Discussion

Plants of var. semicalva are less branched and usually have narrower leaves and shorter axillary peduncles than those of var. parviflora. They are found above 1500 m as far south as Distrito Federal, Mexico. Morphologic intermediates between the diploid var. parviflora and the tetraploid var. semicalva occur throughout the range of var. semicalva.
