Very variable is presence or absence of bulbils in the umbel and in flower colour. Specimens with all flowers replaced by bulbils (A. compactum Thuill.), many-flowered specimens with few bulbils, and specimens with flowers and lacking bulbils (var. capsuliferum W. Koch) often occur in the same populations. Specimens with greenish-white flowers (var. virens Boiss., A. affine Boiss. & Heldr. non Ledeb., A, assimile Hal.) have occasionally been collected, mainly near Istanbul.
