710504 Douglasia gormanii Constance

Distribution

Northern Alaska - Yukon: Present only in the Borderline Arctic
Shrub Tundra: Present only in the Borderline Arctic
Bordering boreal or alpine areas: Scattered

Geography: American Beringian: (ALA).

Notes: Borderline Arctic. Kelso: I'm not sure of your boundaries; if they extend into the mountains of northern Alaska, then this species should be included as well.

Elven: In her draft for Flora of North America, Kelso wrote: "Douglasia gormanii occurs ... in the Brooks, St. Elias, and Alaska Ranges" but this information was simplified, with loss of detail, in the finished account (Kelso 2009b).

Kelso: Androsace gormanii Greene is a synonym for Androsace septentrionalis L., not Douglasia gormanii. Thus D. ochotensis ssp. gormanii (Greene) Á. Löve & D. Löve is also a synonym of A. septentrionale and refers neither to D. ochotensis nor to D. gormanii.
