Like 44 but leaves orbicular-reniform, often with narrow sinus; lobes usually 7-9; inflorescence more or less hairy up to and including the smaller branches; pedicels glabrous; hypanthium rounded at base. 2n= 105-106. • N.E. Europe, extending to W. Sweden. Fe?Po Rs (B, C) Su [Rs (N)].

Scandinavian authors distinguish 45 and 46 from 44, principally on the degree of hairiness of the inflorescence, but plants occur in the Alps with sparse hairs on the inflorescence-branches and even on the hypanthium, and the distinction is not easy to maintain.
