(2) M.A.Fischer, W.Adler, K.Oswald, Exkursionsflora Oesterreich Liechtenstein, Suedtirol, LO Landesmuseen, Linz, Austria (2005), p 600. ------------------------------------------- Note that this is actually neither a subspecies (D. mezereus ssp. alba) of a variety (D. mezereun var. alba) of D. mezereum but only a rare form of it (D. mezereum fo. alba) . Unfortunately CalPhotos allows only var. or ssp. to be inputted into the form. So, I put it as 'var.'.
