Taxonomy Comments: See Al-Shehbaz (1988c) for additional discussion of the systematics, nomenclature, ecology, and distribution of this species (or species complex). Arkansas material previously considered part of C. dissecta (Gentry et al. 2013) is in the process of being named at species rank (Witsell, Dec. 2015, pers. comm.). Alabama plants

Other Comments: Al-Shehbaz (1988c) states that C. dissecta is easily distinguished from its relatives "by its glabrous leaves that are divided into filiform to narrowly linear segments". First reported for VA by Wieboldt et al. (1998).
