Three subspecies have been recognized by J. Bisse, Feddes Repert. 67: 187-188 (1967), based primarily on material from Germany and utilizing leaf-width and -disposition, spike-density, diameter and odour of the flowers, and spur-width. It is uncertain whether the characters used are valid over the whole range of the species and further study is required.
