This taxon is very problematic, being considered as a species or a subspecies by the Romanian and Balkan naturalists and a mere variety by other authors. At a first sight the subspecific characters are quite clear: larger and fewer flowers, a different pattern of the spots on the petals and the stems are not densely patent hairy at the base. However, investigations upon the populations of the two taxa are necessary to see what the real taxonomical level to be considered realistically should be.
