A frequent nemoral species with two 'subspecies' differentiated by vague characters such as the the length and the number of teeth on the margins of the leaves (ssp. carpatica (Klokov) P.V. Ball) which rather seem to be a clinal variation of the species from western to easten Europe. The flowers of this supposed subspecies seems also to be quite different. In southern Italy, Sicily and the Balkans there is ssp. albida.Cheile Valisoarei natural reservation area in beech forests, Alba county, 23rd of May 2010. Adrian Macavei, MSc, adi_m_bn@yahoo.com
