Although Fragaria nubicola is closely related to Fragaria vesca, it is generally recognised to be a distinct species characterised by appressed persistent sepals in fruit (this may be difficult to see in herbarium material).

The cultivated strawberry, Fragaria x ananassa (Weston) Duchesne ex Rozier, is a hybrid of two American species, Fragaria chiloensis (L) Mill., native to South America and W North America, and Fragaria virginiana Mill., native to E North America. It is characterised by large, tasty fruits to 3cm diameter with sepals appressed, and spreading hairs on stems, petioles and pedicels.
