|discussion=<p><i>Waldsteinia</i> doniana is usually synonymized with <i>W. parviflora</i>; according to M. L. Fernald (1935) it is based on an aberrant cultivated form of <i>W. fragarioides</i>. <i>Waldsteinia fragarioides</i> and <i>W. parviflora</i> are often combined, then often distinguished as varieties. The flower size of <i>W. fragarioides</i> is very variable, and it seems that larger flowers are more usual in the north of the range. The best differentiator from <i>W. parviflora</i> is sepal length relative to petal length, and all specimens with adequate material seen by the author were distinguishable. <i>Waldsteinia fragarioides</i> is used as a mat-forming groundcover in ornamental horticulture.</p>
