Three very nearly related, but distinct species, seem to 
nave been confounded under Corxopsis reptans. First, the 
Mhean plant with simple ovate lower, and ternate upper 
aves, deeply serrate, with oblong tecth, and a flower 
laving an indented ray; second, that of Sloane’s work - 
(Hist. 1. 261) repeatedly, but erroneously adduced for its 
‘ynonym; but in which none of the leaves are ovate simple 
and deeply serrate, but uniformly ternate and shallowly 
serrate, with short triangular teeth: third, our present 
mcisd, where the leaves are all either quinate or ternate, 
eeply cut, and the ray of the flower pointed and quite en- 
. 3
