Discussion

Varieties 2 (1 in the flora).

Clarke is native in India and Pakistan; compared to the typical variety, it has leaves small and softly villous, petal apices round or scarcely emarginate, and fruits smaller and obovoid-oblong. The range and magnitude of difference suggests that var. amara may be justifiably treated as a distinct species, depending on the degree of isolation.
