Distribution

Western Alaska: Rare
Central Canada: Rare
Hudson Bay - Labrador: Rare
Shrub Tundra: Rare
Bordering boreal or alpine areas: Scattered

2n= 28 (4x). - Alaska, Canada (Manitoba). - Dawe and Murray (1979, for P. multifida but is P. bimundorum, voucher checked); Löve and Löve (1982b, for P. multifida).

Geography: Amphi-Pacific - North American (N): ALA CAN.

Notes: Yurtsev: Potentilla bimundorum has a more northern range than [P. tergemina] (Soják 1974a) but it very weakly penetrates the Arctic, mostly as an adventive plant.

Elven and Murray: Potentilla bimundorum is an assumed 'basal' species and probably parental in at least one important assumedly hybridogeneous species: P. rubricaulis. It is rather common in Alaska and northern Canada and reaches the Arctic in several places both as native and as adventive.
