This is one of those sub species which the ordinary botanist would probably overlook but on this WFS trip we were ably tutored by Mr Vincent Jones. He pointed out that this plant has not flowers coming from the axils of the linear/ lanceolate leaves on the long slender stem. Stace points out that the internode distance is also shorter at the bottom of the plant.
This is mostly Scottish hill plant with a few outposts in Northern England including Teesdale but it does not occur in Central or Southern England or Wales.
