Remark. Described a number of intraspecific taxa that reflect the rich leaf variability, have not taxonomic significance. Such is the case that the pointed out for flora of Bulgaria, var. longipedunculata (Opiz) Don. (Brizicky, 1940), var. longipes Dav. (Georg., 1898). Among the populations of this type can be found complete transitions in terms of the leaf shape, and in terms of the length of the flower stalks and other vegetative organs.
Fruit box in many cases is not formed probably because apomiksis .
Flowering Time: Blooms: IV-VIII, fruitful: VII-VIII.
