Lactuca spicata (Lam.) Hitch., var. multifida (Rydb.), n. 
comb.—L. multifida Rydb. Mem. N.Y. Bot. Gard. 484. 1900.— 
The salient character of this plant (linear or narrowly lanceolate 
leaf divisions) is a striking one, but except for this foliar difference 
the plant is referable to L. spicata. Accordingly, its relationship 
is better indicated if it is treated as a variety of that species. The 
variety is found throughout the Northwest, but it is not frequent.
