| Publ. & Syn. | Primula tschuktschorum var. beringensis A.E. Porsild, Canad. Field-Naturalist 79: 87 (1965). Holotype (CAN): Alaska: St. Lawrence Island, Boxer Bay, 1960, leg. Sauer. - Primula tschuktschorum subsp. beringensis (A.E. Porsild) Jurtz. & Kozhevn., Bot. Zhurn. 57: 73 (1972). - Primula beringensis (A.E. Porsild) Jurtz., Bot. Zhurn. 60: 242 (1975). |
| Notes | Kelso: Primula tschuktschorum is only known from the Chukchi Peninsula, St. Lawrence Island, and the Seward Peninsula (Kelso 1987a). Some confusion has resulted from this entity being considered more widespread (Hultén 1968a, 1968b) or even the most widespread one, and by Löve and Löve (1975a) recognizing three subspecies and obviously considering their subsp. tschuktschorum the most widespread. Elven, Parker, and Murray: After Kelso's study some large-grown, broad-leaved, beautifully large-flowered and distinctly heterostylous plants have been collected in at least two localities in the Cape Newenham area in southwestern Alaska (ALA). These plants do not really resemble the small and narrow-leaved plants from the Chukchi and Seward peninsulas, to which the name P. tschuktschorum belongs. Kelso (2009c), however, included them in this species. |
