These specimens show a good deal of variation in the form of<br />

the leaves, due to a varying degree of lobation.<br />

All are characterized<br />

by an indument of long, stiff hairs on the leaves and by the development<br />

of one of the segments of the stipules, a condition which led<br />

Masters to describe the stipules as linear.<br />

In addition to the specimens cited above, some referred to the<br />

typical form and to var. nigelliflora may belong here.<br />
