931 Cardamine bellidifolia L.

This species has a wide arctic, partly arctic-montane distribution. It belongs to the circumpolar plants (Hultén, Circumpol. Il, p. 46 and map 38). In the high mountains of N. California and Oregon var. pachyphylla Cov. & Leib. is distinguished (see map). The closely related C. alpina Willd. in the Alps and Pyrenees is also mapped separately. Cf. also Meusel et al. 1965, map p. 187.
