This species isn't around often, and is often cited to be closely related to crocata.  In my opinion it doesn't bear that much resemblance to crocata; the leaves are shorter and thinner and they are more loosely spaced along the stem.  The flowers are much smaller than any form of crocata I know and the scent is barely noticeable
