Figuring out the Desmodium paniculatum complex is a work in progress. The Digital Atlas of the Virginia Flora recognizes 2 subspecies (var. epetiolatum and var. paniculatum), but also notes that Perplexing Tick-trefoil (D. perplexum) has been subsumed under D. paniculatum in many past studies and may or may not be a separate species.
