Taxonomic notes:
Two races are distinct throughout much of the species range, sometimes occurring in adjacent different habitats, but their differences break down on coastal dunes. The species may ultimately be combined with a much expanded S. monogyna.
Key to Infraspecific taxa:
|
1. Inflorescences cylindrical, the flowers pointing in all directions, often cream-white; branching at ground-level and, at least in the form of axillary vegetative buds, in upper parts |
|
subsp. A 2a. |
|
1. Inflorescences unilateral, the mature flowers pointed to one side, often yellow; branching at ground-level only |
|
subsp. B 2b. |
