Discussion

Varieties 2 (2 in the flora).

Subspecies varium occurs in a wide range of habitats and displays, accordingly, a wide range of morphological variability. Many features, like the presence of a central strand in the stem, leaf shape, and shape of the leaf apex, are plastic and depend on water availability.

Selected References

None.

Lower Taxa

None.
