NotesMainly the tetraploid chromosome number is reported from subsp. nivicola, all counts on Asian plants. Even if we give Alaska (ALA) and Canada (ALA, CAN) with a question mark only, we have seen material from western Alaska (the Seward Peninsula) morphologically very similar to Asian subsp. nivicola.
Chromosomes28 (4x). - See above. A tetraploid number is counted in the type specimen.
Not included: One report of 2n = 49 from Russia (see above).
