Comments: There is considerable disagreement about whether this taxon and the next should be treated as separate species or vars. of Spiraea alba. Until convincing systematic, range-wide studies are done, and given the occurrence of apparent introgressive plants in our area, we are retaining the more conservative varietal treatments.
