Flat leaf parsley is the culinary parsley used throughout history. Curly leaf 
parsley is a mutation which occurred post-period and is used for garnish. The 
species is Petroselinum crispum. Both flat leaf and curly are the same 
species but curly leaf is a variety, for instance, P. crispum var. crispum. 
There are no other species of parsley. 

Although curly leaf parsley can be used in cooking, it is a poor substitute 
and the flavor pales when compared to flat leaf.
