I have to conclude that I am probably mistaken, Jonna.
After much searching, I did find an old description of both but I don't understand how they are distinguished from it in any way that would show in the photographs. The two species come from different geographical areas but both are shown in photos from the wild as having pale yellow flowers (or more tersely in the descrption, "yellow") so I don't believe flower colour is useful.
Maybe I'm forgetting how they look when they're immature.
Anyway, please accept my apology for casting doubt on this ID.
