Notes

It seems inappropriate to treat this as a subspecies of G. molle although it has been claimed that they are merely varieties differing only in size of petals. The two taxa are clearly distinct morphologically and ecologically, and co-occur in a large part of the range of G. brutium without apparent intermediates as is the comparable case in G. robertianum and G.purpureum (E. Bergmeier).
