The Turkish subspecies scarcely differs from that of southern Europe - subsp. silaifolium - but has more rigid leaves and leaflets that are above twice as long as broad. In general, the species can be easily recognized on the combined characters of fruit shape and prominent ventral surface ieaf venation. It is not a very variable taxon in Turkey, but some rather anomalous forms do occur - such as D. 14285, or some plants from the Amanus, which have leafier stems, broader leaf segments and papillose young fruits - but none seems to merit taxonomic recognition.
