Discussion
Pilea fontana and P. pumila are separated primarily by differences in their mature achenes. In addition, leaves of P. fontana are often more opaque and less shiny than those of P. pumila. A few collections of P. pumila from Bourbon, Owen, and Robertson counties, Kentucky, and Macon County, Tennessee, have the black achenes of P. fontana, but without the bosses, and show striations on the younger achenes as in P. pumila. I have seen only two mixed collections (Chisago County, Minnesota, and Richland-Ransom county line, South Dakota), which probably indicates that these two very similar species seldom occur together, even though their ranges overlap completely.
