subvillous or glabrescent; leaves orbicularly reniform, or reniform-cordate, crenated, 7–9 nerved; petioles and peduncles in fascicles, pubescent; umbels capitate, on short peduncles, 3–4 flowered, all the flowers fertile; fruit orbicular, furnished with 4 ribs on both sides, much longer than the involucre. A very variable plant. Stem much-creeping and stoloniferous. Petioles 1 inch or shorter, in other specimens from 2–6 inches long. Leaves thin or coriaceous, larger and rather woolly at the base, with crenated, dentate or nearly quite entire margins; in small specimens 3–4 lines, in the largest 2–2 1/4 inches broad at the base, with rotundate or subtruncate sinus; usually a little broader than long, but sometimes and particularly in var. β. a little longer than broad. Peduncles 2 lines, 1/2 or 1 inch long, terminated by 3 subsessile or short-pedicelled, fertile flowers. Fruit 1 line long, when ripe reticulated, involucrated by 2 shorter ovate leaves.
