirable to 
treat 7’. multifolia as a distinct species.
