Bain and Denford (1979) reported six diploid chromosome counts for the hybrid C. canadense x suecicum from Alaska. A report by Gervais et al. (1999) from eastern Canada for C. canadense x suecicum should probably also be assigned to this hybrid.

Notes: Elven and Murray: Chamaepericlymenum suecicum has an oceanic-suboceanic range in both Eurasia and North America, only partly overlapping with the much more continental range of C. canadense. The zones of contact are therefore limited.
