Geography: European (E) - Asian (NW) & North American (Greenlandic, E): RUS SIB GRL.

Notes: Petrovsky: Plants from the Russian Far East (East Chukotka) reported as Draba sibirica are probably rather glabrous D. juvenilis.

Murray: Plants from Alaska and the Yukon Territory have been referred to this species. They belong to the related but specifically distinct, non-arctic D. ogilviensis Hultén (see Murray and Parker 1999). The chromosome counts (2n = 16) reported by Mulligan in Porsild (1967) and Mulligan and Porsild (1969b) under the name D. sibirica also belong to D. ogilviensis.
