--><span class="statement" id="st-undefined" data-properties=""><b>Plants </b>to 3 m, herbage variously pubescent, mostly sparsely to densely stellate-hairy to glabrate. <b>Stems</b> sparingly to freely branched. <b>Leaves</b>: stipules 2.5–10 mm; petiole of lower leaves 1/3–2/3 times blade; blade narrowly ovate to transversely ovate, often palmately or hastately 3(–5)-lobed, 5.5–17.5 × 3.5–16 cm, margins coarsely to finely serrate or irregularly dentate or ± entire, apex acute to acuminate. <b>Inflorescences</b> solitary flowers in axils of upper leaves or axillary on lateral branches. <b>Pedicels</b> exceeding petiole but not blade; involucellar bractlets 8–10, linear to subulate, 4–10 mm. <b>Flowers</b>: calyx divided for ca. 3/4 its length, campanulate to rotate, 7–11 mm; corolla rotate, becoming funnelform-campanulate as day progresses, petals usually pink, rarely white, yellow at base, asymmetrically obovate, 15–45 × 10–40 mm; staminal column ± declinate, yellow, 15–35 mm, bearing filaments nearly to base; filaments mostly 1–2.5 mm; anthers subsessile, yellow; pollen yellow; styles deep pink, 2.5–9 mm; stigmas deep pink. <b>Capsules</b> dark brown, 10–14 mm diam., minutely to coarsely hairy, valve margins strongly curved in outline. <b>Seeds</b> brown with paler concentric lines, 3–4 mm, glabrous. <b>2n</b> = 38 (as <i>K. virginica</i>).</span><!--

|discussion=<p><i>Kosteletzkya pentacarpos</i> has been known widely in the United States as <i>K. virginica</i>; the Eurasian <i>K. pentacarpos</i> is virtually indistinguishable from our northeastern plants (O. J. Blanchard 2008). The two basionyms were published simultaneously by Linnaeus; A. J. Cavanilles ([1785]–1790, diss. 3) was the first to unite them, and his choice of the epithet pentacarpos must be followed.</p><!--
--><p>A chromosome number of 2n = 34, at variance with that accepted here, has been reported for <i>Kosteletzkya pentacarpos</i> (N. Tornadore et al. 2000); it is probably an error (O. J. Blanchard 2012).</p><!--
--><p><i>Kosteletzkya pentacarpos</i> is variable, and this is reflected in the number of infraspecific names that have appeared. S. N. Alexander et al. (2012) examined the named variants and concluded that only a narrow-leaved extreme from southern Florida should be retained: <i>K. pentacarpos</i> var. smilacifolia. White-flowered plants are found occasionally.</p>
