The Siberian Æ. aquatica is closely allied to this species, being distinguished 
from it solely by its obovate leaves with a cartilaginous border, erect calycine 
teeth, and by the lobes of the corolla being pointless. "They both agree in 
having the capsule elevated on a long stalk.

Well distinguished from the preceding group by the fringed throat of its 
corolla. This fringe, composed of a series of narrow linear segments, is not to 
be confounded with the accessory lobes, but is clearly of the same nature with 
the fringed glands found at the base of the petals of Swertia and Agathotes.
