Note in illustration: Map: P.Montserrat, Anales Inst. Bot. Cavanilles 21(2): map 8 (1964).
Notes: An imperfectly known taxon, presumed to be a polyploid derivative of subsp. campestris. In addition to the holotype gathering, only a single additional specimen is known. However, its location, rather far from Sierra Nevada and in a different ecological situation, raises some doubts about its identity.
