640803c Dryas punctata subsp. hookeriana (Juz.) Jurtz.

Distribution

Northern Alaska - Yukon: Present only in the Borderline Arctic
Shrub Tundra: Present only in the Borderline Arctic
Bordering boreal or alpine areas: Scattered

Geography: Cordilleran: (CAN).

Notes: Elven and Murray: Cody (in comment) reported subsp. hookeriana to reach the Arctic in the Yukon Territory. Yurtsev doubted this. We enter it as borderline arctic. Subspecies hookeriana and subsp. alaskensis may belong to a different evolutionary lineage from Dryas punctata s. str., i.e., they may be two races of a Cordilleran and narrowly amphi-Beringian species for which D. hookeriana would be the priority name. There is no combination of "alaskensis" as a race within D. hookeriana.
