Comments
Specimens previously determined as V. eriocarpa were recently annotated to this species. Foliage, however, is not tripartite and no tripartite leaves have ever been seen at either well-known locality. Plants without divided leaves have been called var. glaberrima (DC.) Harper. More recently, a similar specimen has been found from a third locality.

Rich, mesic slope forests over calcareous or mafic rocks. Rare, sw. mountains; known only from three localities in Carroll, Floyd, and Montgomery counties.
