1579 Scutellaria galericulata L.

This mainly boreal species is widely distributed in Eurasia and N. America. Closely related species occur in E. Asia, viz. S. yezoensis Kudo and S. ikonnikovii Juz. The N. American population is distinguished as S. galericulata var. pubescens Benth. Together with these taxa S. galericulata forms a circumpolar distribution pattern (Hultén, Circumpol. Il, p. 150, 365 and map 141). Cf. also Meusel et al. 1978, map p. 371.
