Taxonomy Comments: Populations of this species in dry sandhill communities in the Fall Line Sandhills of NC and SC have a number of peculiar features: basal leaves often borne appressed against the ground, small leaflets, coarse and more equilateral toothing of the leaflets. These populations may be worthy of taxonomic recognition; they need further study.
