250203 Veratrum viride Aiton
- Aiton, Hort. Kew. 3: 422 (1789). Described from eastern North America.
Geography: North American (W) & North American (E).
Notes: Veratrum viride s. lat. is a tetraploid North American species or species group with two well separated (widely allopatric) taxa: subsp. viride in the east but south of the Arctic, and subsp. eschscholtzii (V. eschscholtzii) in the west and bordering on the Arctic. McNeal Jr. and Shaw (2006) argue for treatment as two races rather than species.
