Potentilla
Publ. & Syn.Potentilla rubricaulis auct., non Lehm. (1830).
NotesThis is a deviating, very densely and softly woolly plant documented from populations at several localities in northern and eastern Baffin Island. It combines characters from Potentilla pulchella (semidigitate to semipinnate leaves) and P. vahliana (columnar structure, pubescence combining hair types from P. subvahliana and P. nivea). This plant is too little studied and documented to be fully recognized as a hybrid species yet.
Chromosomes56 (8x). - Canada (the Great Bear Lake area). - Dansereau and Steiner (1956, probably true P. rubricaulis).
