Note: Belcher (1956) also reported forma organensis (Gardner) Belcher from Bolivia. This form was distinguished by having much more finely divided leaves with entire or minutely serrulate segments, and the plants usually of small stature. Its associated synonymy is added to the typical variety above but can easily be extracted if considered worth separating as a distinct entity. However, it should be recognized that this, and indeed E. hieraciifolia, are extremely variable even in one locality.
