Habitat
The inflorescence of this species is usually spike­like but may occasionally be a little more branched. Problems in distinguishing this subspecies may arise be­cause depauperate specimens of both subspecies pro­duce only one terminal dichasium. The shape of the squamae and the distribution help to identify critical specimens such as Thunberg's type specimen.
Use
