I wondered whether this plant was named because of the difficulty in splitting it from the other members of this genus particularly F. officinalis. It is very similar to F. officinalis in colour of flower and leaf but is much more vigorous. In fact you must look at the teeth on the sepals and the length of the pedicel compared with inflorescence to see differences with the other genus members.
