Servettaz divides this species into 3 subspecies; to his subsp. grandifoUa 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 this subspecies seems to 

 be very slight; subsp. grandifoUa is more distinct.
