- Comments
- Most, or perhaps all, of our material is var. maculata. The more southern var. curtisii (Coult. & Rose) Fern. (= C. mexicana Coulter & Rose) has been attributed to the se. Virginia Coastal Plain, but differences between this and var. maculata have been difficult to discern in limited herbarium studies. Var. curtisii is reportedly a more robust plant with differences in leaf size and fruit morphology. However, until a more comprehensive study of Virginia specimens can be made, we consider the status of var. curtisii to be unverified.
