- Regel, Bull. Soc. Imp. Naturalistes Moscou 34, 2: 53 (1861). Described from Siberia (in general terms). - Caltha sibirica (Regel) Tolm., Bot. Mater. Gerb. Bot. Inst. Komarova Akad. Nauk SSSR 17: 153 (1955). - Caltha arctica subsp. sibirica (Regel) Tolm., Fl. Arct. URSS 6: 129 (1971).
Geography: Asian (N/C): SIB RFE.
Notes: The very few and scattered localities mapped by Tolmachev (1971b) do not inspire confidence in var. sibirica as a consistent taxon in an arctic context. Its range is largely encompassed by that of subsp. radicans. Friesen (1993) synonymized var. sibirica with subsp. arctica (= subsp. radicans). Entered provisionally.
