Notes: Elven and Solstad: Plants showing features intermediate between Erigeron eriocephalus and E. uniflorus occur in the Fennoscandian mountains and in Iceland, at least in the former region north to the Arctic, but we provisionally exclude E. eriocephalus from arctic Scandinavia and Iceland. The Norwegian record above is based on Svalbard plants which are undisputable E. eriocephalus, and E. uniflorus is absent from these islands.
