Antennaria friesiana subsp. neoalaskana (A.E. Porsild) R.J. Bayer & Stebbins
Publ. & Syn.R.J. Bayer & Stebbins, Canad. J. Bot. 71: 1596 (1993). - Antennaria neoalaskana A.E. Porsild, Sargentia 4: 71 (1943). Holotype (CAN)?: Canada: the Northwest Territories, west of the Mackenzie River Delta, 68 x 136 [Richardson Mountains], 07.-10. July 1933, leg. A.E. Porsild.
NotesMale and female plants are equally frequent in subsp. neoalaskana; sexual. Löve and Löve (1975a) synonymized Antennaria neoalaskana with A. compacta, a taxon which Bayer (1993, 1996) included in A. alpina s. lat. and Chmielewski (1997) in A. media. However, the Löves cited only a northeastern Asian chromosome number report (Zhukova et al. 1973) for this plant which otherwise is considered purely American. They have probably mixed and corrupted the original data. The sexual subsp. neoalaskana differs distinctly morphologically from the also sexual subsp. alaskana (Bayer 2006).
Chromosomes56 (8x). - Bayer (2006, secondary report).
