I don´t think it´s L. repens var. sessilis
Thanks for the comment Fred! Can you suggest another species to consider? As currently circumscribed , L. repens is a species complex with uncertain species boundaries. The best fitting name I can find is L. foersteri Rosenst., which Kramer and Price considered to be synonyms of L. repens var. sessilis. I am not sure that I agree with them, but I have not studied this group enough to weigh-in further. I would love to hear more about this if you have further insight
