A variable complex of regional populations characterized by long anthers, usually much
longer than the filaments, usually interrupted or distinctly lobate inflorescence, and large
capsule segments and seeds. Local populations often are relatively distinctive, deviating
from the average values in a number of quantitative characters. However, numerous
substantial overlaps of the quantitative character ranges do not allow recognition of the local
types at a rank higher than variety. A unique feature is the multiple, fixed occurrence of
2n=16=8AL+8BL in the Caucasus.
