Notes: Lepidotheca suaveolens is an established adventive in the Arctic in Iceland, Norway, European Russia, Alaska, Canada, and Greenland. We therefore assume it to be established in the Arctic in the Russian Far East, too.
The name Matricaria matricarioides has often been applied to this species but is based on Artemisia matricarioides Less., Linnaea 6: 210 (1831), a synonym of Tanacetum huronense (Brouillet 2006b).
