Discussion

Subspecies 2 (1 in the flora).

Verbascum lychnitis is recognized by its bicolored leaves, sessile and non-clasping cauline leaves, freely branched inflorescences with loosely overlapping flower clusters, relatively long pedicels, and relatively small, white corollas. Subspecies moenchii (C. F. Schultz) Holub & F. Mlady was recognized in 1978, referring to a white-flowered variant in central Europe.
