Notes: Elven and Murray: We consider subsp. alpinus to be much more widely distributed than Yurtsev did. The Greenland record is based on one individual discovered in 1952 in a well botanized site. It most probably is adventive (Pedersen 1972). If so, it probably belongs to subsp. alpinus as this is the predominant race in the areas from where it may have been introduced. However, we have not studied the material (probably in C).
