Notes: Lashchenkova (1976a) mapped Stellaria holostea from at least two localities inside the Arctic in northeastern European Russia. Jalas and Suominen (1983: map 824) mapped it from the arctic parts of Malozemelskaya Tundra. We therefore denote it as Borderline Arctic.

Petrovsky: There are still doubts about arctic occurrence.
