A "crisphead lettuce" has a hard, crispy, bland head.

A "butterhead lettuce" is a loose-leafed, tender, buttery head.

"Romaine lettuce (aka 'cos')" grows in upright, tight, bundles.

A "looseleaf lettuce" grows in leaves and doesn't form a head, often having a strong flavor and deeply colored.

There! Now you can't say you don't know the difference between the 4 common types of lettuce ;-)
