| Notes: |
This subspecies differs from subsp. kirkii in the much more finely divided leaves with linear-elliptic ultimate segments. In Zimbabwe it is found in the drier parts of the country, particularly on kalahari sand. In allocating countries and divisions from the Clematopsis scabiosifolia groups in FZ 1(1), pp. 93-95, I have taken the records for Group A to belong to subsp. stanleyi and records from all the other groups to be subsp. kirkii. |
