Glossary (beta!)

Origin/Endemic status: Eurasia

Taxonomy Comments: The possible additional recognition of var. hispida also needs assessment. Var. hispida Bentham, considered to have been originally e. Asian, is alleged to be widespread in se. United States. According to Fernald (1950), it differs from P. vulgaris var. vulgaris in having the "stems, petioles, and often the lower surfaces of leaves densely villous-hispid" (vs. "only sparingly and not conspicuously pilose").
