Notes: Petrovsky (PAF draft) indicated presence of Stellaria davurica in the Arctic in the Russian Far East, whereas Palvola and Bezdeleva (1996) did not accept Russian Far East records. Vlasova (1993) mapped it as southern in Siberia and not to reach the Arctic. These ambiguities are not resolved. Stellaria davurica resembles morphologically S. edwardsii (or S. ciliatosepala). Arctic records might belong to the latter species.
Petrovsky: Stellaria laxmannii is perhaps a synonym for S. davurica.
