84. A. glabricaulis H. Lindb. , Acta Soc. Sci. Fenn. 37 (10): 3 (1909).

Medium-sized, up to 35cm; stems glabrous, usually only slightly exceeding leaves. Leaves suborbicular, with sparse patent hairs above, glabrous beneath except for sparse hairs distally on the main veins; lobes 7-9, short, broadly triangular, with short incisions and 5-8 short, wide teeth. Inflorescence narrow, completely glabrous, with rather few flowers 1-5-3 mm wide. N.E. Europe. Rs (N, B, C) [Fe]. A. parcipila Juz. , Not. Syst. (Leningrad) 14: 175 (1951), described from C. Ural (Osljanka), is said to differ from 84 in the sparse, patent hairs on the summer petioles, and was therefore included in Subser. Heteropodae by Juzepczuk. Some material determined by Juzepczuk as this species has entirely glabrous petioles, however, and cannot be distinguished from 84.
