Discussion | Subspecies 3 (2 in the flora). Subspecies silvatica is native to eastern Mediterranean Europe; it has corollas (50–)55–75(–88) mm, stamens (25–)28–36(–39) mm, and bract apices emarginate to truncate. Intermediates between Calystegia silvatica and C. sepium may be due to ancient or recent hybridization. (Discussion copyrighted by Flora of North America; reprinted with permission.) |
The nomenclatural type of Calystegia pubescens may prove to be conspecific with the type of Convolvulus japonicus Thunberg. Plants are sterile; reproduction is by rhizomes. (Discussion copyrighted by Flora of North America; reprinted with permission.) |
