Notes: Eriksen and Elven: Draba oligosperma was found in 1999 in a locality on Victoria Island (B. Eriksen, specimens in GBG, ALA, CAN, and O, identified by Elven). The distance to the nearest locality, in the non-arctic parts of the Mackenzie Mountains (Porsild and Cody 1980), is rather long (ca. 1000 km).
