Servettaz divides this species into 3 subspecies; to his subsp. grandifolia belongs 

 Rosthorn's No. 1104 and to his subsp. stricta belong Henry^s 6652, and 7424 and 

 Wilson's No. 3564. The difference between the type and tliis subspecies seems to 

 be very slight; subsp. grandifolia is more distinct.
