| Primula anvilensis S. Kelso | |
| Publ. & Syn. | S. Kelso, Syst. Bot. 12: 10 (1987). Holotype (ALA): Alaska: the Seward Peninsula, the Nome area, Anvil Mountain, leg. S. Kelso 83-136. |
| Notes | The diploid Primula anvilensis was originally considered a very local Seward Peninsula species (see Kelso 1987b) but has now been found in at least two areas farther north in Krusenstern National Monument and in the mountains bordering the Noatak River valley north of Kotzebue (Solstad and Elven, ALA and O) and also south of the Seward Peninsula (Kelso 2009c). It is a very distinctive, delicate species, not resembling any of the others of the section. It is, however, related in the analysis of Guggisberg et al. (2006) to the amphi-Beringian hexaploid P. borealis, to two diploid western U.S. species (P. alcalina Cholewa & Henderson and P. specuicola Rydb.), and to the diploid Japan and Kurile Islands P. modesta Bissett & Moore. |
