879 Thalictrum aquilegifolium L.

This Eurasiatic species has a disjunct distribution, earlier probably more continuous. In E. Asia it is represented by var. sibiricum Reg. & Til., considered as a species, T. contortum, by Linnaeus. T. aquilegifolium is adventive at the outlying localities in Fennoscandia (cf. Hultén, Atlas 1971, map 774). Cf. also Meusel et al. 1965, map p. 157.
