NotesElven and Murray: One locality for Hippuris montana is documented in the Arctic, in western Alaska: St. Matthew Island, 07. Aug. 1944, leg. F.L. Beals 44379 (ALA), referred by Hultén (1968a). We have controlled the material. This is the only known locality north of its main range which reaches the non-arctic Aleutian Islands and the Alaska Peninsula. Hippuris montana is rather different from the other species, not least in its unisexual flowers.
