The earlier specimens were at first placed under D. alpina, 
Linn., but with additional material including fruit now available, 
it is preferable to give the plant specific rank. It is very different 
in its low caespitose habit, its long style, and twisted shining 
fruit. It is possibly the same as D. alpina, Linn., var. letophylla, 
Franch, (Plant. Delav., p. 59), which I have not seen.
