| Notes | Yurtsev: Subspecies deflexa represents no doubt an ancestral type, e.g., with well developed stems, long lax inflorescence, and long stipitate almost cylindrical pods. Elven: Subspecies norvegica is even more pronounced in these features. Its minute and very isolated range is within a part of Europe heavily ice-covered during the last glaciation and it is hardly an ancestral type, at least not where it now is. It is rather a recent (late glacial) segregate from the Asian "ancestral type". |
