(b) Subsp. alpigena Temesy , Phyton (Austria) 7: 40 (1957):

Laxly caespitose, with more numerous rosettes and with creeping, sometimes leafy stems; leaves almost glabrous, usually smaller; petals 3-5 mm; pedicel more than twice as long as capsule. Mountains o f C. & S. Europe, from the Vosges and the Carpathians to S. Spain, N. Appennini and N. Greece.

In both subspecies viviparous plants are known, in which many of the flowers are replaced by leafy buds; these are, however, less fleshy and bulbil-like than in 6, and are dispersed throughout the lax panicle. Such plants are known from E. Austria & Slovenija, W. Ireland, and possibly elsewhere.
