Geography: Asian Beringian: RFE.
Notes: Petrovsky and Elven: Khatri's (1990) proposal of Cardamine sphenophylla as a variety of C. digitata is not supported by morphology. After inspection of specimens (LE), we agree that this is a distinct species not closely related to C. digitata. It would be more reasonable to relate C. sphenophylla to C. victoris.
