A polymorphic species ; as to the manner of division of its leaves, we 

 find all gradation from the simply ternate from to the subquadriternatisected 

 form ; so no sharp line can be drawn between those forms with various 

 leaves and it is impossible to make from these forms more than one 

 species. Flowers are alike in all.
