Note Many non-japanese authors believe that Adenophora triphylla (Thunberg) A. de Candolle var. japonica (Regel) Hara is a synonym of Adenophora triphylla (Thunberg) A. de Candolle. However Adenophora triphylla (Thunberg) A. de Candolle var.triphylla has narrow liaves. Due to this difference, most Japanese authors believe that Adenophora triphylla (Thunberg) A. de Candolle var. japonica (Regel) Hara should be identified as an independent variation.
