Discussion | Subspecies 8 (6 in the flora). Subspecies of Calystegia sepium mostly show strong geographic separation; morphologic intermediates between subspecies of C. sepium and between C. sepium and other species of Calystegia make taxonomy difficult. Subspecies roseata Brummitt is known from Atlantic coasts of Europe, temperate coasts of South America, Easter Island, New Zealand, and Australia; subsp. spectabilis Brummitt is known from Europe and Asia.
