Field Notes

Description:

Plants are variable in leaf and flower shape and have in the past been separated out as different subspecies due to these variable shapes. Currently most taxonomic treatments lump these different forms into one highly variable species.

Habitat:

North Carolina Botanical Garden

Notes:

I wonder if the first jigsaw puzzles were patterned after the leaves of this plant.
