/14, N. PARViFLORA queicifolia (Eastwood) Chandler, comb, 

 nov, — xV. qitcrcifolia Eastwood, Bull. Torr. Bot. Club 28:142. 

 1901. — Plant with softer, more spreading pubescence than the 

 type: leaves with more rounded lobes and shallower sinuses, the 

 lower of these scarcely deeper than the upper : peduncles mostly 

 exceeding the leaves: calyx-lobes mostly oblong. 



This variety is separated on what are usually rather unstable characters, 

 but here they seem constant enough to warrant a separation, especially since 

 the geographical range is quite remote from that of the type.
