The pedicels are variably hairy, even within individuals. In at least some plants the hairs are deciduous (numerous hair bases being visible under high magnification); such plants may have been referred to subsp. elatine. In concordance with Barker (1986), it may be that most or all Victorian representatives of K. elatine are variants of subsp. crinita.
