C. bohemica Hruby in Domin & Podp., Klíč Úplné Kvet. Rep. Česk. 534 (1928), and C. gelida Kovanda , Folia Geobot. Phytotax. (Praha) 3: 408 (1968), are well-marked geographical variants of 139. They occur in the W. & E. Sudeten Mts. respectively and both have erect buds. The former has the corolla campanulate and rounded at the base and the capsule 6-8(-10) mm, while the latter has a tubular corolla gradually narrowed at the base and the capsule 5-6 mm. Both have 2/2 = 68.

C. pollinensis Podi. , Mitt. Bot. Staatssamm. (München) 8: 211 (1970), from S. Italy (Prov. Cosenza), resembles 139 but is probably more closely related to spp. 105-126. It has a papillose ovary and glabrous cauline leaves.
