A typo perulis persistentibus differt. :
While this subspecies agrees very closely with the typical form of the
species it may be distinguished by the persistent bud-scales. The
distinctive name removes doubt as to whether this form should be placed
under the typical form or under subsp. didymum, forms with both gland-
ular and tomentose glandular ovaries are in this instance included. The
flowers are crimson-red.
