Intermediates are known between subsp. frigida and subsp. multiflora. Plants apparently
close to L. multiflora subsp. frigida are sometimes recorded in Asia (China, Mongolia);
similar plants are occasionally found in C Europe [J.Kirschner, Preslia 67: 219–223 (1996)];
they are treated as a part of the variation range of subsp. sibirica(Chinese plants) and subsp.
multiflora (C European plants).

Plants 12–35 cm tall. Basal leaves sparsely ciliate or subglabrous, 2.5–4.0 mm wide; cauline
leaves usually 1 or 2; upper cauline leaves 3.5–7.0 cm long, 2.0–3.0 mm wide. Lower bract
usually 2.5–4.5 cm long, overtopping inflorescence. Inflorescence subcongested with some
pedunculate clusters or with most clusters pedunculate; clusters 3–7, ellipsoid-ovoid
or ovoid, 7–10-flowered. Peduncles straight, smooth, rarely with secondary branches, to
1.5–4.5 cm long. Bracteoles 1.5 mm long, subentire or ciliate. Tepals brown or dark brown,
2.4–2.8 mm long. Anthers 0.6–0.9 mm long, anther/filament length ratio 1.0–1.3; ovary
0.9 mm long; style 0.5–0.8 mm long; stigmas 1.2–1.5 mm long. Capsules obovoid to
subglobular, equalling perianth or shorter; capsule segments 1.9–2.2 mm long. Seeds oblongovoid
or ellipsoid, 1.0–1.1 mm long, 0.7 mm wide; appendages 0.3 mm long. 2n=36 [36AL]
