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.) |
Calystegia stebbinsii is notable for having no intermediates or hybrids with any other species or any significant infraspecific variants. In some characters, it is similar to C. vanzuukiae; they grow in similar habitats. (Discussion copyrighted by Flora of North America; reprinted with permission.) |
