specifically separable from true V. multiflora. Its only distinctive 
feature of consequence seems to be its very narrow revolute leaves, 
and since these are not accompanied by other diagnostic characters, 
as they are in the case of the annual species of this section, the 
plant is best treated as a variety of V. multiflora.
