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.) |
