Not included: A report of 2n = 48 from northeastern Greenland (Jørgensen et al. 1958) is probably based on misidentified D. cinerea or D. arctogena.
Geography: North American (NE): CAN GRL.
Notes: Elven and Petrovsky: Variety ovibovina was described as a race of Draba ostenfeldii E. Ekman. It might be a race of D. arctica s. str. Jørgensen et al. (1958) reported it to be hexaploid (2n = 48) but this was refuted by Böcher.
