Agrostis scabra Willd. | |
Publ. & Syn. | Agrostis scabra var. septentrionalis Fernald, Rhodora 35: 209 (1933). Type (GH?): Canada: Newfoundland, dry serpentine slopes near Winterhouse Brook, Bonne Day, 08. Aug. 1929, leg. Fernald, Long, and Fogg 1310. - Agrostis scabra subsp. septentrionalis (Fernald) Á. Löve and D. Löve, Bot. Not. 128: 504 (1976). |
Notes | Murray and Elven: Löve and Löve (1975a, 1976a, and earlier) accepted an amphi-Beringian and northwestern North American subsp. scabra and a northeastern North American and Greenlandic subsp. septentrionalis (see Fernald 1933 and Fredskild 1964). We have compared northeastern and northwestern North American plant and do not find the differences reported by Fernald (1933) consistent. |
