Plant Notes

Glabrate plants with many-lobed leaves are common in Florida, and have been referred to as V. septemloba. The names V. esculenta, V. edulis, V. hirsutula, and V. palmata s.str. have been applied in Florida for plants with few-lobed or mostly unlobed leaves (Brainerd 1910; Russell 1965; Gil-Ad 1998; McKinney & Russell 2002; Ward 2006; Weakley 2015; Little & McKinney in FNA, vol. 6). A further difficulty is that the earliest leaves produced (the oldest, outer ones) are often unlobed on plants.
