From small-leaved forms of the following species, L. 
humilis may be distinguished by the broader bracts, and 
also by the sparser pilose pubescence from certain forms 
of L. Altmannit Saravshanica, which sometimes greatly 
resembles ZL. humilis in habit and shape of foliage.

L. Altmannii is exceedingly variable in the pubescence, 
the size and shape of the foliage and also in the relative 
length of tube and limb of the corolla. There are forms 
which approach ZL. humilis, while others are similar to L.
